We live in a society…….

If someone would have told me this like a couple of years back, back when most people (besides the foss community) didn’t know about it, I deffo wouldn’t have believed you lol.

It’s nice to see some alternatives getting promoted though.

Tbf, people should have moved on from Instagram/Facebook from years ago tbh, esp as there are decent, ethical alternatives out there but as usual, people don’t really care unless it affects them personally or their social rep.

The fact that people are flocking over to RedNote, Lemon8, Tumblr, Bluesky and other platforms, despite them being problematic either due to privacy issues/ceos stances on political issues like trans rights etc or the techbros involve want to destroy the environment, proves the point itself.

The people that are moving out of TikTok etc are literally making no difference to stopping the rise of fascism, besides making themselves feel better about themselves about the whole thing.

Honestlyyyyy and yet when I speak about actually ethical alternatives, ppl then be like nah cba, too difficult, too much effort or too complicated when it only takes five mins or less to make an account and yet these same god damn ppl expect you to always listen to them.

We honestly truly live in a society.

People only want to make a difference if it only gives them good social points, not actual change or things that enable for them to actually think critically and change their viewpoints.

Feels pretty hopeless tbh esp as this is only the beginning of 2025 as well but hey at least there’s some logical people on here (though you do get the occasional dumbass on lemmy/mbin)

Well this gives me a good excuse to never go to Starbucks ever again (even though people shouldn’t be going to Starbucks anyway)

Blah this gets more bleaker day by day…….

Mine’s Mirlo. It’s not owned by a big corporation, plus it’s open source too, with an ability to customise your own artist page, just like bandcamp, alongside being able to help and contribute to independent artists as well.

The fact that the UK were the biggest colonisers in history, has the audacity to say that, just shows how much of a clowny buffoon muskrat really is.

The fact that there’s ppl that are still willing to overlook this, despite the blatant evidence of apartheid and trauma the Palestinians face every single day, honestly makes me so frustrated.

Another reason why the monarchy should not exist

This alongside the British press as well which manipulated certain elements of the situation to make it look like that Jeremy Corbyn was an antisemite, which in turn destroyed his reputation in the Labour Party and the overall general election results back in 2019 cuz unfortunately UK press often plays a huge part of UK politics and influences legalisation thanks to Rupert Murdoch (who practically owns the majority of UK media/newspapers here)

Unfortunately it doesn’t help that we still don’t really know if Jeremy Corbyn is an antisemite or not due to his questionable past behaviour, which could be deemed as antisemitic but what we do know that the inquiry within the Labour Party I think back in 2020/2021, basically confirms that alot of the issues was played due to media/conservatives pumping out misinformation, alongside Corbyn failing and very slowly tackling antisemitic rhetoric within his own party as leader at the time.

This might be slightly inaccurate afaik since it was so so long ago at this point, I’m just writing this from what i remembered back then.

I wouldn’t even dare tbh especially as all my relationship eventually got super toxic, wouldn’t even be on my list 😭 I would rather die than be anywhere near them 😭

Very cute! =^•=

Damn, didn’t know having human decency meant now you’re a crooked, spineless, evil cretin.

This election season is looking like a complete disaster in the US.

Whoever wrote this article should have lost faith in Google years ago

Managed to get myself referred to a psychiatrist/psychotherapists for my complex issues after having previously done counselling/CBT with very little help in effectiveness of my emotional wellbeing due to having a complex past. Honestly can’t really believe it’s taken for me to get health insurance to be able to get help for it after having tried to get help via state healthcare but they’re entirely useless and only offer counselling/cbt within short terms and discharge you if they can’t help you anymore ;-;

It’s been such a slow process and it’s had a huge effect on my university education negatively, due to it but honestly I’ve haven’t felt more optimistic than ever tbh despite having days where it does get difficult.

I normally eat omelette and rice for lunch, with rice pre made from the night before but you can always quicken with packet rice if you don’t have the time to cook rice and pre mix eggs to quicken the preparation time and just add the seasonings you normally add to the omelette.
