I use MSEdgeRedirect!

I love it!

Thank you. I think you're right. It must be so nice to be able to have a family one can love.

"Oh yeah, that's the shit! They're really loving me now!"

I'd call a horseologist and tell them to get over here right away, there's no time to explain

My instance already blocks those, otherwise I'd add those as well

LemmyNSFW (nothing against it, but I'm not here for that)

These are the only two

I left beehaw because I was being targeted by a user using gaslighting and lies.

When I responded to this user (I will admit, too strongly), the mods removed my comments, but left his initial lies and gaslighting up, even though I had reported them (and even messaged one of the admins directly -- it was actually a beehaw admin's actions against my comments.) To be clear, I understood the removal of my comments, but I did not understand why the user's lies and rudeness against me still remained.

I mentioned tumblr because it was where the information I was sharing had initiated, and I encouraged people to take the discussion there, since a productive discussion was no longer possible here. I never said I was moving there myself.

I then removed the rest of my comments and posts on beehaw.

I was already on tumblr, so I didn't "move from" Beehaw to there. I was also already on this account, so nor did I move here -- I was already here all along, where I've had no similar problems.

I saw a BBC documentary about a similar situation. People are being exploited on both sides of the phone line.

Incorrect. I challenge you to scour my post and comment history for any mention of Hamas or anything that would justify you asking such a question. (I'll save you some time -- you won't find it.)

Otherwise, we'll just assume you're deflecting.

The part about EXIF data is true, but they're very upfront about this, and they have a sticky post informing people about this and instructing them how to remove the EXIF data themselves. My take is that it's just a limitation of the site design, it's good that they inform people upfront, and removing EXIF data a useful thing for people to learn how to do regardless.

As far as privacy is concerned, I'd say that yeah -- they're very pro-privacy. You can still connect with people, though. I've met some people on raddle who I've actually chatted with off site. So I wouldn't say it's anything more than the privacy culture here.

The one thing that sometimes turns people away from raddle is that people on the site tend to have very well-read and carefully formed opinions, and they can sometimes come off as being aggressive and confrontative. But even the people who may come across like that at first are actually very empathetic, once you spend more time there and observe how they interact.

I'll just say this: I've personally not seen anything on raddle that would turn me away from using the site, and I've been there off and on since leaving reddit in June.

I have no doubt there are official confessions obtained via coercion including threats and possible torture.

I like the 196 on raddle, but I keep forgetting to use raddle

Lol gotta love these deflections and whataboutisms. I always wonder if you lot are deliberately deflecting, or if you're just incapable of engaging in any meaningful way.

This was a good read, thanks. I've known so many people who have separated from their parents, and every single one of them has a good reason. I've often wondered how the parents tell it from their side. I'm sure every single one of them was "loving" and "nurturing" by their own account, even the dad who couldn't accept that his son was gay, or the parents who perpetually and deliberately misgendered their daughter. I've known so many such cases, and sadly some have ended in tragedy.

Me, I've had good parents, but I have a brother who's an abusive asshole who I want nothing to do with, and occassionally I get the "he's your brother, you've got to love him" schtick from third parties. No. I really don't.

No one is obligated to stay connected with family who are hurtful, especially when it's the parents who were the ones who chose to bring you into this world. It's massively unfair for people to expect that we just tolerate, even love, abusive family.

It's true that I don't trust the IDF here, just as I wouldn't trust the SS in WWII. If you think that's farfetched, then I will hope you come to your senses.

This is also true. Any way you cut it, the IDF are the villains in this story.

They can also force confessions of terrorism! Pretty bold headline that's parroting IDF propaganda, if you ask me. Wouldn't say this article belongs in a news community.

"When I was a child, the large skeleton ripped through the fabric of space and devoured my siblings, and I turned out fine!"

This is in Minnesota. When I was a kid, I begged my parents to drive to see it. They rented a room at some motel in Bemidji and made a weekend of it. The highlight of my trip was seeing the huge Paul Bunyan and Babe statues.

I thought they were so great and it was like they came to life out of a book, but now that I see them again... holy shit lmao

I was having the same problem. Clearing my cache and logging in again seems to have fixed it.
