I see a lot of people saying online that "forums are dying off because of discord and reddit"

yet other people reply: "Well, I'm still using my forum/IRC."

So I have to ask, what forums that are decently big still exist? Only one I can think of is Nomutantsallowed for fallout related content.

so in a series of fuck ups a family member took my main phone and decided to flash something on it. said family member neglected to back up the boot.img or whatever file? the phone physically will not shut off. it keeps boot looping itself back on.

I have to have this as my old phone is busted and I really can't go and buy another one.

really interesting. what's the reason why?

what's harmony OS?

probably that the majority of people are self serving and extremely fake. it's pretty insane how many "activists" there are that hate the people they supposedly want to protect.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask but I need more general recommendations.

I had this as a mindset too until recently. I think what helped me move was realizing that interacting with Reddit was incredibly low stakes and I was only going there for hobby and community reasons.

until I sort of realized that the negative outways the positive. it sort of happened recently where I was a mod of a subreddit and people kept acting like idiots after I took a break from the role, and I realized "realistically, nobody will ever actually give a shit about my efforts here." and I took one look and left. I don't really think I lost anything by leaving besides my year old account and 20k karma but, it's superficial at the end of the day.

I posted a few weeks ago about how I didn't feel like quitting reddit just yet. and, honestly, I still have a hard time not opening my phone every five minutes to check it.

but I decided to quit because I realized how much of a negative echo chamber it was. I couldn't even mute certain words on the reddit app so I had to keep seeing the same shit over and over again in the popular feed.

it'll be a long road moving from one platform to another, but I'm pretty satisfied not being strangled by reddit's overwhelming snark and negativity.

dunno if anyone here feels a similar way, but felt like sharing my thoughts.

was this written with chatgpt or was your account hacked?

I'm not really sure why you're bringing this up again, either, as it seems like you already accepted this two months ago. https://kbin.earth/m/fediverse@lemmy.world/t/675872/-/comment/3762401

the fact new horizons sold that well yet stopped receiving support saddens me.

good morning! what do you plan to do today?

[-] Inf_V@kbin.earth 14 points 5 months ago

if I wasn't a mod of a subreddit I'd consider deleting it entirely. definitely going to limit my use permanently after reading this, Fuck Elon.

"When I noticed this happening, I messaged the server's admin. At the time, I was using the cutefunny.art homeserver. Here's what he told me:

"I can understand how it feels a little intrusive, but it doesn't invade on peoples privacy, private conversations stay private."

what the fuck lol?
