I liked to check in on r/popheads from time to time on reddit because I'm into pop music, and there's !popheads@poptalk.scrubbles.tech, which doesn't seem to have that many users so I'd like to see that grow

Even with solid moderation I feel like it'd be harder than for other subs just because you really need to have a decent population of people who really know what they're talking about for it to work

I find there is a tragic lack of transgendercirclejerk here

I'm definitely not against it either necessarily, but there have definitely been some rather concerning cases in Canada recently

Strongly agree. Mastodon is alright and I use it a little, but the twitter-type format never really worked for me. I feel like when I have to follow individual people I usually end up either following no one or being forced to follow people who post things that interest me sometimes but a lot of the time post things that really don't. Following particular topics or threads just seems much more natural to me; I can look at exactly what interests me and nothing more.

Does that really make it totally apolitical though?. Like obviously it's not inherently attached to a wide reaching political ideology, but it still is political in the same way that any free software is kind of political.

Devs don't get paid less just because I pirated a game I would never have bought otherwise

Phone bad.

Like they're objectively pretty useful but I find the experience of using one to just kinda suck and I avoid it as much as I can. I'd much much rather use a laptop or ideally my desktop if that's at all possible. No idea how some people manage so much time using their phones

I feel like if you want to boycott a game but really can't resist the urge to play it the least you could do is just pirate it instead of buying it

I really really want to learn (Standard) Arabic, but I've never really gotten around to it yet because language-wise there's always been another language which is more practical at the time for me to learn (currently Dutch).

It's really nice to see. I've kinda been following Lemmy from afar since I learnt about it in 2020 but I could never really get into using it because the activity just wasn't there, but things are feeling completely different now
