  • I’m on disability. It is illegal to discriminate against those with disability. I have had multiple landlords immediately change their mind upon learning I’m on disability. One woman even said sure, come over with the deposit tomorrow. When I showed up she had cops there and said In was trying to trespass. Explained the deal to the cops and they left but the woman said she doesn’t trust people on disability. I’ve had other people actively say in postings that they will not rent to people with disability.

    I’ve reported at least 10 people over the past 4-5 years. Slam dunk situations with recorded phone calls admitting bias. Emails doing the same.

    Nothing ever happened to any of them.





  • Well yeah they’re going to exist everywhere. But with Lemmy you have some accountability. On reddit you have none.

    As for bans with no notifications, that’s not on the mods. That is on the developers of Lemmy and why so many people are frustrated with them. They’re ignoring admins, have no real timeline on feature development, and aren’t focusing on major issues that have been reported. The Lemmy Devs keep dragging their feet and if they’re not careful it could end up with someone making a lemmy competitor that still works with Lemmy. I know I’d go straight for it as a mod and as a user.






  • I use it fairly regularly for extremely basic things. Helps my ADHD. Most of it is DnD based. I’ll dump a bunch of stuff that happened in a session, ask it to ask me clarifying information, and then put it all in a note format. Works great. Or it did.

    Or when DMing. If I’m trying to make a new monster I’ll ask it for help with ideas or something. I like collabing with ChatGPT on that front. Giving thoughts and it giving thoughts until we hash out something cool. Or even trying to come up with interesting combat encounters or a story twist. Never take what it gives me outright but work on it with GPT like I would with a person. Has always been amazingly useful.

    Past month or two that’s been a complete dream. ChatGPT keeps forgetting what were talking about, keeps ignoring what I say, will ignore limitations and stipulations, and will just make up random shit whenever it feels like. I also HATE how it was given conversational personality. Before it was fine but now ChatGPT acts like a person and is all bubbly and stuff. I liked chatting with it but this energy is irritating.

    Gimme ChatGPT from like August please <3



  • I started using reddit in 2011. Was nuts to see the changes it underwent. A lot of them bad.

    Since leaving reddit during that protest, been more than happy to call Lemmy home. Especially when I go back to browse reddit occasionally and see how incredibly toxic and negative it is all the time. I don’t know if I was blind to it before or if it got worse. Every comment thread is awful. They focus on the negative of everything and are just bitter and angry.

    Place sucks ass.

    To be fair, it also says if you remember this movie. So you’re adding on at minimum 4-5 years before you’re old enough to start remembering this movie at all, much less clearly. Then there’s the wording that says “about time”. To your not quite I instead offer a simple “Quite.”
