I'd be wary about using a translator, even if you use one that accounts for grammar and double meanings like deepL. Tho that's based on a comment I saw from game developer Katsuhiro Harada. He says he prefers English speaking players just type in English so he can translate himself cause oftentimes the player will translate something incorrectly and confuse him. All in all it really depends on who I guess.
I've noticed that a lot of ai slop exists in dedicated instances, so the first answer is to just block those. Dunno of blocking whole instances also blocks cross-posts from said instance but it's the first step in the journey of 1000 miles.
Bots tend to have flair stating they're bots, which makes them easier to block. And since lemmy preaches open-source like gospel, you can probably write some optional code for specific lemmy clients that auto blocks that stuff for you
okay looking for stuff to verify this was not only unreasonably difficult, but when I found this I get to thinking I might've been thinking of grease pencils this whole time. Also I did find something about crayons made before 1970 having lead, but what DIDN"T have lead back then?
I thought the "Nice guy" thing was some bullshit where if you do something nice, you deserve to get something good in return, and not getting anything in return is "disrespectful" which sets off those nIcE gUyZ and leads to them insulting and berating whoever they help.
Also that creepo mentality would be a valid reason to feel uncomfortable to ask for help
Just want to add in terms of all the suggestions: remember that alternative can also mean "in addition to" as well as "instead of." people wanting instead-ofs will run away from alternatives quicker, which radically hinders the "build it and they will come" momentum that these sites need to better alternatives in the long run
I'd argue that some of the censorship bills the republican party's been tryna push out strengthen piracy, since there making tons of stuff unavailable for people because fuck them in particular
people who hate Mary Sues generally hate women in general.
Also society makes writing women difficult because they can't be too flawed lest they become characterized by that flaw. and they can't be too perfect, even if that perfection is an obstacle to their end goal like Saitama in One Punch Man.
In the US, some people look for "alternative medicine" out of fear that pharma companies are trying to "mind control them with unnatural products" or some shit. I'm not sure the exacts, but it relates to paranoia around artificially grown substances and one or two instances where genetically modified organisms (GMOs) caused disturbing mutations. A lot of this alternative medicine involves essential oils, which are plant based oils made from like one singular plant mostly used for vaporizers and hot baths, which is why it gets dismissed as "hippy stuff." But some of those treatments aren't entirely farfetched, and some even stem from ancient Wiccan practices.
I'm guessing they don't have weed or CBD in your country?
You can also look into some "essential oil" hippy readings to find shit for anxiety, like filling your living space with lavender burning. I don't know how you would get such herbs out there but it's worth looking up

ask him if he's heard about the latest CEO shooting, and point out how it ISN"T Brian Thompson's cathartic death
