How is your week going?

☺️ hopeful
Good but I have a cold right now and when I woke up I felt like my lips were gonna crumble through breathing through my mouth all night… I have a really good immune system so colds typically last only around 4-5 days though!
Get well soonest!
Thank you!! ❤️
Are you sure it's a cold? It doesn't sound like one.
Pretty sure since there's no pollen here atm but I'm congested and have a headache... and I was around someone who had a cold. Every time I have a cold it's like this
It's really great! I just joined LEMM today and I'm still getting to know it.
Welcome to Lemmy, here are a few pointers to help you settle in
grateful for it
Welcome! I've been here for a little over a month and having a good time.
Also I'm completely avoiding political posts - use the built in filtering system in whatever app you're using to block common annoying post words. For me that was certain political figures names for example.
What brings you here?
I can tell from your words that you are a wise person. I strongly agree that we should reduce reading and discussing political content, because we should focus more on the things around us and concentrate on our own lives. Do you still remember the original intention of the invention of the Internet? It was designed to enable us to acquire knowledge more quickly or find joy more easily. Instead of what it is like nowadays, people just end up being "chumps" when they go online, with all sorts of negative energy, the spreading of rumors, smearing, prejudice, discrimination, and hatred.

RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.
