Off My Chest@lemmy.world•Fuck the mods of r/freecompliments and r/trueoffmychest tooEnglish
13·2 years agoUPDATE: I just created !freecompliments@lemm.ee! I couldn’t create it on lemmy.world, sorry. Lemmy World can be weird like that. But at least lemm.ee is stable!
Edit: I would also like to say that after looking at r/freecompliments, their rules are over-explained TL;DR stuff and I get the vibe that they are overly controlling, enforcing a toxic level of positivity at all costs, and all that.
Edit 2: What sucks is I made this new banner for it, but lemm.ee has never let me upload images, even profile pics or banners.

71·2 years agoI tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don’t allow ‘anger’ or ‘impersonal’ posts and that got quietly removed immediately
Okay, yeah, and this is why I’m happy I created this community. “Toxic positivity”, “extreme safe spaces”, and tangential mentalities are extremely harmful and suffocating and can die in a fire.
- People get angry, and that’s fine
- Nobody’s perfect, and that’s fine
- Bonus: Nobody should be able to ban you based on what other subreddits/communities you’re a part of. I guess unless they’re politically-insidious, hate groups, or otherwise promoting harm? But yeah

[Closed] Moved to !harrypotter@literature.cafe@lemmy.world•Downvote me all you want, but I have to complain. Most bad things in the series would never happen— especially to Harry— if people just talked, explained, or defended themselves like human beings.English
1·2 years agoNobody ever explained anything more than the likes of “Voldemort’s back! You have to believe me!” If anyone actually gave account or explained anything at all, the good guys would have a lot more allies than they do. Hell, actually talking is how they convinced a bunch of people to let Harry teach them dark arts defense in Order of the Phoenix. It seems that actually talking is how every good event happens, and that not talking is how every bad event happens.

11·2 years agoIt’s FOSS. I’d imagine people would fork it, because fuck it

268·2 years agoLinux doesn’t work for most people, and Windows and Mac are corporate. I hope ReactOS succeeds.

1·2 years agoHey look, there it is again in the one I’m at now. Hermoine to Potter: “What’s wrong with your hand?” Potter: “Nothing.” (This was the Dolores torture). Hermoine actually finds out, which is refreshing. “You’ve got to tell Dumbledore.” Harry: “No. Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now.” Freaking stupid, Harry.
This “is anything happening?” “No, nothing.” exchange with Potter is constant in this series.

5·2 years agoI hope so, but frankly we’ll just have to see. The people with the money and power usually win.
Fun statement and all, but he clearly understood what humans wanted and needed. He just didn’t factor in that imperfect humans wouldn’t accept a society and life that were somehow perfect in spite of said humans. They en masse knew something felt off.
I think you a word there.

1·2 years agoYou keep saying SPD and I keep wondering how Space Patrol Delta sunk so low. It’s no wonder the top of the force turned evil and the B-team Power Rangers became the heroes we needed to stop them.
There’s nothing socialist about China.
