    Out of the loop.

    I’m always out of the loop when it comes to things happening across other countries.

    There were/are some really good Asian and Asian-American communities on Reddit that didn’t follow typical discourse. IYKYK.

    Some of those groups are replicated on Lemmy, but are completely empty of content.

    Until recently, TikTok was filling that role for me, but it seems it is starting to get more “appropriate” for American audiences as I think they are finally playing the game. Lots of “Jesus” and “white guy with microphone” popping up on my feed there now. The same thing happened to Youtube about 15 years ago so there’s nothing new under the sun.

    I’m kinda dying without an active Fallout community. I’m currently extremely addicted to 76 and I’m banned from Reddit. I miss having conversations about it and trading on r/market76 😭

      Fuck it make another reddit account dude, but do not argue/debate/give opinions on anything you can’t if you want to keep an account there.

      Do that, and don’t post on there either. It makes you a target. But if you try again and are very very deliberately careful you’ll be ok

      Only thing that sucks about that is you have to make peace with the fact that you can’t really be that social and have ‘fun’ on reddit anymore.

      It sucks I know. But unfortunately reddit is still a useful tool. So it makes sense keeping an account there that you use for searching and are careful.

      Make that community on our instance hilariouschaos.com my suggestion from there ? Bring those conversations and content from reddit by copying it and pasting it into the fallout community (if you decide to do it on our instance that is)

      I’m one of the admins on HC and we don’t care if you post stuff from reddit into a community you made. Obviously don’t plagiarize, but basically just share it on HC in your community. I mean why not ? What could it hurt ?

      I encourage you to try it and see what you get out of it. Think of it like an experiment and if doesn’t work that’s fine no big deal.

      Seriously think about it man.

      Hope you join us ! ❤️ chin up !

          fuck all right.

          I believe you I know they do that shit it’s weird man I’ve been permanently banned from Reddit eight times and I have an account there.

          But I’ve also changed my phone four times within the span of 4 years and another device I use also do you have an iPad or something that you can hook up to Wi-Fi doesn’t have to be fancy maybe get something from a pawn shop I don’t know I mean just giving ideas

            I may be okay actually? I just made a new account and haven’t been banned yet. Here’s hoping, though maybe using Reddit again isn’t the best idea. I’m just desperate haha.

    AITA/AmITheAsshole

    Really interesting to get varying approaches but often consensus on most relationship issues, even if they are fictional

    A lot of the communities I miss from Reddit exist here already, but they are mostly dead. Daddit; parenting; communities for my favorite sports teams; the community for my current city….

    The news, general discussion, and memes are all here. But the really niche stuff that I used to enjoy discussing with strangers are all gone.

        SavedYouAClick is a subreddit where users post news articles that have clickbait headlines, but will edit the title to include what the clickbait actually is, to “save you a click” by getting the gist of the headline without needing to read the article. Usually reserved for articles that either have an egregiously misleading headline, or are multi-page articles designed to maximize ad impressions on the reader. So post titles may be something like “New law may impact Chicago drivers soon | No new law, ‘left on red’ is still illegal”.

      Obligatory be the change you want to see. I post regularly to a few communities that don’t get many posts trying to keep them alive

    i kinda miss some of the chaos of the subs with rabid, unpredictable and paranoid users… like wallstreet bets… not so much to participate but for entertainment itself
