I disagree with this. You can see in many of his removals that he did not even give a reason, as there is none. Why did he remove the post about Luigi? He is certainly not a politician, nor is he a family member of one, afaik. What about the one of the blood of a backback of an Iranian girl? Is a backpack a politician? Does it represent politics? Are death children politics now?

But more important than that, ALL of the posts that that mod remove had had over 100 comments. If you go to the pics sub now, there are 0 posts left with that many comments. He removed ALL the engagement. As it is, engagement is the one thing that Lemmy needs, to keep it going. That is the #1 thing we need, engagement. And that mod is just removing all of it.

Pathetic.

@[email protected] , do you mind marking this as NSFW, please? You need to edit the post and check the “NSFW” section. I am unable to do that, even as a mod.

I had no idea what Loops was. Nice I guess, though short form content is just not something with which I want to engage.

Sadly, this community is not as active as I hoped it would be when I created it. We should seriously move away from for-profit and corporate social media, but the masses have not yet received the memo.

Thank you for posting!

Oh ya, asymmetric relationships are horrible. You did good in stopping it. See if you can remain friends with him. If you find that the friendship is also asymmetric, it is perfectly fine, and probably better for you, to look elsewhere for friendships.

Good luck brother.

As the other person suggested, look into Grindr. But also know that not everyone is a good person and is truthful. You should always practice safe sex. Look into PREP and always wear a condom. “Receiving his loads inside” is definitely something you should think twice.

I also have these bouts of depression. They come and go. What works for me is keeping busy. Just doing anything helps me. Just move. Laying in bed is the worst thing to do when that happens. This is my advice to him.

My advice to you is the following: Be there for him. That is all you can do. If you were physically close to each-other, I would suggest to just snuggle/cuddle. Human contact helps. But you are in a long-distance relationship, so that is a no go. Send him voice messages instead of chat? Let him know you like him. Let him know he is important to you. Let him know you are there for him.

Regardless, thank you for caring about him. Compassion, empathy and kindness are the best qualities anyone can have.

I liked watching wrestling just to see all the muscular guys… Also, in school, I crushed on a few guys.

Though when imagining a family, I always pictured myself with a girl. Seeing myself with a guy was just… weird and a little bit uncomfortable. I think that was internalized homophobia. When I imagine a “family” now, I definitely see myself with a boyfriend and not a girlfriend. In fact, I find the opposite now, picturing myself with a g irl gives me the “yikes, disgusting”.

The goal of the community seems slightly different. And also the community name itself.
