The version of manhood placed on display by Trump and his aides is the one imagined by teenage boys.
Generational conflict is the other major factor. If the generation above me weren't so difficult to be around it wouldn't be so hard to imagine.
So, you’re 24 years old and healthy? Color me shocked.
Lol that's not at all what I'm saying. I have health problems out the wazoo and doctors in so far as I have been able to afford them have not been any sort of help for anything more complicated than the flu.
Seriously though. I don't think I've actually been helped after having gone to the doctor my entire life (I'm 24 for reference).
Symfonium is pretty good as a one time purchase.
www.esquire.com How Do Young Men See the World? We Asked Them.
Everyone else agrees they’re struggling. But how do men themselves feel about it? We sat down with twelve everyday guys from across America to get their candid opinions—on money, masculinity, Donald Trump—and find out what’s really on their minds.
It's happened under far less dire circumstances. If it truly cannot in the modern era it will be entirely due to this sort of learned helplessness.

Why so many men feel threatened today.
Honestly good for them. US tech CEOs deserve to have their lunch eaten for ducking the industry into stagnation with their short sighted greed.
I believe it has been confirmed that Deepseek-r1 was trained with RL datasets that originated with chatgpt. Pretty standard.

An improvise as you go classic. Once there were three adults whose names were Michael, Freddie, and Saskia. This story is about something that happened to them when they decided to do something to help raise awareness for New Social in the UK. When I started FORbetter, I never imagined
It's less about news and more about advocacy.
FediMatch is a project that's pretty cool.
One strategy that I'd like to specifically promote is fediverse users calling attention to spaces of the internet where people are talking about the fediverse but there's relatively few users there that can share their experience.
To that end I've been considering things like:
- Fedimigration Reinforcements
- Fedimigration Support Team
Keep in mind that whatever name we pick will also be the hashtag that the Mastodon contingent of this project will end up using. As it stands, they would see posts from this community under #growthefediverse
Brainstorming: how should we name a Lemmy community dedicated to the promotion of the Fediverse?
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/post/36427894
Hello everyone,
@[email protected] created [email protected] to synchronize efforts to promote the Fediverse on existing social media (e.g. that Reddit thread on /r/Technology which got a few people joining Lemmy)
Spaduf wasn't aware of the existence of [email protected] , which is an existing community focused on the internal growt on the Fediverse, mostly between mods and regular posters trying to make Lemmy/Mbin/Piefed communitied grow.
To avoid confusion between the two communities, we are thinking about a potential new community, with a different name.
Potential options we came up with:
What do you all think? Do you have any other ideas for the name of that new community?

I'm actually doing some research on monetization options now. Hopefully going to put together an overview of the options available soon.
Is your corner of the internet talking about the fediverse?
If so consider a post to the Fedimigration community ([email protected]). There you'll find resources and assistance to help people get onboarded.
What works and what doesn't?
Have any of y'all convinced somebody to make the switch? If so, how'd it go? What worked and what needs work?
By the numbers
These are the engagement numbers for this post over on /r/technology. These numbers are surely inflated (because reddit) but it's important to understand that YOU as an individual have the potential to reach literally millions.
Lots of people asking questions about the fediverse over at /r/fediverse

But there's not many current users over there to answer them. If you still have a reddit account and are willing to help some folks out, please consider doing so!
[email protected] is a new community to organize growth on the fediverse
This is a community intended to collect resources and build a movement to get people off of legacy social media. If you have some people you'd like to switch over, or are willing to post about Fedi on your old accounts, please come check it out:

How can I help?
If you still have legacy social, agitation over there is doing rounds right now. Unfortunately, there’s significantly fewer of us working to get people onboarded than the last migration. If you still have those accounts, please consider plugging fedi.
