Ah yeah, didn’t even think of that and I even saw a post come through my feed this morning from there. I tend to associate this kind of stuff more with hippies lol but maybe that’s a good place to ask too.

Ah, I was talking about the satanism connection here lol.
- Comment on [deleted] 15 hours ago:
I don’t think I’ve really seen any communities around here dealing with anything metaphysical or whatever. Or this kind of spirituality.
You might possibly get a better reception in !witchesvspatriarchy@lemmy.ca but that’s really the only community around here where I think people who have information or advice could possibly be lurking.

First time I’ve ever read of this interpretation and that’s super fucking cool.
- Comment on i can’t tell if this is edginess or mental illness? i hope she’s doing okay 3 days ago:
This reminds me of an online thing that I had going with someone that started in my late teens. Even the line about not having empathy was something that I remember, which I never bought. And talking about self harm, suicide, trouble distinguishing dreams from actual events etc. That was a wild ride. I eventually found out, when everything was crashing and burning, that a lot of stories and details of stories were made up too.
Funnily enough, after years of not talking, she’s probably one of my ‘best’ and longest running friends now lol. Someone that I can talk to about anything with (literally the only person I’ve ever discussed gender identity related shit with). I wasn’t born perfect either, and put her through just as much hell, so we’ve both seen and dealt with each other at our worst and lowest, which makes a good kind of shoulder to cry on if you can make it through the other side of that.
And in her case, it was part edginess and part mental health lol. Bipolar and being a teenager that wanted to fit in with the alternative scene and be dark and morbid and shit. Which I actually get to some extent too. When I was young I used to say that I’d be part of club 27 because I thought that a cool thing to say and imagine for myself. Until someone actually pointed out how fucked up it is to go around talking like that.

- Comment on Amazon's Tomb Raider series reportedly 'dead' after tens of millions in development costs resulted in no script 6 days ago:
It’s a good thing because it would’ve been a shitshow anyway. With the way that ‘masculinity’ is being wielded these days, regardless of how attractive the actor was, the likes of Asmongold (who looks like a fucking humanoid rat himself) and PissDrinker and whoever else would’ve been making videos about her boobs being too small or having hair on her arms or being the wrong colour or not acting enough like a lady or some shit. And the ‘alpha’ hordes of mouth breathers would’ve been throwing them their money and circlejerking themselves into a frenzy over it.
And that poor actor that thought she had a cool role and opportunity in the acting world would’ve been getting death and rape threats and told that she’s actually a man and all sorts of other abuse.
We don’t deserve a Tomb Raider movie. What we deserve an entire series of Minecraft movies where the humans can go and throw their popcorn around like apes throwing shit, and Jack Black acting as Jack Black can sing us nonsensical songs. Because that’s about the level of brain rot and general intelligence that the world is at right now.
- Comment on How chaotic gang of British 'geeks' launched one of most lucrative gaming franchises of all time [Grand Theft Auto] 1 week ago:
I haven’t played GTA 5 (or any of the 2D games apart from the GBA release tbh) but as far as dark and gritty goes, I’d say that GTA 4 fills that role for the 3D games, especially the GTA 4 DLC The Lost and Damned. Wouldn’t call them cyberpunk though.
- Comment on What's the best "good-bad" TV series you've seen? 1 week ago:
This sounds similar but different to another show called iZombie about a zombie that works in a police morgue and gets brains from there (in this universe, zombies only turn feral if they go without brains for too long). Also, a side effect is that she gets flashes of that person’s memories after eating their brains and helps solve their murders lol.
I might have to check Forever Knight out.
- Comment on Another (Negative) ‘Superman' Reaction — World of Reel 2 weeks ago:
Yeah this is one movie that I’m definitely ignoring any (early) reviews and shit for until I’ve actually seen it for myself. Besides the fact that a lot of people are just tired of superhero stuff, the Snyder people are going to look for any and every reason to find fault with this, and I have a feeling that we can expect nonsense from anti woke people too (although that’s a given for basically anything at this point).
There’s too much extra bullshit in the airways poisoning entertainment in general right now. So even though I’ve always been inclined to ignore reviews, now more than ever the only opinion that I’m going to trust is my own.
- Comment on Lanterns' Director Teases the HBO Show's Tone and 'Sci-Fi Magic' 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, this universe is going to start off with everything already in full swing as far as superheroes and shit goes. Guy Gardner is in the Superman movie as well. So it makes sense to me that Hal has already been around and doing his thing for a little while.
- Comment on What mythologies have poor representation in media, in your opinion? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s funny that those were called out as exceptions because as far as ancient Greek mythology goes, Disney’s Hercules (one of the most widely known takes) basically made Hades = Satan and Zeus = God. I’ve also seen Hades get treated as Satan lite in DC Comics adaptations, basically unashamedly rewriting another mythology to base it around christianity. Meanwhile, from what I’ve seen, Hades was actually one of the few semi decent gods.
- Comment on Fable delayed to 2026 3 weeks ago:
I look forward to all of the Fable ‘fans’ coming out of the woodwork to complain that the female characters and designs don’t look like porcelain anime supermodels. It’s going to be X-Men '97 all over again with a bunch of people that clearly weren’t ever fans of the original complaining about their “childhoods being ruined.”
I suggest that any and all one handed Gamers™ first take a look at the original character designs before opening their stupid mouths and complaining about the wOkE agENdA making characters uglier.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, as much as I support there being women only spaces here, especially around here where it seems like the only way that women are going to be able to have any spaces here is by brute force, I am unfortunately not a woman. And I don’t want to invade or force my way in. So just to repeat, I absolutely support and respect there being communities where women can mingle with each other without asshole men popping up every five minutes to shit on them.
What I’m hoping for is that once communities like !WomensStuff@lazysoci.al are able to get a foothold and thrive and more women are actually comfortable around here, we’ll start seeing more communities that deal with things like skin and haircare and jewelry and thrifting and cool styles and shit. Because clearly most men aren’t interested or else those sorts of communities would be popping up already. So this place needs more of a woman’s touch first lol.
Not complaining or being sour or anything. I have faith that it’ll get to the point where these communities don’t need to be gendered anymore but I’ve seen the way people around here can be so I also think it’s necessary for now.
- Comment on I have a bunch of questions: Whats the best way to get this platform's feed to compete with reddit? 4 weeks ago:
More stuff that isn’t memes, news and politics. Like, apparently there’s two people on this whole platform watching Harley Quinn (or at least leaving a comment about it in the discussion thread). Pretty much everything that isn’t memes, news or politics is still dead around here. Except for pro wrestling somehow.
What I’m still missing from Reddit is actual discussion of the forms of entertainment that I enjoy. I even tried that thread about “what music are you listening to” that pops up in casual conversation once or twice but no one gives a fuck, not even the OP of those threads bothers going through and giving an up arrow to people that have replied. And no one interacts with any replies either, so might as well be on Facebook for that kind of ‘discussion’.
I’m also missing the haircare and skincare type subreddits. There were a lot of valuable resources and it was nice having a place for the occasional stupid questions. Also fashion / style type subreddits. I still think those would do great around here with LemmyNSFW mostly kept separate from everything else, so it would help keep the one handed browsers away. Although I still maintain that a big barrier for certain people in this regard is no posting to your own profile.
But yeah, there is lots and lots of stuff that this platform still needs. Memes, news and politics are the first things you’ll get on every platform. Now I just wish there was more than that.
- Comment on What was the 'bear vs man' controversy? 4 weeks ago:
It was a repeat of #MenAreTrash and a little bit of #MeToo using different words this time. And just like any other time there is an awareness campaign that highlights the general statistics and truth of things, instead of inspiring men to take a stand and push for any change or correcting of shitty, toxic behaviour; the so called loud minority rushes in to say “not all men” and defend the status quo while the so called silent majority lets them.
- Comment on I will not elaborate 5 weeks ago:
Cringe is teenagers and 20 somethings hero worshipping Joe Rogan and supporting right wing christian nationalists. Lamest fucking generation around. Even boomers had a hippie phase before becoming old and bitter. Gen Z just skipped that and went straight to the conformist bootlicker phase.
- Comment on Microlabel Positivity 1 month ago:
Do people think that the more specific labels and variations are the reason for the hate? Because as someone who only actually started looking up terminology and familiarising myself with the people late in life, and has walked amongst closed minded conservative people, they don’t know or care about anything outside of ‘gay’ or ‘trans’. Even non-binary is an alien concept to most.
It doesn’t matter what the label is or what the colours are, people who hate anything out of the norm are going to hate anything out of the norm regardless. Especially when they’ve been raised in a religion that teaches them from childhood that anyone out of the norm is going to burn and suffer for eternity. They don’t do research so that they know what they’re talking about and they don’t bother to ever actually get to know any of the people they claim to hate. They just like to hate.
If they weren’t going after trans people right now, they would be going after gay people. And you can bet that’s next anyway. Have people already forgotten how gay people were treated before trans people were the target?
- Comment on Germany right now 1 month ago:
Yeah that’s fair enough and I’m definitely generalizing. It’s just the general sum of my personal observations over the years. And it could easily be just seeing the wrong conversations in the wrong places or whatever. To be fair, you seem to hear about US issues a lot more than European issues on the net in general anyway.
- Comment on Germany right now 1 month ago:
I don’t want to start a war or anything but as someone from neither the USA or Europe, Europeans online often come across as even more exceptionalist than Americans, despite the reputation to the contrary. Because, at least in leftish or liberal spaces, no one is more ready to shit on and call out the USA than Americans. And I don’t mean they’re anti-American or whatever, they just want their country to be better, so they call out all the shit.
Europeans on the other hand often seem more proud and / or defensive about their countries. Maybe they speak openly in their own country specific communities but I don’t get the sense that they’re as open and friendly to outside input or criticism as the Americans are.
The way I see it, we’re all hooked onto the same stream of memes and billionaire owned news sources everywhere across the world. So thinking we’re immune to being overtaken by dangerous alt right nonsense and ignoring all the obvious signs would be a very stupid move, wherever you are. If they’re not taking this seriously, they’re doing exactly what the Americans did and have done since 2016.

I was actually thinking of coming back to this and asking if you’d heard anything. Thanks for the update! Pretty weird that it’s just seemingly running like a zombie there.
I haven’t seen any of the porn communities in the three non porn instances I’ve tried here personally. So out of the big ones, world seems to already de-federated at least.
- Comment on are terfs actual feminists or do most transphobic women just call themselves that? 1 month ago:
Based on a couple of arguments I’ve now had, they actually sound a lot like manosphere, anti woke people. Just a bit more intelligent and well read. But even the “trans ideology” phrase that they like to use is just their version of “woke agenda”.
I think that it is a sect of feminism that has been created and seeded by the same right wing christian nationalist types that are also behind the manosphere and MAGA. The Peter Thiel and Elon Musk types. They realised in the '90s that calling everything “satanic” wasn’t working, so they started coming up with new terminology to pull people in.
First it was “SJWs”, then “woke” but it all attracts the same kind of people. And “trans ideology” was the term they came up with for women that read and aren’t completely dense. So they’re all behaving like reborn christians and going around stomping out anything the norm. But they also sincerely believe they’re right. But honestly, based on the conversations I’ve had so far, all alt right people have the same talking points, which TERFs definitely are a part of. They’re just, as I say, not as clearly dumb as other alt right types.
- Comment on What's your "this is totally fine and I'm going to have a great time" FPS? 1 month ago:
I don’t really obsess about framerates myself and I’ve never had the kind of budget to have the latest and greatest parts but from what I’ve seen, somewhere around 30fps is fine.
And even though you didn’t ask, the last setting that I ever sacrifice is draw distance. I’ll turn down textures and shadows and reflections and everything else before I sacrifice draw distance. I don’t need realistic graphics to be able to immerse myself and have a good time. But things popping in and out of existence in front of your eyes are the ultimate immersion breaker for me.

Thanks for the nice conversation, btw.
Likewise. It’s always appreciated when you can chat with someone without guards up and needing to counter snark and shit.
I’ve asked to remove them
I get this bad feeling that they’re probably just going to tell you to get lost. I wouldn’t be surprised if the moderators of those subs have okayed it. Another common thing I saw creators complaining about was dodgy Reddit moderators. The moderators of those subs aren’t their friends or allies from what I can tell. If they’re not the usual assortment on Reddit who aren’t even part of the community but like power anyway, there’s also suspected ‘agencies’ or other bad actors running some of these subs and making life hard for people.
But I applaud you for doing this. And I would be amazed if it actually worked.

- Comment on What's up with lemmit.online? 2 months ago:
Even if it’s futile, I probably still won’t be able to keep my mouth shut about it lol. I do enough keeping my mouth shut in the real world, in a country where you have to assume that everyone you meet has conservative views until proven otherwise. So I’m not going to do that to myself online as well. It just feels wrong to me to not at least try when there’s an injustice going on because the easiest way for nothing to change is for no one to even try and change things.
And you’re right, things are at least better for amateur workers now than they were before. So that is progress. Although from what I’ve gathered, OnlyFans isn’t completely immune to dodgy shit either. I’ve come across a couple of stories involving practically human trafficking situations where women are forced into this by pimps and other pieces of shit. So you never really know what’s going on behind the scenes when the camera switches off and the put on smile goes away.
Which is why it’s also just more ethical to get this content from the content creators themselves rather than random 3rd party websites that lift content from elsewhere. At least if you’re getting it from the source, you can have some sense of whether it passes the vibe check or not.
Also, just want to add because I just thought of it. Places that set up bots that lift amateur content from around the web aren’t checking for vibes or doing their homework. So they’re the kinds of places that would be peddling pictures of abuse or trafficking victims, or even underage people, without even knowing it. Or caring.
The whole thing just gives me the creeps. I’m fine with people stealing from Brazzers or whatever because those workers have already been paid and you’re stealing from the suits that get rich from them. But amateur stuff just has too many variables and ethical concerns for me to be comfortable with people treating it the same way as Brazzers.
