The wheels fell of this one.

I’ve actually never heard that saying. I like it a lot.

That’s the idea. Thanks.

The shitty free lighters they give at smoke shop. Bics are nice, but I’ve already got a million of the cheapies. I have a few zippos too that I love but sometimes I’ll lose interest in maintaining them for months at a time. The grill lighters are 🐐 though.

I think that, in these instances, there is a sort of nuance and humanness that is kinda glossed over.

Its not really that hard to imagine ending up like that. Im not apologizing for them, I’m just saying that we are in a constant fight with our own biology and alot of stuff depends on circumstance.

What these people, apparently, need is some lsd or smth cause they are all stuck in their heads. They hate themselves. It’s all projection and protection of something they don’t even understand.

Should we just let them wallow in their own shit? What is our duty to them, if any? I’m not really sure tbh. But I know pretending that it’s not real ain’t gonna fix shit.

The transparency is refreshing.

Tbh that sounds like how people are pushed into extremism. When an open dialog is kept, there is at least a chance a thought provoking discussion would change a mind, even if it’s just one mind. I don’t really know, I don’t mind defederating in this instance ftmp, nothing of value for me there so whatever.

I guess these ppl are already extremists, so 🤷

I agree all the way.

I sort all/new or subscribed/new and just scroll. I’m subbing to a vast array of communities I wouldn’t have otherwise and I’ve found a number of really good reads and discussions. If there was a way to hide already viewed threads it would make the experience much better, but I can live with it for now.

I’m using jerboa. It’s very similar to rif. I had zero expectations coming in. And that’s probably a big part of why I like it.

It’s definitely buggy. Clunky. Etc. But I’m here for it, and I’m curious what becomes of it. It’s actually pretty intuitive, and the bugs will be ironed out as we go. It’s kind of like everything in life. It’s what we make it. And I really vibe with that.

Tbh I don’t need perfect or easy. It’s home brew decentralized version of reddit. I can deal. But I understand your concerns and agree with all of them, but I’m just kind of enjoying the journey and viewing it as it’s own experience.
