Huh, there are some filtered slurs in there I've never heard of before! I guess this probably isn't the place to ask to whom they apply and how, though. Still, the list isn't as long as I expected, and doesn't seem to apply to profanity so much as just offensive slurs. I feel like the "b-word" is a little bit of a stretch, but I can appreciate the intent there.
In a few threads now where someone typed an expletive, the post gets censored and it just says removed where the word should've been.
I'm trying to link to a comment, but when I check the link, it keeps pointing to my response to them. Seems like some other lemmy quirk, but maybe it'll work for you
In another post, someone tried to say "resting removed face" but it came out "resting removed face"
edit: well that's awkward, when I tried to write b i t c h, it did it to my comment here. So it is a lemmy.ml thing?
I think it's important to bear in mind that some of those things are what neurotypical folks, I guess you could call them, use to convey interest or disinterest. Eye contact is a way to express interest, and helps to show one is intently listening to the speaker. Conversely, frequently glancing away is kind of the body language equivalent of giving short "uh huh" type answers when one is trying to disengage from a conversation.
My point isn't that you should feel bad about struggling with these nuances; I just think it's worth mentioning that some of those negative reactions you may have experienced just has to do with expectations in body language. It's not that someone who's neurodivergent is being an asshole, it's just that they're sending out signals we're otherwise used to interpreting as disinterest, and that is (often) off-putting.
Again, it's not something to feel bad about, it's just communicating on different wavelengths so-to-speak. Sort of like a language/culture difference.
That clean OS is really the reason I've been on pixels for a bit, even though I'm mad they removed the audio port. I've been on Google Fi for a bit now too, though. I wonder if it would be tough to stay there with graphene. My service has been so much better and my bill so much lower than other providers, it'd be hard for me to switch off that.
That's good to know. I think when I tried it before, I ran into issues signing into multiple devices at once. Chances are, I just got the apps confused in memory though. Thanks!
Coincidentally I was just listening to a podcast episode asking this very question. If anyone here used to listen to Reply All, it's the new podcast from PJ. Only a couple episodes out, but this is titled "What's going on with Elon Musk?" and talks about him, social media, and the convergence of the two. Podcast is called Search Engine, and I think it's on all the usual platforms.
...this post kinda reads like an AI-generated plug, but I just really loved Reply All, and am hoping this fills that niche for me.
My friend group uses google the same way apple users use imessage. The implementation has changed many times over the years (google chat, sms integration, hangouts chat, whatever), but it's always basically been the same thing and it's usable from any device. That's my main complaint about ~~signal ~~ and telegram: if I'm at home, forget using my stupid tiny phone, lemme do it from my PC that I'm probably on anyway.
edit: tried to strike out signal, but it's ignoring the formatting I guess.
It's worth keeping track of the universal unreal vr mod in development. I realize this post says "yet", and this is still in development, but they've mentioned a release this year and it should open up a ton of great games.
Man, I haven't played through Myst since... the original Myst. I heard that Firmament was a bit of a letdown, but I really should go back and play Myst in VR. Thanks for the reminder!
You can, and I'm doing that right now. Logged into lemmy.ml through their site. However, I can see how one might be hesitant to log in through a 3rd party like this. It does look really nice, but I do wish it had a light mode as well.
This seems to be a pretty popular thought, both in this thread and many others discussing Lemmy. I'd put real money down that the 3rd party apps will get this going, but for actually using the website on a PC, I'm imagining it'd be up to the devs/admins of whatever Lemmy instance you're using.

Thanks for giving the best answer here!
