False choice fallacy. Those are not the only two choices. We can look for ways for lemmy itself to help resolve the issue.

If you have to ask...

[-] hamsteronvase 1 points 1 year ago

I would suggest an FAQ for newbies, since so many are flooding in (like me). Too big a burden for a few sysadmins or mods, so I would suggest you crowd-source it. If Lemmy has wiki-like capabilities, you could use those. Or as a last resort, you could use the actual en.wikipedia.org. This is my first day here, and I've read tons but I feel as though I'm lost and without a map.

Would probably be a lonnnnng job for an SDF instance owner to write. However! Such things often do well when crowd-sourced. If Lemmy has wiki-like capabilities, we could all pool our knowledge there. (Mine is meager because I'm brand new, but still) If nothing else, we could use the existing en.wikipedia.org to collectively create the document there.

Wild pointer detected, system crash

Not that it matters much now that we have a substitute, but of course the point is money. reddit wants to become a walled garden where the product (you) Is sold and you can use only their clients to visit reddit. We are slipping through their fingers.

I'm sorry to hear you're that depressed and the future looks so dark. I was once exactly where you are, and had been for decades. If your therapist can put you on something to quell anxiety, use that opportunity to try baby steps that feel safe and mingle with the humans. Maybe a cooking class, or a trail hiking group; the focus is not on conversation but you can practice little by little. You will fail, but they'll be small failures, and eventually you will get a win. You can even discuss and craft the plan with your therapist and come back next week to talk about how the meetup / interest group / class went. Another thing, be very selective about whom you call 'friend'. Don't connect with people who don't build you up. There -is- a way out, and you can proceed safely at your own pace. Bestest of luck.

Best IRL name I've seen today

I'm thinking of switching from php / node to golang for the server side. Did you have any good experiences with any gratis self-paced online 'schools'?
