  • I’ve been using a computer on an almost daily basis for over a decade now, and before that I used one whenever I had the opportunity because I’ve loved computers since I was a kid. I’m 30 and have carpal tunnel in my mouse hand, not bad enough to get it surgically fixed, but I wear a wrist brace pretty much 24/7 at this point to keep the pain under control.

    That said I agree with your point about using whatever you’re comfortable with completely, just wanted to throw my own anecdotal experience out there for others to see. Everyone’s different and what’s fine for you or me may not be for others.






  • Do you not spend at least half of every day being angry about how much capitalism sucks? Filthy shitlib, you’re no better than a right winger /s

    It’s no wonder the right is on the rise all around the world, they don’t have “purity tests” the way a lot of left wingers do. They don’t give a shit, if you support the cause then you’re one of them.

    But the left? “Oh you don’t 100% support everything I want? Guess I’ll just not vote because both sides are just as shitty”

    To clarify, I’m an NDP voter which is the left most party in Canada.





  • Just to add onto this comment, it’s thought that the Sun is slowly getting hotter and more energetic as it gets older and in approximately 1 billion years, the Sun will be hot enough to render the Earth uninhabitable for life as we know it.

    In approximately 5 billion years, the Sun will reach the end of its life and expand into a red giant, swallowing up Mercury, Venus and potentially Earth in the process. Interestingly, once the Sun reaches this phase of its life, it could potentially warm up some of the outer moons enough for them to have liquid water, if they can hold onto an atmosphere of course.

    Someone please correct me if I said anything wrong, I’m just a casual space nerd and not a professional astronomer.


  • That’s completely fair, I don’t begrudge anyone for using .world, that’s a very good reason to use .world tbh. There are other stable instances though, and I’m gonna shill for my own instance, the .ca admin is top tier and very transparent with the userbase. They straight up said -

    “The community is what makes this happen. IMHO any major decision that impacts all of you, should involve all of you.”

    Edit: This was said in the thread about potentially refederating with hexbear. I’m sure they knew it would be an extremely unpopular opinion to refederate with that shithole but they still sought out the communities opinion rather than making the decision on their own. Massive respect for doing that, and they abided by the communities wishes to not refederate with them.

    Rare to find an admin like that IMO, .ca is where it’s at.


  • Move to a different instance. Honestly, .world is too big and has too much influence. I get most people just wanna join the biggest instance but tons of other instances federate with .world so you can still have the content without the majority convening on one instance and giving them most of the power.

    What would happen if .world went down? Tons of accounts and communities would be lost, people need to spread out to different instances instead of trying to make .world reddit 2.0.

    Edit: just saw you’re not on .world, that’s my bad. But my point still stands.
