its clearly making a point targeting an unknown group of people, so you tell me

honestly, who is this targeting? conspiracy theorists?

im not pushing anything on anyone?? this is my opinion and i am allowed to have it, i’m not making any laws. i also agree with the other commenter that there’s no way a relationship between a 30 year old and an 18 year old doesn’t have an unbalanced maturity and power level dynamic. this is my opinion.

huh? it is literally exactly for word what i said, so what are you talking about??

“most hopefully they weren’t irresponsible enough to date a teen, that’d be just as yuck no matter the gender”

also, how am i lecturing you?? i dont even know you or anything about you. you replied to me calling my opinion dismissive and i disagreed, point out the lecturing. and anyway, why is there an issue with how i choose to express my opinion on something controversial, or anything in that matter? you find it dismissive that i think middle aged people dating legal teenagers is gross, okay, why should i care that how i expressed it is apparently dismissive??

i dont get how calling someone that age dating a teen ‘yuck’ is dismissive lol

true, i made an assumption. either way, its yuck to date someone fresh out of HS if you’re 10, 20, 30, 40+ years older. imo there’s no reality where an 18 year old should be dating a 30 year old, even though it is legal

most hopefully they weren’t irresponsible enough to date a teen, that’d be just as yuck no matter the gender

god i wish most men were like this. but there’s 50 yr old men out there dating women fresh out of highschool, yuck

literally this. i see a lot of mods of niche communities working their ass off trying to generate content with 0 help, including me. and all people do is complain that they aren’t doing enough, it’s not active enough, while doing nothing to help it grow.

be the change you want to see. contribute to your communities, especially niche ones.

It does make sense. My friend talks about this alot. It also seems to me from my own experiences ad especially his that everything is made to maximise profit and user experience is the last priority. It’s structured that way in order to guarantee their control over your experience and therefore their profits. Nothing is spontaneous, the charm is gone for most modern games, and so it’s just not as fun as it was ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

i am not able to simply paste images through the clipboard, im forced to open file explorer. nothing happens if i try to paste.

however, this extension works fine (restart firefox after installing and enabling ‘dom.events.asyncClipboard.clipboardItem’ in about:config): https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/clipboard2file/

to me, it was surprising just how easy the fediverse was to understand if i stopped trying to think about it how i was taught to think by centralized platforms.

at first, i was really hesitant to migrate. i was confused by kbin, lemmy, mastodon, and especially the fediverse. i didn’t think i could ever understand it. i wasn’t confident in it. but, after a few hours of exploring, interacting, watching people talk about it and reading explanations, it clicked into place and suddenly made sense, a whole lotta sense. now, i am actually teaching others about what the fediverse is with little to no trouble and helping them migrate to kbin from reddit, and thats amazing. having tons of fun here! 👍

be the change you wanna see in the world
