  • The people at !wholesome@reddthat.com and !nicememes@sopuli.xyz and !thelittlethings@lemmy.cafe would probably like to know about this. !thelittlethings seems to overlap in intent too, although it does not seem very active from what I see on my instance, so you might want to message the mod. Thanks, I really appreciate positivity communities.

    Joy is resisting, especially if you are vulnerable to doomscrolling bad news about how people are treating folks like yourself without humanity, how you are going to be in the firing line next… if you are happy instead of constantly miserable from people treating you as lesser, that's definitely not the will of certain powers that be. Examples of happy people who are like yourself are necessary too. Especially ones you can meet in your community instead of them being some story you read online, so you know it's an achievable possibility for you too, not someone on the other side of the planet. Also, it means you are giving your time to yourself and your joy instead of endlessly getting stuck in distressing news loops and doing a tiny bit of enriching others via ad dollars.

  • Birthdays and the like used to feel inherently special as a kid, as an adult no longer and it just feels like another day. But I still like to celebrate because it's a nice excuse to see people I care about or treat myself to something nice, or to just relax. I don't believe we should always do things just because that is what is done, but this is one place I'm happy to just do things because the rest of society does and thinks I "should." We get something nice out of it, and those who are not interested in celebrating are free to opt out (which I've done a few times too, and didn't regret it.)

    For example, I don't think Valentine's Day itself is all that important, but it's a good reminder to pay attention to your loved ones and spend time with them, and because it is enough of a societal thing there are things done (think a couples' dinner special at a restaurant or something) to help you do just that. So a lot of people do celebrate on the day. Some will celebrate on a different day to avoid higher prices on the day of the usual celebration. Some will totally disregard.

    But that's just me. It might be different for others.

  • I agree. I want to see positivity, not general anything (which could also include rants or complaining, lots of negativity). I respect the effort to consolidate communities to ensure you have more active communities and not just dead communities after awhile, but I do not think that is the right move here.

  • Onions make you cry

    Jump

  • Chopping onions with my glasses on results in a smaller amount of tears and eye stinging than with my glasses off. So unironically this. Glasses acting as a tiny localized facemask/makeshift eye protection.

  • Mistranslation Porn

    Jump

  • As a certified "Reddit wasn't so bad actually" person, as someone who wishes society weren't so prudish, I still wish we left the NonsexualtopicPorn naming convention behind.

    Adding extra NSFW to a title for things that are not actually NSFW does not seem like a good idea to me. Tells people who are not in the know about the naming convention and who do not have a sexual interest in Nonsexualtopic that the space is not for them, shrinking the audience. Don't have to be a prude, just a newbie, to see "MistranslationPorn" and think "cool for people who have a fetish for mistranslation, but even though mistranslation is a cool topic I'm not interested in it as kink or a sexualized version of it, time to scroll by". Also looks bad for browsing where people might see, and then having to explain "no it's not porn porn, it's just a silly naming convention"…

  • The question is where do you draw the line? I'm sure that in Victorian times, something like sex with the lights on or anything not heterosexual is

    the honestly disgusting and insane things that get published

    and

    literary depravity

    I think a better question is how do we prevent people from getting hurt in real life, not what do you personally find disgusting. I personally cannot watch horror, pimple-popping, even had to look away during some action movies because I think the injury shown in these is disgusting, I actually have a pretty visceral reaction to it, but I don't argue for these things that will live rent-free in my head in a negative way to stop existing for everyone. I just don't consume it, and ask people to tag content appropriately if I see it untagged. But of course, if you injure a person in real life and not just on film or a book, then by all means throw the book at them.

    I do get your discomfort with seeing things in public. I wouldn't want the shot of the slasher in the middle of violently killing someone on the public ad. I think if it's got a visual component do not show it in public, but if it's text you are probably too close to the other person's book/phone—I don't try to snoop on strangers in public and still sometimes see what is on their phones, but I don't look long enough to read.

  • My naive understanding of things says this is what construction companies are for. Pay the one that does the best work the fastest. It already exists, just not in publicized easy-to-judge ways. Of course, perverse incentives and corruption as well as just "work expands to fill the time allotted" and genuine roadblocks in progress and complex stuff I do not 100% know because I do not work at a construction company but am vaguely aware exists because of adult cynicism plays a part too…

  • On one hand I definitely respect where you are coming from. "Too political" is frequently wielded at the oppressed by oppressors; "two genders, male and political" and all that.

    On another hand, as a queer, neurodivergent person of color I don't handle the constant aggression and "another bad thing happened because of a country's government, or a political party" posts well. I get paralyzed into inaction. Fediverse "apolitical" communities, at least in my experience, tend to be safe spaces for people like me without bigotry. I'm far from the most oppressed person on earth or even the USA, but I do think I am correct when I say that sometimes, some oppressed people want a break from constantly thinking about and reading about their oppression. If I don't aggressively curate my feed on the Fediverse and instead take what is hot and popular, it is going to be chock-full of people arguing about politics (specifically in the sense of big actions and policies taken by governments). So I curate, avoid these posts, and find enough energy to take political action in real life instead of scrolling thinkpieces on why this political happening happened for hours online. If there were no spaces free of that specific kind of politics (that yes, also made the political choice of removing bigoted posts and comments), I'd probably eventually just be chased off the internet entirely.

    But yet again, this could be my own specific perspective talking and other people do feel silenced and suppressed, so…

  • Hey! !NiceMemes@sopuli.xyz is supposed to be a memes community without the depressing "lol i have crippling mental health issues and cannot afford meds or some other common depressing problem lol" memes or outraging politics memes being allowed). I figure the intent of removing outraging politics might be similar between this community and that one, perhaps you would want to link each other in sidebars?
