Fake, that’s way too coherent and competent to have come from a CEO.

The closest I ever found to love was a result of me being unapologetically myself. I was a terrible person but it turns out that someone was into that. By the end I was involved with someone else’s life by no effort of my own; exemplified by the fact that my first memory of them is a few years after their first memory of me. Sadly as I grew as a person we fell off and this time i’m finding it a lot harder to find someone who likes me.

You can make all the vague guesses you want, I’ve lived the experience and can say flat out the instance uses respectability politics to shut out criticism. Like it’s clear as day to anyone on the receiving end of that what they’re about.

All i’m trying to say is them defederating from lemmygrad tells you everything about that instance that you need to know. Hexbear I get, but grad holds themselves up to a way higher standard of comment quality and there was zero reason to defederate outside political. They literally only blocked the instance because they were communists who aren’t afraid to calmly debunk fascist propaganda with sources, and that’s an experience corroborated by literally anyone who has had the displeasure of interacting with their polite-fascist administration.

EDIT: the example you provided is not only completely useless as it guts the original intent of the message but is STILL too offensive for them, as bringing up fascism is already “killing the mood” more than enough for them to remove. Not only that they would accuse you of calling the OP a Nazi which is another way they can shut you down. Believe me I’ve dealt with liberal fascists my whole life i’ve heard it all.

How do you respectfully say “this is nazi propaganda?” You can’t. That’s the point. That’s why they do it.

Because you’re seeing them as an idealized object of desire, not as a person.

How to break out of this: think of a bunch of flaws they could have that would be challenging but not deal-breakers.

Kind of shares the same problem I had with Mobilizon in that none of the current instances are in my region, or my language for that matter.

There’s a phrase for that: Counterjerking too hard. Judging by the reactions you’re getting from this, seems you’ve done it twice in a row.

Remember, counterjerking is not a principled stance; those who stand for nothing will fall for everything.

I quote it nearly every day

There is no problem that can’t be solved by getting off Twitter

Hmm wonder why people would quit a circlejerk platform that bans people who call out when someone posts literal fascist propaganda.

It’s because beehaw mandates its positivity. I once called out one of their posts as being fascist and they banned me for being rude about it.

I feel like any place that forces people to be positive in a world where there’s so much injustice is always going to passively side with evil.

Either you value people above property, which makes you a socialist, or you value property above people, which makes you a fascist.

“Documentation is on discord.”

“Why can’t I join”

“We banned you after seeing what you post on social media.”

For those who don’t get it: The joke is that the nazis went to Argentina, which isn’t even true it’s disinformation peddled by nazis to distract you from the fact they actually went to America. The second half is about the ubermench which only edgy (mentally) 14 year olds would find funny.

Yeah you should make the jump if not seeing transphobia is your goal. lemmyML is a great omni-instance but as a result you’re going to be exposed to a lot of right-wing bullshit. And really, transphobia on blahj? That’s extremely disappointing but not all that surprising.

hexbear seem really good for trans stuff.

HB and blahj are the two explicitly pro-trans instances. Hexbear is strongly oriented towards communism but I would strongly suggest them over blahj just because of their abysmal handling of c/196’s noncery. They just don’t have as strong of a track record as hexbear.

Buy some supplements that contain Vitamin D and Iron. Most people are deficient and it affects their mood. I got some meal replacements that basically contain everything and it’s kept me in good spirits while everything is going to shit. I should be depressed, but I’m not.

EDIT: Iodine too. The over-the-counter stuff is called “kelp” and the reason they don’t put it in multivitamins is because it metabolizes into a substance that in excess will give you gout. Iodine is hard to get from your diet so having supplements every now and then is important.

“Dopamine Detox” and “NoFap” guys are trying to get you frustrated so you’re easier to radicalize. This is a long and storied fascist recruitment tactic. The worse you feel the more likely you are to find community within their circles, and that’s when they get you.

Using alt-right terminology should get you disqualified from any reasonable conversation.

I’ve always saw loss as a stupid internet circlejerk but damn do you people get creative with it.
