All countries are a few steps away from this type of shit. Nation states may have been a good departure from monarchies but have very much proven to be trash; the “cultures” and “ethnicities”, etc. they proclaim to protect seem very much to be bullshit money-making schemes at best. A serious shift away from vertical economic and social hierarchies is the only solution. But deprogramming the world is not going to be easy.

Tried Sync, Liftoff, Connect and Lemmotif (I think that’s all the free ones on the playstore as of August '23), and I am always preferring Jerboa.

Ayran.

I’m not arguing for anything. Just saying what I see.

Democracy is a lie. It cannot work under conservatism. It does not work within a capitalist economy. It does not work in a vertical hierarchy. People do not function as people in a vertical hierarchy. Of course Brexit failed, just like the British Empire, and just like every single political entity ever has and will fail. Even if they seem to succeed for a while, they will always fail, and they will always fail humanity.

Our socioeconomic structures are not so different from any other animal’s. Though the answer is right there in front of us, our emotionally manipulated, fearful existences have trapped us in these ridiculous concepts and arguments.

If we want people to be human and not scared and trapped animals, we have to take away the thing that keeps us animalistic, which is the need to lean on something “greater” than ourselves.

All we currently seem to be are clusters of endless daddy issues; religion, nationalism, success, wealth, value: hierarchies of daddy issues.

Having an early morning swim in the sea every morning for the next few weeks.

Brainwashing, exposure to a single bigoted narrative their whole lives, ignorance and hypocrisy. Europe has a proud history of cryptoracism. The real question is why are Europeans so obsessed with ethnicity? Brainwashing, exposure to a single bigoted narrative their whole lives, ignorance and hypocrisy… ad nauseum. Nationalism (and other emotional manipulations) to drive economy is a global blight.

Sleep brusher!

Ok, after spending a good few minutes selecting and saving every language on the list (there was some odd behaviour with only the visible languages staying selected after you tick them, so if you scrolled the selected languages off the screen without saving settings, they would get deselected), I go back after checking and see every language has been deselected again other than English and Undetermined, and I can still see all the posts and comments. I guess it was only momentary?

That was it! I guess whatever language you have selected when you make your post is the one you need to have selected when you want to see your post or comment again. A bit odd. I, maybe stupidly, just went and selected every single language. I wonder if after I make this comment with every language selected, if I deselect one, will I still be able to see this post?

It’s very strange. I saw the other user’s comment (thanks by the way! though I can’t respond to you anymore), and changed my language to English and Undetermined, and my interface language to English, and I can see all my own posts and previous posts, but for some reason the comments in your posts are completely empty now:

Now another odd thing is happening. I added some languages and I can see my posts, but now the comments on this post have now disappeared for me.

I came here to ask the same thing. I made a community, made a few starter posts and also a lemmy support post, I can see all my comments and can see on my profile that I have made 9 posts all in all, but can’t see any of them (it’s the same on Connect, Jerboa and browser). I can still access posts I have made comments on through the comments on my profile, but they don’t show up either on my profile or on the community I created.

Edit: I also just made a new test post on my own community and that also doesn’t show up anywhere (though it added the post to the total number of posts I made on my profile).

The dry-herb vaping communities haven’t really transitioned very well, and I’m too lazy to get back into proper community building and moderation after having all my accounts permabanned on reddit. For now I am just sticking to the 420vapezone discord.

I wonder if the sex slaves in heaven have souls? Also do they live as virgins until they are of an appropriate age for you? Are they aome sort of magical angel clone? Or clones of humans who have lived before, or are still alive? Or are they bred for that task? Do they just appear when you’re horny? The logistics of god’s brothel is quite funny to think about. I guess they’re some magical hand-wavy entities of some sort. I mean, the same could also be said for god’s park areas. Who does the gardening? Maybe god does all of it. So those 72 virgins are god in a skin suit. Very theological.

I cannot read that and feel how short-sighted it is. The death of online communities due to money sucks. But how about the actual death of physical people and their physical communities due to literally the exact same thing? It seems douchey to complain about capitalism killing message boards and not connect the idea at all to how it has been killing everything on earth since humans became a thing.
