i was always very lucky that my For You was largely, like, Japanese zoo photographers but like...even now when i poke my head over occasionally? I'm fucking shocked at what it tries to feed me. The anger and misery it tries to bait me into reading
Yeah I fully dropped that place a while back, this place has it's discourses but is mostly filled with lovely trans people. I have literally made the tiniest bit of progress in my life thanks in part to this site.
I could lie and say I only still post there because of the artists I follow but honestly it kinda feels like the posting version of touching a stove on purpose now
Bsky feels a little boring, but maybe that's good actually. The other place ended up feeling more like a shock site than a social media platform - weirdly engrossing but also dealing more psychic damage every second I looked at it.
Yea I thought the same way until I realized that this is probably how social media should actually be and not just an endless feed of shock and extremism
I don't really parse the comments there, any longer (just pop in to check what fun thoughts and reposts my few holdout faves have shared from the Smouldering City) but yikes; I thought it must've broken new lows for you to refuge here.
Soz bout that. Now, this place is electable if we make it, hey?
Yep, doesn't even matter what the post is about, anything with more than like 50 comments is almost certain to be overflowing with Nazis. Cannot figure out why I still bother logging in when it just ends up being an extended blocking sesh every time I do.
Not a surprise, especially considering the state of the country.
Honestly, as much as I hate to say this, it may be a good idea to just stay put, and do the tour via zoom, Skype,
or whatever makes you sound as little as possible like a robot.
I am deeply sorry that our electorate is so stupid.
They can help but you do have to vet them. Trolls make blocklists that look legit and then use them to add their own enemies on to them (ie, blocklist that's billed as anti transphobe, after running for a couple months and getting subscribers, starts adding trans people to it to reduce their reach).
youre legit one of like 3 remaining reasons im on there but yeah every time its just so much worse. most recent shift ive noticed is its not just the big posts that get weirdo nazis in the replies but even random small posts by trans people get assholes in the replies
