I am! and the difference is that lemmy doesn't seem designed to convert people to Marxist-Leninism, while Facebook seems designed to agitate and suppress meaningful discourse while simultaneously entrenching consumerism even more than ever. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those Roman Guys, you know, them, but I don't think that the propaganda I referred to was in service of convincing everyone that Julius Caesar was rad. Mostly, these things are larger than their founders. And Facebook is still a propaganda network designed to convince people that if they leave, they'll lose touch with all their friends.

Meta built and maintains a few web frameworks. That's great. They also build and maintain a propaganda network that's happy to work in accord with abusive governments, for profit. Which of these is a greater moral weight? I'm not gonna overlook the latter because react is comfy.

God, all these people ignoring "labeled as homeopathic"...

Because yeah, there are "homeopathic" remedies on the market that actually contain significant quantities of their ingredients, they're just using the word for marketing. Most of them do nothing, or are just a slightly higher dose of what you'd get from sleepytime tea. A very well-known muscle relaxant in that niche says it contains something like the equivalent of half an ounce each of valerian root, lemon balm, etc once you break down the obfuscation.

Homeopathy is total bunk, but it seems like there is no shortage of companies happy to defraud the believers, going so far as to actually give them what they think they're buying.

Whereas plenty of guys have. I'd like to consider myself a feminist, but in my experience, I'm not welcome to the label, since it seems that progressive women are less compassionate than "nonpolitical" ones when it comes to relating to the issues of men. It's obviously not some issue with feminism, but we don't get to have popular movements and also ignore their ills. The vast majority of educated feminists agree with you. The vast majority of people in the streets calling themselves feminist seem entirely in it for themselves, and it's really tiresome when well-meaning feminists who aren't just exercising their trauma, the people that men like these most-need to have honest conversations with, insist that men don't know what happens to them.

Apparently, there are no misandrists, according to online discourse. Should I tell my memories they're wrong, that I should have just been more open-minded as a young child when more than one teacher preached that men are evil and stupid, and deserve subjugation? Or maybe, just like how misogynists are good at covering it up around their friends, so are the handful of misandrists who do exist?

Except that's literally what I quoted.

don't treat them as wretched just because they are men

Why would gender-neutral language be appropriate for this venue? It's a discussion of how men are treated, and people who parrot "men are scum" will automatically say "yeah but what about the bad men? are we just supposed to feel bad for them?". It's written for an audience that is not specifically you.

In general, posting publicly about these kinds of workarounds is a bad idea. It'd be great to share them with the world, but the sooner Youtube finds out about them, the sooner they break. Keeping the recommendations to in-person or at least in private channels helps to maintain the obscurity that allows them to exist.

I don't care about your opinions, use windows all you want. I just find it hard to believe that the person you replied to was really just whining, that nobody else appreciated or was interested in helping them, and so they were actually just pissing and moaning. Link the thread if you want someone to take your weird implied hostility in good faith. Otherwise, yes, my paraphrasing is as valid an interpretation of what you've relayed so far as any other. How does that skepticism and tone-matching equate to getting defensive over your disagreeing with me?

Generic venting without supplying any details or citations is a pretty aggressive and hostile message to send, why are you surprised it's met in kind?

I hate to break it to you, but you're the person everyone else is talking about. You went into a special interest forum and more or less said "have you tried not caring about the subject?".
