millennial who quit all social media except Reddit/Lemmy (now just Lemmy) nearly a decade ago now.

it’s great for my mental health. the only issue is that Facebook decided to take over as being the new Craigslist with Marketplace so I feel like I’m missing out on the best sales of used items because i refuse to make an account and give Zuck my data

wtf there is a company called “astronomer”?

out of the loop. which astronomer are we talking about? neil degrassse tyson?

got banned for supporting Luigi. albeit a bit vocally.

i can’t help myself

neither can the Oregonian mind

I was capitalism this whole time?

yeah fuck elmo. that shifty red piece of shit.

Google Sheets. I don’t do line item budgeting though. I create my overall plan in Sheets so I know what transfers to set up and that it doesn’t exceed my income and I just look at Monarch Money to see how my spending is going. It’s $100 a year and a pretty good app.

this goes hard

Fair enough. yeah my south African one was a guess that there might be a large population of conservative holdouts but I’m afraid I don’t know much about the country in recent years.

there are a different type of conservatism. Nigeria has Christian fundamentalist conservatism so they love Trump’s anti-gay and anti-abortion government. India is hyper pro-capitalist so they love billionaires owning everything. South America is pro-apartheid and they mostly love Elon Musk.

Japan is conservative in a social sense that doesn’t include religion. they don’t mesh with trump’s America. Poland should love Trump, so not sure what’s happening there other than they’re concerned about his pro-Russia stance. that said the polish government doesn’t seem popular with its people so maybe it is a case of them having a conservative government but not a conservative population.

all those countries are fairly conservative or have large conservative populations

Nigeria has been taken over by Christian taliban. They love Trump particularly because they hate gay people.

Block what you don’t want to see. I block all the straight porn on here that somehow makes it into All. And yes Lemmy has a large amount of lgbt users.

Also it is pride season so you’ll see more queer stuff than normal.

I’m happy they’re scared.
