I’m fairly new to the fediverse, but I see it this way. If Threads integrates with the Fediverse then users will become accustomed to the content from Threads, which could cause more friction in the future if there’s a movement to defederate from Threads. I think it would just be easier to avoid all that in the first place. I also feel like if anyone really wants to see Threads content they could make an account there, and then everyone gets what they want. Then there’s all the downsides others are theorizing could happen, but they can’t be comfirmed until Threads actually joins the Fediverse.

I’ve had a similar experience. I’ve been trying to quit porn off and on for a while now. At one time I considered myself as practicing NoFap. I consumed all the introductory content you first come across, abstained from masterbating for varying stretches of time, and visited the subreddit fairly regularly.

I would say overusing porn can for sure have downsides, and abstaining from masterbating for a short time could help with getting out of the habit of using porn. The community just gets so much more weird and cringe from there, not to mention the violence that is fostered there which I wasn’t aware of. Maybe the forum was more hardline.

That video looks interesting too, thanks for sharing!

I’m having the exact same problem.

So true. I find it so disheartening seeing century old images of Canadian cities with street cars. I’ve even seen photos of small towns in New Brunswick that had street cars. Not only is it possible to do proper public transit nowadays, we could have had it all along.

As a fairly longtime lurker on Reddit now bought into Lemmy, I’m making it a resolution to break that habit and post/comment more. Thanks for the PSA!

Otherwise known as the C-suite executives. CEO, CTO, CFO, ect…

Could you share what that trade is, even vaguely? I’m curious what kind of job might be suited for someone with ADHD symptoms. I feel it might help me choose a career. No worries if not, and have a good one!

Thanks for the reply, that’s interesting. I’ve been on some construction sites and scaffolders definitely earn their pay. From experience, I think work with a physical component is easier to stay focused on, at least for me.

Thanks for the advice. If I change directions I’m leaning towards something in the realm of IT or electronics technician work. I’d like something with some sort of physical or at least hands on component, or something gameified like you deacribe with closing tickets.

That’s interesting, thanks for that explanantion. I definitely feel like being glued to my desk is something I’d like to avoid.

Maybe I’ll consider moving to Germany now, that could be a whole other adventure.
