I’m relatively new to Lemmy: what instance(s) in your (collective) opinion strike that sweet spot between being a) very free speech oriented and minimally censored, but also b) not taken over by alt-right CHUDs, trashed up like 4chan, or hosting CP, gore, and all that nastiness that comes with zero moderation?

What I’m looking for, is just enough moderation to keep out the 4chan shit, but anything below that threshold of actually hurting people, pretty much goes uncensored.

I just want to use the c-word, b-word, and r-word, basically. Like, there are a lot of stories posted involving JD Vance, so…

That’s shocking

I never really saw the point of journaling, so it never “took” for me.

I write a bunch of stuff down, and then what? What do I “do” with it? Do I read it again later? No, I won’t do that. Somebody else reads it? No, it’s not intended for that.

So, I don’t journal as such.

I do organize my tasks and things to remember in a bullet journal (bujo) format, though, and that helps. But it’s less about thoughts and feelings (long-winded opinions and observations), and more about tasks and events (simple and concise one-liner statements of fact).

I do like bujo to keep my work organized.

Ok, on a side note, the idea of a “commonplace” book does sound kind of appealing, though; but I guess my life is too busy to afford me the leisure and luxury of analyzing literature, writing poetry, and sketching natural wonders, or whatever. I’ve got too much shit to do. My few fleeting moments of “free time” are spent here, complaining (wow those naughty word filters are way too strict) about MAGA, basically.

The establishment candidate might not be Harris next time. My point still stands, whoever it turns out to be.

It’s fine to complain, though. We are not a cult. If the establishment candidate wins the primary, we’ll dutifully vote for that candidate in the general, and then complain about that president-elect for the next four-to-eight years, and try to pressure them on the issues that matter to us. And that’s a good thing.

These fucking dorks have ruined Tolkien for me.

There is nothing “shocking” about this.

We already fucking knew what was going on.

Y’know, if America had a constitutional monarchy, it might actually work out just fine. Let Trump be the king, so he can rant, do ceremonial stuff, be in the news all the time, have his fans, cause controversies, &c.… meanwhile the real elected government would be quietly busy attending to the people’s business.

Wow, I didn’t wake up this morning thinking I’d be recruited onto team “Fuck Almonds,” but here we are.

Let’s fucking go.

They made this bed for all of us. Time to sleep in it. We’ve got rice ‘n beans. We can grow potatoes and raise chickens.

If they feel the pain, they may change their ways. If they’re kid-gloved away from the consequences of their own choices, they most certainly will not.

Do not obey in advance.

Humble men are preferable to proud boys.

About goddamned time.

I’m a white middle class cis gender heterosexual person, and I don’t feel safe at all.

Psychedelics have a counterintuitive tendency of making pre-existing clinical narcissism and sociopathy worse.

If we could somehow figure out how to cure Cluster B Personality Disorders, 90% of humanity’s problems would disappear overnight.
