    • Γαμώ το σπίτι σου (literally: fuck your house) I guess this basically means to fuck your whole family
    • Γαμώ τη Παναγία σου (literally: fuck your Saint Mary)
    • Γαμώ το Χριστό σου (literally: fuck your Jesus)
    • Να μου κλάσεις τον πούτσο (literally: fart my dick) I guess this means "I'll fuck you from behind"
    • Πάρ'τα 3 μου (literally: take my 3) The 3 is implied for balls, and they're 3 instead of 2 because it's more manly I guess lmao
    • Κλάσε μου τα 3 (literally: fart my 3) A combination of the previous two
    • Αρχίδι (literally: testicle) You can actually call someone a testicle in Greek
  • People have been speaking out a long time about the shit education system we use in most countries (of the West at least), and pretty much nothing has been done, it's still the same assembly line "education" that pumps out kids that are good at memorizing and solving problems without knowing what they are actually solving.

    Social media has also had a terrible effect for people's attention spans and analytical capabilities, and no meaningful restrictions have been put in place.

    People have stopped reading books and long/difficult content, because there are much easier alternatives nowadays that their brain naturally goes for due to instant gratification. Also because of having less time and energy to devote after working and being stressed out for the most of the day.

    The future is scary indeed, but it's important to note that we led ourselves here by constantly shoving our problems under the rug.

  • You say that about "woke" people and lgbt (for some reason), but I've seen so many conservatives who can barely put together a sentence.

    What you may be noticing is that younger generations in general are less literate and use way more slang both irl and on the internet, that's not limited to "woke" people and different sexualities than yours

  • (though the last did not make it out before the attack on education)

    I didn't get that, what do you mean?

    it's a little less sticky here, more rising and falling going on than most places

    How easy is it to go from working minimum wage to a well paying job if you can't afford education to acquire a specialization?

    Also say you go bankrupt and homeless because of some bad luck with your health leading to astronomical hospital bills. Is it even possible to recover from that and get back to an average life quality when covered with debt?

  • This is a great post bringing up some serious controversial issues and discussing them in a civil way despite the personal attacks and disgusting comments you received, this is setting a very good example for what the vibe of the instance should be.

    My personal opinion about hexbear in particular, is that while there are multiple cases of people being straight up trolls, replying in bad faith, lowering the quality of the conversation by name calling, putting labels on people, and saying really mean shit, there is also a very large part of their community that discusses politely even in difficult topics, and provide very good opinions and facts backed up by multiple sources.

    I'm also a fan of 'Theory Thursday' that a user is doing on their instance where he provides a reading material about communism and then they discuss it in the comments.

    I think they have a lot to offer, and after deliberately choosing to bear through some of their annoying users and not to block them to avoid creating my own echo chamber, I ended up seeing their good side and changed a lot of my views about things thanks to them.

    That said, I think that the instance should enforce some rules strictly and ban users that ruin the image and message of the rest. I noticed that some of them aren't interested in being federated and would rather be left alone, if the rules don't end up being accepted and they continue as they do then I think it's sensible to defederate with an instance that wishes to stay disconnected.

  • I'm talking about the entirety of Lemmy, not just your instance

    I also love the privacy/FOSS content, it's just that Reddit left a huge hole for me with normal people content that I hope to see more of here in the future

  • It definitely would be to me if there was more diverse content, I usually stop scrolling after seeing the same news articles reposted over and over again, posts that have been in my feed since yesterday, and one too many posts about Linux/FOSS or whatever.

    I still love it for what it is, but it can't keep me interested for as long as Reddit did yet.

  • A bit of hyperbole I think, though I know my friends much less than I would like and I wish I'd be more comfortable speaking openly with them and learning about their life.

    Not sure if it's a personal thing, a social thing, or both, but I just find that extremely easier with a partner and have huge difficulty doing otherwise.
