I don’t blame you. All that’s available nowadays for men to reach out is absolutely inundated with horrible horrible people and ideas. This is meant to be a space where those people aren’t allowed to fuck it up for the normal people who just need someone to talk to.
Ah well, unfortunately the community name is set, there’s no changing it after it’s created. Maybe I should’ve made it more searchable but hopefully we can spread it by word of mouth enough where it’ll take off. Also I kinda wanted it less intimidating clinical sterile sounding and more just a homey place where people can feel safe to talk openly, just a li’l reprieve from the outside world.
Connect is wonderful! Posting from that. I don’t know if they have an iOS version but I’m on Android. Very much like RiF, feels familiar
You can share them to fellow humans here now /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip
Well if you give up before you start just because the existing options are shitty then that makes you part of the problem, doesn’t it?
Oh shit, thank you, I knew I forgot something
Yeeah agreed. So this is specifically not gonna be about that and if I see any of that shit it’s getting nixed… I just want all these guys who have no where to turn to to…well, have somewhere to turn to. Each other.
Too bad for them I made one
The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.
Edit: No idea what I’m doing but /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip
I’m here to talk if you need an ear man, I understand you and it sounds like you’ve been through your own personal brand of shit
Edit: Made a com where you can talk more freely without judgement /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip
If you really honestly don’t understand why what you said was horrible I’m willing to have a conversation with you if you want to DM me to talk about it. For starters, men feel scared and uncomfortable because their serious problems will get made light of just like you did. Or told to “man up”. Which I imagine was on the tip of your tongue
This response is why men feel scared and uncomfortable opening up. You are a part of the problem. For your male family members’ sake, I hope you check in on them instead of just being sexist online.
Alternate title “Men so starved of sources of support they resort to talking to AI”
Edit: have started a new com for men to talk to each other instead of AI /c/reprieve@lemmy.zip
Consent. If you see a woman in her swimsuit in public it’s because she wants you to. If you see a woman in her underwear in public it’s because she wants you to. If you see a woman in either when she DOESN’T want you to then she’s likely to have the same reaction. Same as dude’s in swim trunks. Public? Fine. Walk in on changing? Likely to be a bit “ahhhh!”
RIP home server, you will be missed
When I was a kid we once had a snow storm so bad it took out the entire (small) town’s power. People huddled up in the mayor’s house because he had a working genny. When the adults had to go out they had to wear goggles or your eyes would start freezing in your skull. Yaaaa Minnesota
I’d take single digit temperatures over 80+ even, let alone 100+, that’s insane, I’m northern born so I start melting around 80, I would die at 100. Hell I’d take double digit negative temperatures only over triple digits
People have a right to exist and society has a responsibility to care for those who cannot work. The whole point of society is to ensure the health and well being of their members as a WHOLE. If a society cannot or will not care for their elderly or infirm then that is a failed society.
