To you it may be a joke, to me a disabled person it is reality.

? its pointless to watch videos without it being tracked to an account and with adds removed?

Unwatched is great on ios.

I mean, at the limit, if they were clear in their rules that only radical leftists are allowed (which you would assume given it’s called ML - marxist leninism) it might be acceptable.

The genocide denial and masquerading as a neutral all purpose instance isn’t though.

I would take you a little seriously if you weren’t a 13 minute old account with a single issue. (Especially since you yourself deny the Uyghur genocide).

But I agree, it’s problematic that people deny genocide no matter what instance it happens in. But only ML has admins that do it and condone it afaik.

obviously i wouldnt mind if lemmy grows, but I’m quite content with the current active user base.

Dude was like

“Small community of queer people. Not on my watch”

If just for the purpose of avoiding centralisation, I think we should make an effort to not have everything on .world.

But I agree, it’s my personal opinion that my instance should defederate from ML on grounds of genocide denial.

Is it weird this makes me proud to be a blahaj user?

Like when a transphobic government starts hating, you know you’re doing something right.

I have an energy limiting condition and need to manage my energy appropriately. These things massively help.

Hasn’t that endgame been pretty much reached?

As someone who learnt both German and English as a second language, german was far easier to learn. Atleast the spelling and stuff makes sense.

Wait I shouldn’t trust them. I’ve fully switched to them as self hosting on my ancient device is too slow and i dont wanna use anthropic or openai frontends because I don’t trust them via data.

Same

I could do in a four person office with Shiloh, Dayze, and Wallace.

Just look it up.

It’s like being blind: a lot of blind people can still see but not well.

Or using a wheelchair, a lot of people in wheelchairs can still stand short periods or walk short distances, but have a very short limit.

ETC

Society oversimplifies these things to be binary, but in reality they are a spectrum.

Huh, as someone who became deaf later in life, and thus still have the “internal monologue”, good question!

Capitalism absolutely contributes to the loneliness crisis. Firstly, it creates a culture of individualism, making it all about “every person for themselves” rather than fostering a sense of community or collective well-being. Stable, long-term jobs that used to provide social connections are being replaced by gig work and precarious employment, leaving people isolated and too burned out to build meaningful relationships outside work.

On top of that, capitalism pushes this idea that happiness comes from products instead of building connections. Social experiences are even commodified now—like dating apps and paid meetups—so relationships feel more like transactions. Cities, designed for profit, don’t help either. You’ve got people crammed into apartments, commuting for hours, all in their individual cars or with their headphones on, and barely interacting with their neighbours. Public spaces that encourage connection are underfunded or replaced with malls and shopping centres.

And then there’s the way capitalism shapes cultural perception of mental health. Capitalism treats loneliness and isolation as individual problems, with solutions like therapy apps and self-help books (ie. profitable industries) rather than addressing the systemic issues that cause them. Even social media, which could foster connection, is driven by algorithms that push engagement over genuine interaction, leaving people feeling more disconnected after hours of scrolling.

At the end of the day, capitalism is profit over people. It’s no surprise that in a world focused on production, consumption, and competition, we’re all feeling so alone. The link between capitalism and alienation is well studied in social science.

I’m not sure how useful the term “male loneliness” is. There’s a crisis of loneliness in every sex and gender, it’s a side effect of capitalism.
