I agree with your outlook 100%. However, beehaw has made themselves a community intentionally to be safe for their like-minded members, which I also understand. It does get tiring to see hate spewed without much reason or direction.

Your point is partially why I stuck with .ml rather than switching over to a different instance. I understand that they also have controversial instances blocked but it's not like I can't see them still.

Rational thought takes a bit of effort for some people and its normally easier to either isolate or congregate.

We don't want them (TD fans) just as much as anybody.

These early stage memes will stay with the platform for as long as we want.

Either a new copy pasta or a real shitpost.

I have issues logging in now too. It just errors and closes the app entirely, haha.

Any idea what that might be about? I've had to resort to using browser for now.

Eeeeeeeeeee I love it!!!! I want to hug every little moth so much

They're totally assholes as caterpillars but they grow up so handsomely :)

You could be what is called a "sex-positive asexual." It basically means how it sounds. It does sound a bit like that, based off your description though.

It's kinda funny. Once you get to experience the act it's kinda like.... "this is it, huh? The pinnacle of human euphoria. Huh." I think that's where it starts for a lot of people. They start to question of they're "broken," or whatever, because they don't share the same admiration of it as their peers. That is how it felt for me anyway.

Only you can tell yourself if you resonate with it, but whatever you decide on, you're welcome here.

The other comments already mentioned this, but I'll just reiterate myself...

Ace doesn't mean being a lone wolf. The only thing it really means is that you experience little to no sexual attraction. You could still be heteromantic, homoromantic, or somewhere in between. For example I'm heteromantic ace. I'm in a "normal-passing" relationship. I have a bf that I've been together with for almost 10 years now. No one would know if they didn't truly know me; and truthfully, no one knows me that well anyway.

It's tough being an ace in the dating pool, I get it. Your own dating pool seems so slim. But even if you don't find another ace to date, that's okay. And not only that but there's also a spectrum of gray ace to explore too.

What you explained in your original post makes me think that there was a slight consideration of aro instead. Aromatic is something a bit different but nevertheless important to understand as well.

Good luck.

I will literally be so upset if lemmy incorporates a karma feature. Such a useless stat that so many people obsessed over.

This might be a hot take but...

Is the interface really that terrible? I feel that if it were as easily accessible aa reddit or even facebook then we would be bombarded with so many brain dead posts by users who don't understand how to get through a computer and therefore the quality of posting and discussion goes way down.

I'm probably wrongly stereotyping and judging here but I had to say it.

There's literally not anything left on reddit that I wish to see anymore. It's all controlled and bloated and designed to keep you addicted and angry. I've been increasingly bored and annoyed with the platform for a while, so this made the transition to lemmy even easier. Honestly, a lot of people are better off without it.

Sadly doing nothing is easier so most people will never be proactive.

I think a lot of it comes down to people who want to have a like minded experience; which can be good and bad. It essentially enforces to them that they're in the right regardless without seeing the big picture. And that can be dangerous.
