So I decided to go to sopuli.xyz. Viewing their all/hot is not much different than what I have now. However Sopuli is closer to what I expected .ml to be. There are some instances with zero defederations (completely unsensored), but I’m happy not seeing porn, discrimination, or ads in their feed. @Oka@sopuli.xyz

I have noticed the high level of political memes and threads and don’t care for it. I didn’t understand why they were so common, I thought we were all trying to get away from politics.

I will try a different instance and report back.

I hear you. When I first joined .ml, they were pressing for people NOT to join it. To create their own instances so that .ml didn’t become a central entity, and get overwhelmed with users. The latter did occur during the reddit exodus.

I also agree that they can curate and manipulate the instance to their ideals, which will limit casual users and their reach.

I don’t feel like I’m being secluded, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t happening. I have seen hate for .ml users and hexbear users, and I really don’t get it. The fediverse shouldn’t be segregating users based on what instance they’re in. That’s like saying all US citizens are awful because they live there.

That’s a cool take on it. I feel like I just haven’t found a solid hobby that’s fun to me. I’ve tried several, the only things that have partially stuck are video games, programming, and DND, but they still feel like a chore to keep learning.

I’m exactly the same. Hobbies just don’t stick, and I can’t commit to the grind of getting better at them.

Have you been diagnosed with adhd by chance? I haven’t, but I suspect it’s one symptom.

The views of .ml mods have not affected me. I don’t really check my subscription feed, only /all or /top->day, therefor im still exposed to all those other communities.

The only instances that I’ve noticed are missing are porn related, and as an asexual, I don’t have an interest in them. If I did, I could just visit a different site, like pornhub or w/e

Not all .ml users are tankies, or communist, or foss enthusiasts. I’m just a guy who likes memes and tech

What I meant by opposite was that I had a bad time after getting glasses, not a better ti.e like the others. It was a miscommunication on my part.

I had the opposite reaction. When i got a prescription, I went from 1080p to 4k. I could see and read just fine, but I can’t see fine details.

Then I could see all the pores and blemishes on people’s faces, and it was kinda frightening. For someone to see that their whole life, it’s probably normal, but for me, it’s like people were wearing uncanny masks, and I couldn’t get used to it.

Also, glasses gave me a headache like no other.

Plagiarized? No, not intentionally. I’ve only learned the rules for DnD, an Aliens TTRPG, and a D10 based homebrew TTRPG. Day Zero is D20 based, inspired by DND. The main difference that I added is “Mood” which can boost or hinder your checks. Also, stat bonuses aren’t derived from one number (12) to another number (+1). They are a straight bonus. (3 stat points is +3)

I would say they’re unisex and just pick one.

“That makes it free, right?”

Warrior!

You might incredible strength, and you can probably pwn somebody’s face.

But you are worthless without a priest, you are destined to raid for all your life.

I’ve listened to this so many times since I first heard it in 2019. All I wanna know is the fella’s name on first base.

Fuck you Shoresy

So you’re voting both then, I see.
