I’m 44 and this is actually stone cold sober reality but have a day friend.

Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.
I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 1 month ago:
It isn’t helpful to think of them as losers. Like the image says, no bread all circuses. Without making any inferences about these two people pictured, the media and public focus on their engagement is in the service of maintaining and strengthening the status quo power structures.
Resist the urge to dismiss this as crank conspiracy thinking. There is a system, even if it wasn’t designed and even if it isn’t organized. And the media is by and large a tool of that system.

In the very broadest sense I don’t disagree with you. Making a community private is a useful tool and can help to simplify strict entry guidelines.
However, given that “Cater to a very specific group of people”, refers to basically half of earth’s population in this case, I do have some quibbles.
I don’t have the data in front of me, but I bet that women represent something quite less than half the population of Lemmy. It doesn’t even stretch the imagination to suppose that they represent just a fraction of the user base.
So this isn’t a niche interest or obscure sub-culture we’re talking about. This is an artificial minority population. Is the simplicity of going private worth the added obscurity and increased friction to what should be organic community growth?
As it is, you had to see it, decide to engage with it, and then learn that it wasn’t meant for you, and you’d have just preferred to remain unaware it ever existed. Never mind that would also ensure most other People remain unaware it exists.
Is it really such a hardship on you for the filter to be set a little wider for the good of that community?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I think you just described two things working almost exactly as designed.
You should use block liberally to curate your feed.
Similarly, communities should have whatever rules make sense for them. If that keeps the community small, that might be the desired outcome for them.
I think blocking was the right call here.

- Comment on Why do smokers specifically seem to be disproportionally bad for littering? 8 months ago:
I was a smoker for about 20 years and quit in 2021 with Chantix.
For all but the last maybe 5 years of that, I just had cigarette butts on my mental whitelist. I was an otherwise very litter-conscious person who just didn’t consider butts litter because…? I never reasoned it out, and was like I suddenly realized I was fucking littering and then I became hyper sensitive about it.

The unsubtlety of the metaphor is the metaphor though.
I honestly think this will be a future classic if society survives long enough for such things.
