RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW

Gotcha. I'm quite new myself. I got banned from reddit, and needed a new site to doom scroll lmao.
Would you consider yourself terminally online?
What did you do to get yourself banned? lol Myself, I go through phases where I spend tons of time online or as little as possible. Right now? Terminally online.
Basically, a group of black users were being racist to white individuals by making a bunch of generalizations, so i wanted to point out the hypocrisy by making an obviously racist generalization of my own. I commented, "All black people are disgusting", and was rightfully called out, but the irony was that they were doing something pretty similar calling white people colonizers and other things like that.
The result? I got mass reported and banned, and due to Reddit's inability to identify nuance in comments, my appeals were all for naught.
Anyways, what kind of life allows you the luxury of being terminally online when you choose lmao?
The Myth of Reverse Racism
I simply pick and choose when I want to be sociable outside. My friend group is understanding when I say I need a break to recharge.
So how long will you be in Nigeria?
That introverted lifestyle. I like it
I'll be in Nigeria till I'm done with university. After that, maybe i might return to the U.K. I still have to figure out what to do with my psychology degree.
Nice, good luck with your studies!
Thanks. Now let me guess your age. From my analyses, i think you're: 27
Close! I won't say exactly, but you're not terribly far off!
🤦 That makes me feel like i was quite far off. Thanks for playing anyways
Haha no it means you were close 🙂 thanks! It was a fun game!
