Kind of, but it’s not a miracle cure or escape. I tried exercising while depressed and I tried exercising after I learned how to manage depression. It never cured my depression but it is part of managing it. It’s part of a healthy life style, which is part of taking care of myself, which is part of not feeling like I hate myself and my life.
I keep going to the gym because I enjoy it and it’s an excellent way for me to vent emotions, no matter what my mood is.

I often think that we just happen to live in very large communities that are more or less the same as they’ve been throughout the history of our entire species. It’s made me feel a lot more connected to everyone around me because they don’t feel like strangers anymore, they feel like extended family, in a way.
But I still love flipping people off, I just don’t mean much by it. Like a gesture that says ‘wtf are you doing you idiot’
I don’t think it’s far fetched to call non-religion a type of belief but to compare them further than that is missing the point of atheism.
His last comment was about how Ukranians are nazis so idk what you are talking about.
Think about it… housing, medical care, transportation. These need to keep up with population growth. If growth is achieved through immigration, then you need infrastructure to support more people. I’m in Canada, immigration has been seen as a positive thing for a long time, but there is a resource squeeze right now and increasing immigration is seen as adding fuel to the fire.
We are trying to address those issues, but it would have been a lot better to put infrastructure in place before aiming to increase the population size.
Definitely not that simple. Immigration is good, but you need the physical and social infrastructure to manage it.
Generally speaking anyway… Have you been to reddit lately? The comments in the subs I used to go to are a mess, unhinged.
The more lemmy.world is down the more I use my alt instance. We’ll adapt.
It’s just a demonstration of the 90-9-1 idea
I think people who’ve only ever known reddit/instagram/twitter will find it dull, but this is still a relatively active place with quality users and mods.
The bigger and more reddit-like it gets the harder it will be to moderate and the more expensive it will be to run. Things are fine right now.
I still visit /r/ukraine and /r/combatfootage, but less and less lately and zero engagement. Propaganda has taken over the ukraine sub and the comments have become vile. Better discussion and analysis on /combatfootage. The /c/ equivalents are low traffic.
Otherwise I haven’t had any issues and feel better. I’ve been reading more, either reading the actual linked articles or library books/audiobooks. Every morning I ask siri ‘tell me the top news today’ and it reads me a 1-2 minute podcast from CBC. I might pop into ground.news while I do my morning business, and then during the day at work I’ll have a lemmy tab open.
The main problem is that I use reddit for work. I need to find another place, maybe stack exchange or some lemmy instances/communities. Haven’t really spent much time looking.
It was actually that I wasn’t on ‘All’. Still getting used to lemmy. I almost always browse Active or Hot, never all because it seemed kind of less quality to my eyes. Maybe it was the porn and I just forgot about it.
I tried hot. I tried top too. I’m on .world and ‘show nsfw’ is checked on.
?
Can you show me one? I’m genuinely curious because I have not seen any porn show up in my feeds. And I just specifically looked in all of them. I wonder if it’s a bug. Did you sign up recently?
Just need to add more users than we lose. Lots of good things ahead, I see a bright future here.
I’ll just piggy back onto this and say that downvotes come when people have generalized views and assume these are facts.
And downvotes my way are usually because I don’t care about people’s feelings on the internet.
