Let me preface this by saying I'm not a fan at all of Bill Burr, but he recently went on Bill Maher's show, and said he was with the students. He's also said some inflammatory things in the past, so I'm not sure. Are we cool with Bill Burr, now?
Hi. I'm looking for an app that tells you which companies pollute. Something like No Thanks, which tells you brands that support Israel, but for companies that pollute the water or dump waste....
Hi! I recently discovered a couple eco-friendly apps to try out. But, I'm also wondering if there are any eco-friendly social networks out there? I haven't had much luck in my search, maybe people here have heard something? Here are the apps I discovered:...
Hi. So when I'm watching a tv show or movie, and it hits me in the feels, I will think something like "Oh, this movie is wholesome, or this tv show is wholesome" Even if it has swearing in it, as long as the message is a good one. I've been on Lemmy now a couple days, and I rate lemmy super-duper wholesome. Maybe it was the...
Hello. Let's talk about self-care. Who practices self-care regularly? I've been making an absolute effort to practice self-care, and it's definitely improving my mood. I floss, meditate, do qigong, breathwork, etc. Yes, flossing is self-care, take care of yo teefs. What does everyone do for self-care? Bonus question: Where else...
I classify anything that helps your mood as self care lol. Drinking tea would be self care. Flossing helps your teeth stay healthy so I figured it counts.
Hello! I've been searching for a reddit alternative, and yes, I've picked Lemmy and Raddle, but here's the thing. My morbid curiosity is perked up, and a part of me wants to join the "free speech" alternatives, like Saidit, Poal, etc. What's wrong with me that I want to join toxic places? I mean, yes I'll find a whole new...
I've thought about being compassionate with these people, but the moment you get called a jewish slur or the n word, all compassion kinda goes out the window.
Maybe it's just my way of thinking, but if someone says "you can't do that" I usually stop doing that and shut down, because it's not allowed. I have autism, so that my play a role in it, but my go to response is to just shut down usually and stop doing that thing or avoid it all together.
I used to hang out on toefur, a straight edge forum (I was straight edge for the majority of my life, not anymore though) It wasn't a bad site to be on, but it had its moments. I learned the phrase fuckdammit there.
Honestly, I've been trying hard to practice self-care, so I believe in loving and being kind to yourself. Im also very left leaning, close to socialist/anarchist ideals/beliefs.
I think you're right that the anger is misguided. I also think it stems from trauma, but that's just me. It's like the old saying "hurt people hurt people" and right-wingers are a bunch of repressed, hurt people.
Hi! Recently exiled reddit user, here. I'm curious what other alternatives to reddit there are, besides Lemmy, and Raddle, of course. Also, imho, Phuks is a good alternative, there's no hate-speech (that I'm aware of) and people are pretty respectful. Anyways, let's hear your suggestions! Thank you!
Aw, no! Phuks has fallen to hate speech? I'll have to investigate this. I investigated, and didn't find any hate speech. Just some dumb jokes. I'm talking they have posts with the N word right on the front page. So disgusting.
I've tried to use Gemini browsers, but they are too complicated for my human brain. I can't remember which browser it was, but it was used mostly for Gemini space.

Hi. This question is for leftists mostly. If you watch a content creator that's on the left, but they have a questionable guest on, do you continue to watch that creator or do you find a different creator to watch? I sometimes watch The Convo Couch and Danny Haiphong, but they've had very questionable guests on and I can't bring...
I’m digging anarchists’ more hands on, pragmatic approach to politics. I finished The Conquest of Bread a couple of weeks ago and I’m currently working my way through Bullshit Jobs. Any suggestions about theory, praxis, mutual aid, etc. would be appreciated
He's not an anarchist, per se, but Noam Chomsky is always good to read. I heard Neal Stephenson's book The Diamond Age is about anarchy? As well as Kim Stanley Robinson's book Red Planet. Sadly, those are the only two I am aware of!
Hello comrades! I figured I might have a bit more scientific responses here than Reddit, or maybe the same. So, for the longest damn time, I was really into adaptogenic teas, it gave me a bit of a buzz but in a good way. More focused I should say. I also have autism, and I tried a cordyceps tea and I didn't feel as autistic when...
Hello. I bought a new computer recently, and the computer I'm replacing is still good, but it only works as a tablet now. I'm considering putting Linux on it, but would it be worth it or should I get rid of my old computer? Thanks!
Hi. I started doing the WHM (Wim Hof Method, for those not in the know) a couple years ago, it was going great. Recently, however, I started getting panic attacks, and I figured the WHM was to blame, so I have stopped doing it altogether. However, I've found ways to manage my panic attacks/paranoia, and now my brain's like...
Hi. I just started buteyko method, and it’s supposed to relax you and release nitric oxide when you do it. I did a session earlier, and I started seeing visuals/swirling of colors in my eyes. I’m pretty sure it was the nitric oxide being released. Are there any major side effects to nitric oxide? Could I get super high if my...
Hi! I just got a new computer recently, and I'm concerned about browser security and security in general. Any recommendations for a good secure browser? Preferably open source.
Hi Lemmy. I'm wondering if eating healthy or at least getting enough nutrients, would change a person's outlook on certain things. Like I'm trying out keto and certain foods like avocadoes calm my mind down. I guess I'm asking if someone followed a keto diet or vegetarian/vegan lifestyle, would that shape their political...
Hi, Lemmy! So I made two mistakes. But I'd like to inform Lemmy, that there is a free speech version of the Lemmy code being used to throw racial slurs around. That instance is called goatpen.co I advise you not to go there, as you will come across racial slurs on the front page....
Do we like Bill Burr now?

Apps like No Thanks, but for the environment

Some green apps to try!

Besides lemmy, what's another good reddit alternative?

What happened to The Militant?
I decided to check out The Militant, a socialist news site, and it looks to be supporting Israel. I could be wrong and I hope I am, but wtf?
