The free version only edits all your comments with random words, but for me was good enough just to delete my main account asap.

That's actually a good idea. Well I think tankies are beyond reparation, they'll confidently think that my grandma is being paid by the CIA or something similar.. But just for having recorded her experience of how it was living under the USSR dictatorship could be worth.

Peaceful liberation, you have to be kidding.

I'd love you to talk with my still alive 90 years old Polish grandma who happened to directly experience all the bullshit when Stalin and Hitler were best friends forever and later the 50 years of post war "liberation" of Poland by the Soviets. I can ask her questions on your behalf if you want. Direct experience no propaganda books.

It's crazy how their propaganda extended so much brain rot.

So how many millions after the debunk we have to write down by leaders like Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot and others?

Do you really think that beans, broccoli, lentils and all the vegetables, fruits, legumes.. are more expensive than meat? Don't forget that meat also has subsidies to lower the final price, so you are also paying in taxes this "cheap" meat.

Their marketing strategy isn't just blaming the consumer, it is to sell that their product is "sustainable and green", and people instead of not buying, they buy their "sustainable and green" product that shouldn't even exist in the first place. So no, they are not wasting money on marketing, they just changed the strategy.

Coming back to people, have you tried convince someone to change their preferred message app even knowing that belongs to an evil company and making the change being a literal 5 minute task?

In my experience people aren't even trying. Just blaming the same way companies and politicians do. If we really tried our best many things would have changed already. I believe that everything we have now is just a mirror of our collective greed, and we are doomed if we expect the other (companies and politicians) to change anything.

Yes seems that it is true, Tuta then I think they support custom domains.

Posteo is cool as an alternative to Proton for mail, they are bunch of nice Germans going to the office on bike, you can't go evil on that.

Oh yes it is there, I didn't know that. Thank you!

For the login issue it is easy to fix, you make an exception in the privacy settings for whatever website you visit.
It's on Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Manage Exceptions (And make sure you add and Save the Changes).

It's a bit of nuisance at first to do but you only have to do it once, and this way you also have control which websites install their crap on your browser. For the render issues I don't know, it is not my experience but maybe it is related too to make an exception for these websites.

We may have to just accept that it won't ever be a big platform for this very reason and just have fun there as a niche site.

I liked Reddit but I couldn't ignore what's happening there anymore. Anyway Lemmy is cool too, not missing it that much.

Yes at this point I think I can agree with all you are saying and I don't feel there is anything I can add. Actually the symptom of a lack of a social need being met is something you gave me to think about.

Thank you for debate, have a nice day :)

First of all thanks for the correction, English is not my first language, I appreciate it.

So... Yesterday in my country in a local forum someone asked regarding the tariffs, what should we do? Are we going to boycott the US? The general consensus more or less was that yes, that's what we should do. Then the excuses arrived, but I'm not going to give up Amazon, nor Google, nor Meta, how am I going to give up this or that? Then other person gave them good alternatives and he was totally ignored. I didn't feel that this was a social need, more like convenience, laziness and apathy. I mean, yeah I can kind of agree with you, there are some things I can't give up exactly because a social need, if I give up one service I get isolated, and yeah when I get depressed I eat sweets when I shouldn't... But what about the rest?

Anyway I am no one to tell you how you should live, nor I do have the absolute truth whatever that is, all I am saying is that if we buy into the bullshit (not a little, I wish it was just a little) then bullshit is what we have, and yeah we can bitch all you want about the bullshit we are in, we change or nothing will change. What did you mean when you said "change from within"? Isn't exactly what I am talking about?

And to be honest I didn't understand what you meant by this social need. Do we really need to buy all the services the rich offer us as a bait to be happy and content? I am aware that we have some needs to function in society, I'm using them all the time, but I couldn't use it as an excuse to the extreme bullshit we are in, my colleagues in my last job complained all the time about the stress and long hours in the job and then they spent all their money in "stuff". Is this the social need? They could work in a low stress job for less money if they didn't spend so much money in Amazon for things that nobody really needs. But instead they were working harder to get more money to get more stuff to buy, it was madness from my point of view not a social need.

I don't know that's why I asked first but they responded with a meme instead.

But I was talking more in general and not about him or her specifically, I'm starting to get tired about the "billionaires this and billionaires that" while posting it in an iPhone 19 and browsing amazon next for the next rubbish to buy, many people do this.

I just wish we could talk about how we really got in this mess collectively instead of blaming because no one is free of blame (not even myself obviously), we can only fix our mistakes if we start by accepting them.

My problems are because the rich. *

Yet you give them literally all your money and time. And will keep doing it *

You are not talking about improving society, you are just blaming.

And who support rich people? Where do you spend your money?

Are these Neoni-koins crypto? I made my research and I have my whole life savings ready to invest.

But how do we reduce consumption? I believe that for whatever mess we are in we have to start by blaming ourselves, not just our personal problems. Blaming the other won't change anything. I blamed myself of all the world problems and I reduced my consumption to aprox a 90%, I started to use my car only when really needed, started to buy locally, cancelled all my shit and even went vegan, and I feel that I still could do better, sorry for the "holier than thou", I'm trying to give an example.

I don't really know how you got that my conclusion was to make someone stop existing. For a start you can't make stop existing something it doesn't exist yet. I also don't believe we should literally stop having children, but be more mindful of what we do, and that our mindset is the problem. The "I want this, I want that". But my other point was, do we really need more population when we do not have our shit together? We don't even understand what the problem is. We will consume to our extinction while blaming the other.

Self-cherishing attitude is the cause of all our problems not just global collapse.

Industrial scale cattle farming is a must to support the current demand and it exists because we can't care enough to renounce the pleasure of eating meat. It is always me, me and me. And the problem is always because the other, the other and the other.

Of course we can sustain a lot of more of people, but not with our mindset.
