I'm pretty sure the stance valve takes is "if it is legal, it will stay up", but please correct me if I'm wrong.

outlaw these hate symbols and maybe we will see change, much like Germany does with nazi symbols. I wonder why they won't do that. hmm....................

I have a mini iPad in my pocket when I want a bigger screen and finally have a phone I can use with one hand. I can't go back lol

I do a combination of new, active, hot. mostly just sort by new since the other options are iffy on the sync client, its not like there are so many posts to sift through when I surf using new lol

I use Lemmy and YouTube. when Lemmy content dries up, I watch a couple of things on YouTube before I begin doing something productive

rather than an empty, performative stunt.

looks to me both parties are enjoying themselves in the photo, doesn't look empty or performative at all. if Dave Coulier was cool with it, thats all that matters imo

ai music is so soulless, just take a listen to any of it. spotify users have to wake up and jump ship. don't reward them with this bullshit by giving them money.

we have to start voting with our wallets to fight back against nonsense like this

this is a great question. for me, it would be going to bed at a responsible time.

I actually had that thought yesterday. my younger self would be so sad about me cutting out precious video game time, but I literally can't focus on my job if I get tired halfway through the day.

but my younger self would not understand how lucky my life currently is, and that "sacrifices" need to be made to do the best that I can in life since many people do not have the opportunities I have. I got very lucky.

as someone who made their own instance, talk about it to family and friends and try to convince them to jump on mine, I definitely have not given up. your completely valid talking points are null and void unfortuntately, my social circles are unable to get people they interact with to jump ship as well. they just want their family and friends to see their posts and don't really care what's going on behind the scenes..

Its me trying to convert people to use signal all over again, but i won over many of my colleagues and family by telling them to jump on signal as my birthday gift years ago..... maybe I'll have people sign up as a Christmas gift for me this year lol

give up social media? nah that's too hard for people lol.

I would say... yes! you never know who you are really talking to, so I would never take anything personal someone says to me online, no matter what was said to me.

these are just words on a sceen that can be written by someone who is unwell mentally, as normal people don't bring other people down during a discussion.

it takes awhile to get used to this, but once you do, the good conversations you have online will (hopefully) outshine the bad ones. good luck!
