That’s kind of what happened to me. Never needed to study in grade school. Had to scramble and learn how to study in college.

Still didn’t register why I had so much trouble focusing or remembering stuff until the last year or so.

As lord Gaben has said, “piracy is a service issue”

The girls in the class will figure themselves out eventually

I’ve always lived by lord GabeN’s “piracy is a service issue. You have to offer a better experience than the pirates”

I I still use it on desktop since I can still use the old design and I run several layers of adblock.

On mobile I basically never use it now unless a search result forces me to it. Lemmy needs work, but I’ve gotten it to a usable state in mobile.

I really home Baconreader makes a lemmy version because that was the only way I used reddit mobile.

Yep. I’ll up vote news of a hate crime or something, but downvote things that are directly hateful.

Context always matters and a lot of the big sites fail to understand the difference between talking about things like racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia and somone being those things.

I generally don’t downvote unless somone is being bigoted or hateful.

I probably should now. I didn’t need to much for the first couple of years of the pandemic because I basically just stayed home and only put one on when I was going to be around people.

But the issue is I can’t ever seem to get a good seal and between breathing into my eyes and wearing glasses it just becomes way harder to deal with and now I’m vaccinated I don’t feel as much of a thing for it.

I’ll probably wear one more during cold season as I use to get one once or twice every year before the pandemic.

That said, there are still places I will wear it, like the doctor’s office.

I should do this. I don’t have a whole lot, but I might archive some stuff I posted on lemmy somewhere.

I blocked that community because it was literally flooding my front page

My app treats that link as a user instead of a community and complains it can’t find it.

I wouldn’t like this. Each instance is going to have different moderation stances and I’d like to avoid groups that alow or promote hate.

Being able to separate communities gives users more power to dictate what content they want to consume or interact with.

I don’t really see it being too different from reddit when subbed to to subreddits that have similar topics. I’d see the same topic multiple times.

The thing is, I went to reddit for the discussion and it would be different depending on which community the post was in and that can be the case here. A news sub in lemmy.world is going to have a more general view but a news sub in my own instance will have more LGBTQ people in the discussions.
