Basically the title. Wondering how to deal with duplicate forums from different instances.

Oof. Hard to say. I did it for so long and so early in life that I’m not even sure what would have happened had I not done it.

I don’t like mental meds though. And I don’t think any of them ever helped me. They have always either made me extremely risky behavior prone or just numb where the days blend together and months go by in the blink of an eye.

I was still a kid. At my first session I opened up hard. I spoke nonstop for the whole hour.

When I was walking out I asked them “now what?” And they replied “Now it’s a long battle”.

That stuck with me.

People have answered most questions. The gaming thing is a total lie though.

Some specific games will work kinda okay. The vast majority will work worse. And a good chunk of super popular games won’t work at all. Just dual boot and keep gaming on windows.

People in here straight up lie to push for Linux when it’s really not necessary. It’s great at what it does. And it’s improving in what it doesn’t.

Flatpaks are problematic enough on its own and I avoid them when at all possible.

I’d never want to make my whole system flatpak based. That’s the opposite of what I want.

What are we going to do about it?

Quit whining about it and make a good community outside of those.

Be a good community member yourself.

I see myself coming less and less to Lemmy due to how monotopic this place is. And how aggressively stupid people here can be.

 

I've been using one but I'm not sure what benefits I'm getting from it. I feel like the only thing happening is I'm adding a little bit of latency to all my requests for no reason.

 

Since Lemmy is federated, and the admins of each instance choose what’s allowed and what’s not in their own instance.

How do you feel about what’s allowed and what’s not in your current instance ?

I’ll start: I’ve read people complaining about my instance admins, but I haven’t experienced nor seen anything I specifically disagree with.

And I’ve read things they wrote that I absolutely agree with, like not federating with Meta under any circumstances.

So for now, I’m happy with it. If I get banned randomly, I don’t think I’d go to a different instance, though. I’d probably just stop visiting Lemmy altogether.

 

I love the idea of trying Debian but every time I try to ditch Arch for it I end up just giving up after not being able to find all the packages I need in the repos.

How do you guys deal with that? I’m not even talking about them being out of date. I’m talking about them missing altogether.
