also, one of the people on the team infamously went against a woman talking about her husband being ICED. if you search around it's fairly easy to find.

I don't think the site is but the people who own it are.

I think this is a good use case for AI and Impressed with it. wish the instructions were more clear how to set up though.

Why? was there high demand to talk with ICE supporters?

someone personally made it their mission to relentlessly belittle me for five straight years to the point it escalated into me having to get law enforcement involved as they physically showed up to a place I frequented. every singular thing I possibly could have done made it significantly worse, and this comic (among other weird Twitter adjacent artists who seemingly hate their fans for some reason) is essentially a rich guy telling other people they shouldn't let comments get to them in the most snobby way possible.

People like me don't really have an opportunity to make friends because of various mental issues and extreme sensitivity due to other issues. I don't know this guy besides seeing a post he liked online which was essentially a artist saying they hate their fans (???), I dunno who he is as a person.

but I think it takes an insanely delusional type of person as to where it's a personal fault you don't want to face sexist and disgusting comments online. We should be striving for change. People online in the early 2000s were fucking insanely racist towards Asian people and still are in smaller circles. that's actual harassment, not just mean comments. typically when people say they're reading mean comments it's usually diabolical shit.

this reminds me I remember once my dad tried applying for a aircraft mechanic position and he was extremely weirded out as they proceeded to ask him nothing but questions related to marketing, how he would sell a pen, etc. Then it started getting jnto extremely weird territory. stuff like "would you ever consider stealing from your boss? have you ever killed someone?" he eventually just asked what was the position he was being interviewed for as he was told thus was a mechanic position and the questions were making him extremely uncomfortable to be divulging.

The woman looked at him weirdly for a minute, said "excuse me a minute" and left. an hour rolled by and he went to the front desk and found that the entire place was empty with the lights shut off at 3:22 PM. he tried calling later and they gave him shit for "being unprofessional by leaving."

He said how was he unprofessional when everyone was fine with packing up and leaving? silence on the other end. they hung up and he was extremely confused. it was a multi million dollar company in the area so it's not like this was some small office.

I stand with Venezuela as an American. our leader is a fascist dictator who deserves nothing but the worst, and everyone who voted for him is equally as bad.

praying for everyone Venezuelan's safety.

Sony: we think it's the gamers fault the game isn't successful.

gamers: hey, can we play it then?

Sony: fuck off

we've thought about this but the documentation isn't user friendly for self hosting. we're generally worried about undesirable people finding it which would not be good.

 

I'm not sure if this is the right place but me and my friend group have lately become privacy conscious and wanted to stop using discord and other types of social media, and only log onto self hosted options that only we can access.

we've eliminated something like Revolt (now named Stoat due to it missing ideal features and the developers being anti-decentralized (as well as being extremely hostile to the userbase noticably...)

Does anyone have any idea what would be an ideal service to use?

I think that's any online community, but reddit is especially bad with their inside jokes and one liners that nobody finds funny. or people blatantly lying.

my favorite one is literally any post where a profession is described, and coincidentally that person with the profession, no matter how ridiculous it is, always finds the post.

 

I'm not going to pretend that early 2000s or 2010 Internet was better, but I recently switched to the fediverse because of the harassment I was receiving online.

I had gotten into a small argument because someone essentially stole the background set dressing for a weird thing they tried to do in their creation, when I pointed it out they responded by going through my post history and telling me that I should have committed suicide.

when I responded it was childish to go through my post history because of an argument, someone completely unrelated sent an image of a child's skull split open and they were very obviously dead, just in an attempt to get a rise out of me.

like, I dunno, I feel like when I was younger people would either just call each other names and then leave it at that or complain about it night and day, but it wouldn't ever progress to the point that people would just outright post gore in my messages.

am I alone in feeling that over the past 8 years people have gotten a lot meaner online?
