I’ll often order stuff from Ebay/Amazon even though the shop is right next door. It’s partial anxiety but also mostly pure laziness.

Weren’t elders/shamans/gurus looked up to as sort of spiritual and worldly advisor/authority figures back then? Granted, it’s not the same as being a chief/leader, but they talked, and their community listened and generally followed their advice.

Explorers 1985! I love this movie to bits and never knew it was considered a flop until recently.

We’re advising her to be cautious, not advising her to call the whole thing off. What’s so wrong with that?

It’s quite possible that he is indeed a generous person, but still be careful. Truly generous people like that are very far and few in between, at least in my own experience, so most are usually that nice early on when they want something from you. Not trying to put him down, because we don’t know him… But be careful.

How long have you known him? If you two have only just met or met very recently then it’s very weird behaviour for sure. Heck it’s a little weird him being this forward so soon, if you did know each other only as friends before this.

Yep! I’ve known people to get banned for using far left terminology and with nothing threatening either being said. It seems if you piss off one of the mods on there on one of their bad days, then it can easily be game over for your time in that sub, or even your account. it’s that easy to catch a ban that you probably have less chance of catching a cold lmfao. Reddit has given the mods far too much power. I’m so glad for the Fediverse!

Ok I had a reply typed up here last night but I must have deleted it by accident :/ it was a post saying how cool it all is and thanking you for explaining it!

Yeah, they are getting a little too comfortable with the ban hammer over there. I’ve been reading threads of others that had the same thing happen to them. Soo glad I’m not alone and so glad I found this place!

I just looked up feddit.online, but what is it exactly? Is it a Lemmy instance or more a collection of different instances on one feed? I’m still new to the Fediverse and the whole thing so sorry if I sound ignorant.

ha mine is below average, didn’t stop them from banning me though. Someone probably thought it was too ugly to be real or something lmfaoo.

I was banned from Reddit for posting NSFW pics of my own body in the right adult subs, and appealed and they still did not unban me, so here I am! I miss the friends I made there but I don’t miss the site… they are too ban happy over there and it was becoming buggy.
