How many communities do you have blocked?
  • Sure! Your reasons are valid and I'm not asking you to defend them.

    I certainly don't like everything in any of those categories either. I've got slices I'm into, but yeah, the broad categories are def part of my interests.

  • How many communities do you have blocked?
  • Blocking regional communities is one thing, sure.

    I was partially joking, but anime, cartoons, sports, and some tasteful/ethical NSFW are all topics I'm hella interested in but don't get much play here. There's basically no boxing/MMA/basketball/football here.

    Each day i feel too normie for this place

    I'm not into the skinny models that most porn features and a lot of irl porn comes with a host of ethical issues,

  • How many communities do you have blocked?
  • Wait, you're blocking porn, sports, and anime?

    Those are the fun parts...

  • What different things are considered emotionally exhausting?
  • It varies wildly from person to person, and my wife and I work so well as partners cause we have vastly different lists of what we consider exhausting.

    Specifically for me?

    • Well-intentioned but unskilled people who insist on helping but don't have the capacity to do so or the self-awareness to understand when their efforts are counterproductive
    • Talking to my side of the family
    • Checking work emails. Not writing them. Just checking them.
    • Code-switching to talk to white people.
    • Watching shows or reading books I dislike just for the sake of completing them
    • Dealing with zoners in fighting games
    • Lingering in silent spaces.
    • Following recipes.

    Talking to strangers? No issue. High intensity games? Let's do it. Complicated or arduous manual labor? Hell yeah.

  • Why are male social workers so different?
  • "Scaring the hoes" is a catch all term for when the things men enjoy in private or with other men create environments that are inhospitable to women.

    I've always heard it in a comedic context, said with nearly the same tone as when Eustace berates Courage the Cowardly Dog.

  • Why are male social workers so different?
  • Damn, that's fucking awful. What female-centric communities existed? I know what ones my wife follows on Reddit but not their analogues here

    Edit: Nevermind. The Reddit communities i found with analogues here are dead AF. Even the big pooular stereotypical topics like Fashion, cooking, weight loss, wedding planning, cozy games, skincare, hair styles, TV shows, romance books, dating, are all dead here.

    Goddam, Lemmy users literally scared all the women away.

    A real life example of "Stop scaring the hoes"

    I am increasingly unable to take this place seriously.

  • Why are male social workers so different?
  • This makes sense considering who is here, but I would be very interested to see a Lemmy/kbin demographics survey.

  • Why is the /s necessary here as well?
  • Increased rates of neurodivergence on a leftist founded Reddit alternative?

    It's less "venture to guess" and more "I'd bet my life savings on that being true."

    Shit. I'm here with ADHD.

  • euphoria - YouTube
  • diss tracks are a weird balance of "catchy + beat + personal insults" that makes them hard to rate/score outside of context

  • The AMD Radeon RX 8900 XTX was going to be amazing, suggests leak
  • The RDNA 2 vs Ampere generation featured the 6900 XT vs the 3090 in a really competitive showdown.

    The RDNA 3 vs Ada generation sees AMD compete really strongly everywhere except the very very top. The 7900 XTX is cheaper and faster at raster than the 4080 and 4080 Ti in most cases (with worse efficiency and RT), for instance. You can make a competitive argument for either company at each pricing segment except Nvidia below $200 and AMD at the very very top.

    That's a farrrr cry from "the 8700 XT competes with the 5070, but past that there's no AMD card"

    It's reminiscent of the RDNA 1 vs Turing, where the 6700 XT and 2070 were competitive but AMD had no answer for the 2080, let alone the 2080 Ti, except this time it'll be more obvious since they'll be a 5090 as well.

  • Which fediverse software do you use besides Lemmy?
  • Mastodon. The people are kinda weird, in different ways than I am weird, but if I post consistently enough I'll build a community or something. I bounce between there and Twitter cause neither community is 100% satisfying

    MBin, cause I want to be able to access Lemmy without being on Lemmy

  • The AMD Radeon RX 8900 XTX was going to be amazing, suggests leak
  • The issue i think is that it reinforces the belief that Nvidia cards are faster and that AMD cards are cheap/budget,

    AMD cards being just as fast (besides RT) with good/better value is one thing, but AMD being slower is a hard er misconception to unravel

  • Do we have any reasonable/substantive speculation about why they canceled the bigger die in the 8000 series?

  • euphoria - YouTube
  • I think it's hard to formulate a response to this. That man dissected his entire vibe and history and insecurities

  • euphoria - YouTube
  • This? This the shit i was waiting for. Scorched earth, "burn the city down with you in it" typa shit.

    Hell yeah.

    So many bars to deconstruct and analyze

  • What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?
  • That's what i thought you meant. Thanks!

    in my case, the diaspora didn't change me so much as it displaced me.

    Now I'm here and there. Much like Twitter and Masto where i do more content viewing on the legacy site where there's more content, but more posting on the FOSS alternative because of ideological imperative to see it grow even if its content doesn't serve me (yet?)

  • What's changed in lemmy and the fediverse in the past 3 months?
  • Actually, I'm kind of curious:

    What do you mean "because of the nature of the reddit migration?"

  • X-Men Reading order: From HoX/PoX til now?
  • Awesome! Thank you! Now i gotta go back thru my physical/hoopla/libby collection and figure out where i fell off

    What makes everything after the Lives/Deaths of Wolverine worse?

  • Street Fighter 6 - Akuma Gameplay Trailer
  • Hell yeah. Finally some gaming news i care about.

    If you listen closely you can hear every Ryu main preparing to drop him like a hit rock. We'll see if Ken and Luke mains persevere

    He looks scary enough but I'm curious how he'll end up feeling to fight against as a Marisa main.

    They appear to have nailed the vibe/aesthetic though. That new Raging Demon looks excellent.

  • X-Men Reading order: From HoX/PoX til now?

    I was excited for the Krakoa/House of X/Powers of X era of X-Men where they're actually doing well for once instead of living in Hell and fighting to stay alive.

    I eventually fell off near Dawn of X or X of Swords because my attention is limited and fickle but i wanna get back to it and finish it.

    So if i want to read the whole saga, can you help me with the order of the trades, and what, if anything is vital to enjoying or reading the story and may not be in the collected trades?

    Vibe check: What are your impressions and experiences of Lemmy, Kbin, Mbin, and Beehaw?

    Exactly what the title says.

    What has your experience been on any of those platforms? Which captures more of your time? Why?

    I'm relatively new here but I've read a little on the reddit-like platforms. I (mostly) understand what's a fork of what or what some of the technical differences are, but I'm curious about the vibes and communities.
