this close to just throwing in the towel with firefox on desktop. I'm not sure if it's the biggest problem but I can't play a single video game without my system locking up and running out of memory at this point

you haven't truly used Linux until you come across a thing that you think could be made a lot easier with a bash script, attempt to write said bash script, realize that it's way more complicated than you thought, and then just manually do everything through the GUI like a normal person instead

I still stand by a good chunk of this though y'all gotta let the repulsed asexuals have a space. and knock it off with the child sexual abuse incest whatever crap

@bersl2 I'm not saying that I want to get rid of any of that? people expressing what they're into is literally okay, I'm saying that there's just this immediate assumption that everyone in this sphere wants and needs to participate in all of that. the whole black and white "you're either super horny or you're trying to gentrify the fandom" line of thought leaves out a lot of people

@sudaksis it's really subjective so I don't blame you but I consider the specific kind of stuff that I was sent to be on the "this is absolutely their kink" side of things and it really didn't sit well with me and I have an especially hard boundary with it now. I think a lot of what I said could be colored by bad experiences that I had with others in the past but ultimately I just want my boundaries (and everyone else's!) to be respected

if these boutique home video labels are starting to get into streaming exclusives then by all means more power to them. there's probably a bunch of good movies and series out there that nobody's heard of because they got dropped onto netflix with zero fanfare one day

@Flaky yeah people tend to get mad about the content warnings on here because some dork yelled at them for not CWing food but this is by far the best system that I've seen on any social network (barring cohost also having an 18+ flag) because it fundamentally understands that people usually just want to opt in to certain kinds of posts and its freeform nature means that you can just warn for anything and not have to wait for the system to allow you to do that

@Flaky bluesky is especially awful about people not tagging stuff, I'd probably attribute it to trauma over twitter's stupid algorithm but it's the single thing that has made me the most uncomfortable on there so far. also you'd really be surprised, I've found a lot of people on here in addition to bluesky and tumblr that will defend their rights to share loli/shota/cub porn and call you a puritan/puriteen/anti for it. especially on tumblr I have no idea what's going on there
