Other responses here are pretty great advice. I just want to add that feeling this way is pretty normal in our modern world.

Our society evolved much faster than our biology. This world isn't very satisfying with respect to the kinds of things our ancestors had to do I order to survive and be part of a group of other people. Most jobs feel unsatisfying because they are.

For example: it feels good to work a physically hard job in the same way exercise feels good, and yet physical work is often looked down upon as though there is no value in it (which is crap), and people who spend lots of time in a gym don't face that same stigma about sweating.

Install Emu Deck and it handles the rest for you in an intuitive GUI

Are you getting the music up there?

I would personally be inclined to take the meeting to better know how to counter their efforts.

I've been experiencing this on my comments too. I specifically kept my account open for now because I figured this might happen, and I want to be able to keep editing and deleting them.

I'd say it's kinda like having a "10-second" car that everyone loves and wants, but then you start ripping out some of the best performance parts and installing inferior parts in their place.

Does the car still run? It does. Is it slowly imploding because you've upset the engine's balance to the point where it's becoming dysfunctional? Also yes.

It's only a matter of time before the pretty paint job no longer hides the garbage under the hood.

Wow. That's especially pathetic of the admins.

I have a friend who tried to get me to join him and his online buddies on every new big multiplayer game. Out of the literally dozens he recommended to me, I bought maybe two, and those two have a great single player campaign.

I've always preferred single player games, and I feel like I don't waste money like I would on whatever the current hot MMO is. MMOs go stale or the community changes, and then you will probably never play it again. Single player games just largely don't go that way and are repayable.

IIRC it's a bug not specific to the Steam Deck, but something to do with the way Linux is handling audio. So the fix then is harder to get implemented since it isn't confined to code that Valve controls. Valve has to wait for the problem to be fixed in the greater Linuxosphere first, but I'm sure they're assisting with it.

So one can tell you that the other is costing you too much.

I very much agree with giving source instances a chance to discipline/ban bad actors. Hopefully this will evolve in that direction. For now the Beehaw admins feel that the right mod tools are not yet available. They have a specific vision for what they want to build, and it is completely up to them how they go about that.

That doesn't mean everyone external has to agree or like their decisions, but it's their house, their rules.

Several of the politically conservative subs would do that to redditors who commented in other subs with opposing ideologies. You didn't even have to comment in the conservative subs to get a ban.

And as petty as I think that is, I still think it is their right to run an unchallenged echo chamber with completely homogeneous opinions. Similarly Lemmy instances are free to federate or defederate as they see fit.
