I think I had a couple iffy uses last week but friends always know I mean well.

Postal mail. Notes. Face to face visits. Less narcissism and self importance.

Don’t feed those troll. In this case AI is the troll.

Yes, I realize I just fed the troll but it’s better yellowstone nothing.

Came here to say this!

I’ve been lurking in ALL for about a week pretty consistently having now completely abandoned the alternatives and I’m not sure I saw the image in question. In fact, I’m pretty sure I didn’t. So, those of you worried about the image… many of us, I presume, didn’t even see it. Anyway… glad to see there is a process to deal with miscreance and glad to know it works!

Please tell me that some activist intentionally dropped their kid down the steep slide just to gather these reactions for this meme? I mean, that would seriously be dedication!

It’s gotten to the point here at Lemmy that I’m wanting to set up my two favorite communities. It’s just that they are so niche I can’t imagine them taking off. And my pleasure in them is of course derived from people who are FAR MORE into them than I am.

But I can’t even go back to that cesspool Reddit now even for the good stuff. Oh well.

I arrived at LEMMY after what I think we very optimistically called the Reddit Collapse. We wish. And I had toe in LEMMY and a few others at Reddit.

Recently with their abusively patronizing redesigning and gamification and just ugly bullshit, I can’t stomach Reddit at all. So LEMMY grows increasingly important, not just to me but to folks who haven’t yet even heard of it.

So, I’ll just say thanks for your post here. I have, I confess, engaged with a couple bullies on LEMMY and I always try to say… I don’t like to do this on LEMMY— and I say that precisely for the reasons you mention.

And as you encourage: I will try to be kinder, even in when feeling… hmm… less than kind.

Please research EMDR. Honestly, it helped me from a very similar past.

Tough though you may be, I too experienced wire coat hangers and the only relief I managed from those memories in adulthood has been EMDR. Look it up. It works.

You wouldn’t believe how many people could not grok this meme.

That’s the spirit, brother.

It’s not okay to ignore 227 upvotes. It’s okay. Some folks get it and some don’t.

Not a popularity contest.

It has been a pleasure to tweak the format and inspire some thought. Thank you.

Getting a post upvoted into the three digits isn’t a given at Lemmy. That a few people don’t get it or appreciate It isn’t on me and It surely isn’t a big deal. I notice you yourself have never contributed a post here. Try It out.

I prefer not to start petty little battles at LEMMY. I’m sorry that you have never heard the phrase: Jack, make sure we get that delivery by today!

It’s English. That’s the fun of it. You might try it.

Example: Chuck, I need that report by today!

$25?? What about subscriptions people pay for storage? It’s nuts.

So… I sorted by TOP— ALL TIME to try to understand this group and I got to this post and realized: you are my people.

And I still don’t “get” the sub but you are my people.
