Just blocked lemmy.ml from my Lemmy account, and I swear to god it's one of the best things I've ever done on this platform. My homepage feels actually clean now.

For the past few months I'd been seeing a lot of tankie posting and pretty much far-left propaganda on my feed. It got tiring enough that I finally checked my blocked-user list, and realized pretty much everyone I'd blocked was from lemmy.ml. So I just blocked the whole instance instead.

Saying this as someone who considers themselves a leftist: I used to think Lemmy itself was an echo chamber. Turns out lemmy.ml was the problem the entire time. Probably the reason I tolerated it for so long is that I agreed with a lot of what they posted, but like an oversaturated meme, I'd had enough. Browsing the platform was starting to feel way too tiring instead of fun, which defeats the point of being here in the first place.

The breaking point was seeing some dude post a "meme" implying North Korea and China are basically communist utopias and that the West sucks. I mean, the West does suck, but come on - you're saying North Korea is the ideal the West should strive for? What the hell...

seriously tho, i am the clown here demonstrating my clear lack of knowledge regarding all these different and diverse peoples that inhabit this beautiful continent, is joke. :::

You cannot guess where i am from!!!

sobbing i am sorry guys, i swear i will never do that again

more sobbing :::

I mean those like that, i did this one manually, but it was quite an annoying process, is there any tool in freecad that can help with these situations?

I have equality between all these lines, but it was still not so pleasant

EU absolutely is a country.

after bashing my head in my table for a bit, i finally managed to make something "salvagable"... i think.

this is meant to be a vesa adapter, from 200mm to 100mm; the idea is that 6mm metal screw-posts are melted into the holes

the sketch is quite a bit of a hellscape... i will see if i can figure out symmetry on the next iteration. Do you have any advice on how i can use better this program? it's been quite a bit since i haven't seen such a steep learning curve on a piece of software

You know, i do actually very often concur with these kinds of content, like the ones saying billionaires are leaches on society and governments are often used as a weapon to protect the ruling classes.

But man... when i come to lemmy i kinda want to only see memes, and funny stuff... even communities that are not niches to political content get political way too often. Like gotdammit, when i get to c/comics i just want to see funny drawings, i'm way too tired to want to see your lame class war comic...

Is that a feeling i'm the only one feeling?

edit: i think what makes it worse is that very often they're not even funny, just literal propaganda, "good guy propaganda", maybe, but still propaganda

edit n2: edited title and body slightly to be "open ended" on mod's request

This is actually "Pimentão Cascadura"; it's an "improved" green bell pepper variety here in Brazil, i think it's more resistant to plagues, sickness and all that

this one is for the Europeans who laughed when i made fun of the Yankees.

Before the fun police comes and confiscates my post, this is obviously a joke and should not be taken seriously(unless you are Portuguese)

During world war two there was quite a rise of xenophobia against Japonese because of the acts of the Japonese empire, do you feel like xenophobia against you has increased in the past years?

You you are also from a ""enemy"" country from the US, you may also give away your experience.
