That is really helpful. Thank you for posting!

Dunno why he didn’t link sex forums. I am sure there are some nice ones out there!

Is this really the case? I find this unexpected. Lemmy seems to be friendly to the LGBTQ people, namely trans.

If what you say is true, we should probably address it somehow.

Fantastic! New people (and old as well), please give to the community! Post and/or comment as much as possible, to make Lemmy an even better place!

You can do so by just regularly commenting and/or posting, but also by creating new communities and bringing some activity to inactive ones!

Welcome! Please create content, both by posting and commenting!

Pay attention to her “bids for connection”. When she asks something, even if it is something simple, such as a request to look at a meme on the phone, try to accept the bid and do look at her meme.

Also, why not just ask her? “Hey sis, I see that you are unhappy with the way I treat you. I am sorry, I will try to do better. Can you tell me what it is that you want me to do more?”

Look to whom you are giving the money. That is a very important part of the whole story.

You could have made a better choice, I suppose. And some authors/editors do deserve the money.

Pirating is not necessarily resisting. Are you taking money from authors who really really need it? Or are you taking money from rich CEOs who are worsening the environment, ruining future generations, slaving, etc?

Interesting that you don’t recommend Kobo Color. I was thinking of gifting my mother a kobo but I might just go for a BW version.

resist.

Stop buying whatever it is that Amazon/Meta/Google/Etc sell. They will not stand for you. They will not respect you.

At some points, it may seem like they changed and that they are now good. They are not. They will never be. Resist them.
