no, if you had the ability to create one and chose not to.
also no, if you didn’t have the ability, realize that and start working at the reasons why. (in my case it turned out to be autism).

i’m on the spectrum too and one of the things that life has taught me the hard way is not to take life advice from neurotypicals; it’s not that they’re wrong or malicious, it’s only that they don’t have a life that’s anything like yours so their advice usually doesn’t work or it’s not applicable.
neurodivergence requires you to build your own mechanisms for handling the shit life throws at you and it also guarantees that you’ll fail more often than not if you don’t get professionally trained help; what you’re feeling will keep happening until you do get that help.
put that healthcare you got to use.
the people on the american side mostly didn’t; while a significant portion, but still a minority, of the people on the mexican side did not.
Np and I can see that you’ve gotten an introduction to the political culture war that’s being waged on lemmy (assuming you weren’t already aware). Lol
One more piece of info that I wished someone had given me when I first started is that a huge majority of lemmings are cool; but there are significantly more center-right users than leftist users so you’ll see more of the vitriol you witnessed in this post coming from the center-right instances like lemmy.world and lem.ee, but the leftists are a scrappy bunch so they’ll respond in kind and mostly from hexbear; hence the defederations.
People frown upon lemmy.world because it’s a politically American center-right instance on a leftist social media platform that bans leftist discourse via defederation.
If your politics align w them and you don’t mind them deciding what you can and can’t see on your behalf, you’ll do fine there.
I switched from lemmy.world because of that and switched to an instance that doesn’t make a habit of defederating from the most active instances (ie hexbear) and there’s also another center-right instance named lemm.ee that also doesn’t defederate.
There’s a strong chance he’d enjoy it; so maybe it’s best not to just to spite him. Lol
do you know where i can find remotes and secrets?
Have you given up on lemmy? Lol
This.
The leftist instances have a good mix of leftists and liberals that are brave enough to do what they’re told not to do.
the former is always confused for the latter; especially on lemmy.
I can speak on immigrants from Central America because we sponsored 7 families (aunts & uncles) growing up and I ended up going to school w my cousins who didn’t speak English.
They did REALLY well in science, math, physics, biology, history & sociology because the schools that they came from had significantly higher standards, so they coasted until the American students caught up to them years later; but did poorly w literature, English, social studies, & civics for obvious reasons. (I grew up in small town USA and the racist teachers tried to fail some of them, but couldn’t since their excellent grades in the hard sciences made up for their failure grades in the soft sciences). (They also got into more fights at school by the racist bullies).
They were young enough so that they were completely fluent in English by the time they graduated high school and I hope that I likewise can become fluent in Spanish when I emigrate after the American fascists ruin everything.
It is for hexbear since it means that others whose post there aren’t counted if their primary instance isn’t hexbear
and it also doesn’t include the people who aren’t on hexbear; but still posting there.
In the case of “frequently defederated”? Or in General?
both. lol
i think it’s a symptom of the sensibilities of genz clashing with older generations; sort of like millennials clashing with boomers but at a MUCH more significant degree.
Looking at FediDB (which seems a little broken), it seems like Lemmy.World is tripling their monthly posts.
you can see how well above it’s weight hexbear is punching when it comes to active users; communities like slop, badposting, and chapotraphouse in particular.
i suspect that hexbear is the most active instance on lemmy by far; but if it wont be good for you if you can’t handle genz/gena sensibilities or are not atleast vehemently anti-capitalist.
opinions like this are the reason why it has coalesced into most active trans safe spaces on lemmy, it’s the furthest place away from shit takes like these due to defederation; the majority once again pushes vulnerable people into the margins of society where they then flourish.
and only one of the app stores brought back tiktok despite trump’s executive order saying that it’s okay now.
when it comes to profits & finance, they’re very easily spooked and will go out of their way to ensure that they don’t lose $$$; points 3 & 4 are in service to $$$ based on how they interpet the law, just like the app stores.
it’s best to ask trans people: hexbear has the largest trans communities and i would ask there.
i can understand your confusion: actions speak louder than words; so break it down based on what they did (not what they said) to make it make sense:
masking is an extremely common coping technique that neurodivergents teach themselves and, yes, also exhausting. (and i would dm’ but i don’t mind sharing it here).
i’ve gotten several forms of help; but the most useful was talk therapy. i had to try with multiple different psychologists until i learned that they’re not all the same and all of them are human beings with their own human foibles; so you’ll have to actively listen and analyze your therapist as much as they’re training to analyze you. the worst help i got were from psychiatrists who focused on pushed medications that were mere bandages for the problems i had.
