You don't even have to see it in a sexual way. People like boxing and MMA. Or getting into bar fights for fun. It makes your body release adrenaline and other hormones that give you a natural high.

I love extremely spicy food that almost makes you want to tap out. But I'm Asian so might be cultural

Yep as someone based in Australia I'm also missing AusFinance as the US instance wouldn't even apply to us due to regional differences. Unfortunately Reddit will stay relevant for a long time for niche topics, but I still enjoy Lemmy for everything tech related & memes.

They tend to be more interested in girly fluff topics like skincare, nail art, weddings, jewellery & guru gossip

Feel free to participate

Great, I'll be expecting your participation in /skincare, weddingplanning, engagementrings, kpopthoughts, indiemakeupandmore, ...

The issue is that some of them already have instances, but only 1 sub so I'd be talking to myself all day long

The female userbase is virtually non-existent and until that changes I'm forced to stay on Reddit for relevant news and financial advice.

I hate the amount of people telling me to just start my own sub when I mention that I miss Reddit's variety. As if it was piss easy to get a whole community rolling by yourself

How so? Also Spotify Premium at $13/mo when there's a free version supported by ads

I bet half the people pretending Sync to be some malicious spyware have set Chrome as their default browser

$20 to get rid of ads forever on an app that you use daily is a fair price. No one gets lynched for subscribing to YouTube premium for $14/mo just to get rid of ads

Switch 2 OLED coming in 2028

And people still think Sync is overhyped. This is pure awesomeness

People act like they're being forced to use Sync when there are decent alternatives. Sync just happens to currently have the best layout/user interface with tons of customisation.

Whether or not that's worth paying money for is up to each individual but I can't stand the constant complaining. Either deal with ads or don't use it if you don't like it 👍

Pretty good. My mum's living in Shanghai (most populous city in China) and has been a pensioner for 20 years. It's enough money to get by and now that she's 70 she also receives monthly coupons for her neighbourhood canteen (although food is already very cheap)
