No they’re Chinese now

truuu

ya thats my problem too. at least an 1.5 hr drive one way to get to “shops” that are not ace hardware or safeway. i live in a town of about 2k up a steep mountain pass. i would love to ditch amazon but its really really hard to

oh i thought cuz you were mad about their unlimited breaks that was a factor for you

sounds like the amount of breaks for them dont matter then, its just that they’re stinky. which is fair. but you can get the breaks just the same if you wanted. maybe getting out for some fresh air would be good for you

what did i miss?

take a break when the smokers do. just go outside. who says you dont smoke?

go outside for a break then. who says youre not a smoker?

bro its brutal in these streets

that sucks

i think in some ways the zuck, while lacking of morals, is a true believer of, like, living on the web

its insane the amount of money and time has been dumped into the meta verse. i think he would do more if he could justify it

and when pointed out people are like “thats just the way the world works” and it makes me want to die

that is really fkn funny

its convenience

reddit has become too easy so people dont care i guess

i dunno man, its wild to me

its the little heart at the top of at least lemmy.world

dude i feel that. its just lame and hard to grip with

its like i wish almost that i didnt care

whats really funny sad to me is how mods get no real respect right now or maybe ever

like are some mods lame, sure, but its a super thankless job that i dont think gets enough cred and thats the part that i think has disappointed me the most. mods are super needed online, and its a shame some people cannot see that

ok bud sure. hope your day gets better

thank you! but the sarcasm is not really becoming

i think im being quite reasonable, which i dont understand how you cant acknowledge that?

i feel gaslighted tbh, why are you trying to make me feel like im offended? i am certainly not but you keep insisting im upset

and if people disagreeing with you is enough to leave, then maybe social media isint for you, and thats super ok. i dont want you too but i cant force anyone to stay, just like the i cant force beehaw

can you not validate the way i feel, acknowledge some of my points as being real?

well i still dont see disrespect or invalidation of they way you feel, unless defederation makes you question what is real around you, which i guess i assumed you didnt feel “crazy or insane” due to people disagreeing with you

and did you even read that thread? this is what you replied to that i saw

right? it wasn’t anywhere near a big deal or an insult to other instances it’s “we don’t have the resources to handle any possible bad actors from big instances with loose >registration requirements, so we’re defederating from them until we feel that we can handle it”

the correct response to this is “oh, okay; hope they figure it out such that they can federate with us again in the future”; people are blowing this out of proportion

how was that gaslighting or disrespectful to the way you felt about it. where am i being disrespectful, outside of disagreeing with you?

Edit: furthermore aren’t you doin the same thing

a reply of yours further down

I don’t believe you to be honest. I haven’t seen any hostility towards beehaw admins, or any toxicity whatsoever on the fediverse at all, whether lemmy.world or otherwise. You claim that the only thing you see is people being extremely hostile. So where are they?

are you not, by your definition gaslighting them?

quote me

i never said that at all. i have done nothing but respect you and your feelings about this matter, while giving you my quite reasonable take

how am i being invalidating and disrespectful?

you are upset, thats ok! i dont think thats invalidating. you get to feel however you want, it is annoying that day 2 of my being here there is already some drama

i just dont agree thats its something to be that upset about or to the severity of the problem

its not blackmail, its not gaslighting, nor emotional manipulation

i just dont agree with the opinions you have stated
