I did comment on the main post. And now I'm choosing to disengage.

I checked your posts and yeah, decently accurate.

I joined in July 2023 (on my first account on .world) and had nearly the opposite experience. I expect a certain amount of misogny in male dominated online spaces and it's definitely not sunshine and roses here, as per the occasional trolls who hop into the women's only community, but my first thoughts were of how little toxicity I saw, compared to other platforms.

That said, I curate my feed, mainly stick to communities I subscribe to, and (usually) disengage when the communication isn't effective.

The Argonaut Melampus cured the insanity of the daughters of Proteus with hellebore and urged them to join with young and strong men. Melampus believed woman's madness derived from their uterus being poisoned with 'venomous humors', due to a lack of orgasms.

Thanks for being a bro, the Argonaut Melampus.

More to the point, I migrated from lemmy.world to sh.itjust.works by going through the instance list here: https://join-lemmy.org/ ...and picking an active one in my country with a list of rules I could live with.

But as others have said, it's basically the same experience unless you pick an instance with aggressive rules and/or defederated from the ones you don't like. Otherwise you're just seeing the same people and communities.

I don't think I've ever had an issue with a blahaj user, so there's that.

Don't have one.

Yeah, something closer to this, maybe? If that's what they were going for. But preferably made with vectors and converted to PNG, there's some weird artifacting on OPs corners and the resolution/colour doesn't match between the logo and the bolt holes.

Looks like it was supposed to be a razor. I like the razor.

Right! It wasn't a dream, then. I kinda prefer that to a hammer. Harsh judgement v.s. neat reference that reminds us people are people.

I'm on new antidepressants so I can't reach the finish line but they upped my adderall, too, so I have the motivation to keep trying. I'm real sore, guys.

It looks like a razor and I (apparently) had a dream about it.

[–] Icytrees@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago (8 children)

I thought it was supposed to be a razor and it was representative of some kind of razor thing. I think there were comments explaining it but I may have dreamed that.

...patriarchy is a symptom of the sociopathy that thrives under capitalism.

I didn't say patriarchy came from capitalism, rather that a general sociopathy thrives when private entities control capital. I say that patriarchy is a product of general sociopathy, that organized dehumanizing of a group of people comes from a lack of empathy and compassion, which of course pre-dates capitalism.
