  • I’m actually generally scared of the fact that the entire world seems to wander more into right-wing conservatism…

    My main hope is that parties like the AfD, the FPÖ (right-wing extremist party that won the election in Austria), Trump, … will see things like gender identity as more of a side issue in the world and not doing anything, neither good nor bad because they have “better” things to do. I have no clue how gender identity even became a political issue in the first place but it really needs to stop





  • I’m definitely not cute no matter what drug yall are on.

    Yes you are. I don’t know you personally or know how you look like but I still know that you are. Being cute isn’t a measure of physical appearance, but a combo of everything that makes you be yourself. No matter what you feel is true about yourself, there are people out there that will like you for who you are and will think of you as cute, be it in appearance, personality, interests, or whatever (and all of that even without drugs).

    and i need recreational drugs.

    Please be careful… You don’t seem to be in the best state of mind right now and irresponsible/consistent drug use (especially in a hard time) can easily lead into addiction but you probably already know that anyways. Please, for your own sake, try to take care of yourself.






  • Particularly in smaller communities like this entire Lemmy instance, it is much harder for toxicity to develop. Pretty much everyone knows that this community is about posting “lmao i’m lonely and/or horny” memes and it’s easy for new people understand that too (like it was for me).

    Why does reddit have so much toxicity though? The issue is that most mods only really care about a community just being in an acceptable state. What they don’t do is actually make the community into a place where you want to spend more time on. They’re doing the bare minimum to moderate as many communities as possible so that they can get notoriety and moderate bigger subreddits because bigger subs (or reddit themselves) can pay those moderators.

    Reddit even actively encourages this behaviour, not only by paying those mods but also with some decisions on how subreddit management works (not going into details because you could find my reddit username with that).

    The moderation here is out of love for the community. I know very well that the even worst communities can be made into a cozy space with good moderation but if there’s no love for the community then there’s no reason for it (which creates a downwards spiral because the more toxicity, the less love for a sub, and the less love, the less proper moderation).

    For context: I was a moderator for a pretty big subreddit and am the only reason why the sub still exists to this day (even if it turned to shit again after my departure)

    All of that being said tho:

    This image is just a taste of what’s out there that can be toxic

    Please tell me why this is toxic, I don’t think I understand ;-;









  • Yeah pretty much.

    I’m currently in my hormonal cycle and I’m feeling pretty sick and needy and while cramps are rare (at least for me), they do happen for some odd reason and even researchers don’t really know why.

    Btw even cis guys have a hormone cycle but it usually doesn’t have an effect like with estrogen.

    (Also since you’ve asked, please don’t use my words and stuff as a reference to how to use terms in the situation… English isn’t my first language sadly)
