All the same, I did switch to Ocenaudio when I heard the news. Works pretty good.

For fuck’s sake.

Was it so hard to address what I actually said?

You are the one arguing in bad faith by straw-manning me. You entered this thread with a whataboutism. And you have been up and down this thread accusing anyone who disagrees with you is guilty of “Oppression Olympics” or that they don’t believe men’s issues exist.

Cut off that other crap about men “running the most powerful government in the world”. I guarantee the average man does not “run the world”. I sure as hell don’t. Do you? No? Then stop.

I never fucking said that, liar. We were talking about misogynists and misandrists (this all started with talking about Tate and FDS, remember?) , and I said the former were running the most powerful government in the world.

Fuck yes!

That and it’s possible to be lonely without being sexist

Sure, but people often misdirect their anger at the wrong things.

LMAO let’s not pretend like places such as /FemaleDatingStrategy don’t exist.

FDS has nowhere near the same reach as Tate, or other manosphere influencers.

And don’t you start telling me “Oh, but woman-hating misogynists are worse” because then the conversation turns in to the “Oppression Olympics” and all people do is focus on arguing about who has it worse instead of focusing on actually fixing anybody’s problems.

Yes, they are both dicks. But one group has active control of the most powerful government on earth.

What? Saying one thing is on a different level is not the same as saying the other doesn’t exist.

What kind of a loser does this to someone?

GamerGate-tier slop. “tumblristas” or whatever have nowhere near the level of influence, power or damage to society as the manosphere. When was the last time you read about one shooting up a school?

Already switched the laptop over to Mint. Desktop to follow.

You love to see it, folks!

The GOP crying about political violence after everything they’ve done is hilarious.

The problem is properly translating that from paper to digital. With a physical paper, you don’t even need to subscribe, you can just go out and buy one copy with a day or week’s worth of news. As for the ads, they’re static text/images printed on a piece of paper. They don’t overstimulate you by jumping around or block the content you’re actually there for.

I just listen to music on YT in a browser with uBlock Origin.

I assume they’re not that big into politics and just wanna appear moderate.

No, cutting out the few minutes a day I still bother with it isn’t exactly going to have spez standing outside my bedroom window with a boombox trying to get me back. I use Lemmy, but I’ve mostly gone back to message boards, so I’m content with where I am.

Social Media is designed to be addictive. That said, isn’t the user base mostly bots at this point?

I STRONGLY recommend just going out looking for whatever forums you can find that are still active.

I’ve actually been going out of my way to look up new forums to use since the Reddit API controversy. Finding them can sometimes be a pain in the ass because search engines suck nowadays, but I’ve found a few I hang around on. I spend way more time on them than I do Lemmy.
