I know multiple IRL women who don’t share your complaints about Lemmy. Maybe people are shitty to you because you’re shitty to them.

No, the downvotes are because nobody was victimizing her here but she went off on a rant and called me horrible things that I don’t deserve to be called. Sexism can go in any direction and I don’t tolerate any of it.

Where can I see my total number of likes on Facebook?

We have that here too. FlyingSquid comes to mind.

Unfortunately, email solved the spam problem by becoming centralized AF. Now everything requires a “reputation”.

Stop posting on a public forum and go text your friends if that’s what you want.

How do I tell someone on the bus to check out this website?

After you

This comment is all over the place. Can you clarify what you are asking for? My summary of what you said is:

This is being censored on Reddit and Meta properties (Instagram, Facebook, etc.). The fediverse is proving its worth in the global class war. Don’t divide us with petty borders.

It’s being censored by most of the western internet, the Fediverse is proving it’s worth in this moment.

What the fuck are you even talking about

Gender is not inherently sexual, you’re the one making this weird.

Because that’s where all the users are. The “social” aspect of a “social” network. Anyone can host a forum but it’s useless without users.

If a social network is to take off, it must be accessible from mobile devices behind CGNAT (carrier grade network address translation).

Why the fuck does this emoji exist lmao

Sure they might exist but the ones you buy off of That Website never are.

Are you by any chance using flat Ethernet cables? Those are not to spec and are vulnerable to radio noise. Friends don’t let friends buy and use flat Ethernet cables.
