Some updates about Lemmy NSFW
  • Downvoting does both things. I know the downvotes happen for “unwanted” gender stuff happens and that sucks. Both things can be true at the same time and there is no single solution that will make everyone happy.

  • Some updates about Lemmy NSFW
  • It doesn’t do it directly. Downvotes promote self-moderation. Posts getting downvoted disincentivizes someone from posting another thing that might get downvoted. When you take downvotes away, people are less inclined to self-moderate and it shifts the burden to a mod.

  • Some updates about Lemmy NSFW
  • Well, regardless of how you might feel about the just you’re doing, as a frequent user I think you’re doing great. Moderation of any platform is a thankless job. It’s a lot like politics where the people that want moderation power probably aren’t the ones that should have it.

    Downvotes. I think they should be on. I know brigading is def a problem. But on the other hand, not having downvotes enabled forces users to rely on reporting everything to a mod instead of letting the downvotes do their job.

    The costs and donation stuff. That’s a lot of personal investment without much in return. Once I’m employed again I’d love to help out somehow.

    Good luck on the UI stuff. I been on Voyager app on IOS since it launched so I have no opinions.

    Keep up the good work amigo!

  • Naomi Klein: If Biden Wants to Stop Trump, He Should Step Down
  • I remember this as well and I posted about it either here or the r/ and got downvoted all to shit over it. Gaslighting that it never happened. He said something about being a transition pres, bringing people back together and would hand o er the reins or some shit. I voted for him and he got his 4 years. Now the old Warhawk has lots of potential conflicts to get us mired in and doesn’t want to give up the chair.

  • Americans are lonely and it’s killing them. How the US can combat this new epidemic.
  • It costs too much to be out and be social. There is no place for people to congregate that doesn’t require you to spend money. Even churches have $ expectations. In most places the local public library is the last free third space. I know everyone seems to love remote work, but for me remote work forced the place of my biggest stress to be in my house and I hate it. I’ve been mostly remote for the last 13 years and I’ve realized that I need an onsite work place so I can maintain my home as my place of relaxation and escape.

  • Cities: Skylines 2 DLC delayed so studio can focus on PC fixes
  • It’s running pretty decent now since that lastest couple patches. But I haven’t pushed a city up past 60k population yet. I’m still a bit sore they didn’t implement bicycles. Should have been baked in at launch.

  • Starfield's been left out to dry at The Game Awards—and even dedicated fans are 'not terribly surprised'
  • I read a reviewer that said “It’s a beautiful game about space exploration that has no space exploration” and they were completely right. It’s just fallout in space. Who thought Quick Travel the game would be compelling space exploration

  • GTA 6 publisher CEO thinks videogame prices are "very, very low" for what they offer
  • Yeah agreed. Everything is very subjective to the end user. I’m one of those folks who watches a movie once and then probably will never watch it again. Purchasing physical media movie doesn’t meet my specific consumption model.

    Games are often problematic for my turbo-ADHD brain. Most games I play for less than a couple hours before I quit playing never to launch it again. It’s rare that I click with a game long enough to “get my money’s worth”. Notable exceptions are city builders and factory optimization games. Those I can invest hundreds of hours into.

    For me, the Xbox pc game pass has saved me sooooo much money. I can try lots of games with a guilt free wallet without acquiring games through alternative free methods.

  • Burnt Out

    Like the title says, I am burned out.

    Im a 45 year old American male and I don’t even know if I have a formal diagnosis yet. I am currently working with my primary care provider and am seeing a therapist that claims she is a specialist in adult ADHD and it has been months.

    I remember as a youngster that my mom took me to the doc for hyperactivity somewhere around 2nd or 3rd grade. Somewhere around 1985 or 1986. That doc said I had ADD but it was probably cause by a sensitivity to “red food dye”. “Don’t let him eat red food and he will be fine”.

    It wasn’t fine.

    A few years back i was diagnosed with GAD and Depression and was given medication for those which helped me for a short time with depression stuff but didn’t do anything for the root of the problem.

    I moved across the country and started working with my current doc and he prescribed Wellbutrin for my depression and said it’s also prescribed for ADHD. It wasn’t doing anything for the depression and I’ve since stopped all meds and now am working with this therapist.

    Therapy is going well enough dealing with trauma and those things. But we aren’t doing anything with my ADHD which is my biggest problem.

    I can’t focus at work. Executive function is gone and has been for a long time. Every day for like over 2 years is complete task paralysis.

    My wife and I use this analogy about spoons to discuss mental capacity for life. Everybody has a certain amount of spoons in their drawer. Tasks and thoughts use up spoons throughout the day. Once the drawer is empty, there’s no more to give until you was some dishes and replenish (nap or a nights sleep or something).

    Well I’m out of fuckin spoons and every time I check the drawer there are fewer and fewer spoons to work with.

    I really hope there is a path to something resembling “better” because I do t know how much more of this I can take”.
