I understand being skeptical, but there’s no reason it should be hard to believe…

You can have a healthy dose of both being informed and practicing self care. Being empathetic is also a good thing, actually.

I really thought this was fake. Wow!

I honestly can’t choose. I love too many of them. Some of my favorites are clefable, pikachu, vaporeon, palafin, armarouge, absol, meowscarada/sprigatito, grovyle, corviknight, ampharos, wooloo… just too many!

Tumblr is only good for extremely small and niche fandoms similarly to reddit. If I could mass exodus everyone from some of those smaller fandoms to an alternative like the fediverse I would, but most of them aren’t techy (or stubborn) so it’s difficult!

That’s awesome! What a cutie!

That’s sick. Not quite the same but reminds me of these two albino squirrels that lived in my childhood neighborhood. They stuck around for a surprisingly long time.

Preferably staying here. We need to keep growing Lemmy.

I haven’t seen anything like that, personally. I stick to my own communities and have had no issues so far. If anything it’s been leagues better than reddit because it’s so much smaller.

I gotcha. I think currently, you’d only get banned if they found out (which they can’t currently). If the app ever becomes more invasive client side, I’m certain it would cause a ban wave (and maybe a small riot) but for now, it’s not that risky.

You can get banned for third party clients? I’ve been using BetterDiscord for years now with no issues. I hate the direction of Discord though, I agree with everything else.
