  • I don’t really know anything about the situation you cited.

    For any community hosted by a corporation like reddit, the answer has to be pretty much: no discussion of self harm in the first person will be tolerated.

    For communities hosted in the fediverse it’s more complex. If I were an admin, I wouldn’t allow a community to discuss self harm in the first person on my instance for a variety of reasons but most of them boil down to: Mods just don’t have the skills, experience, and resources to discern between what is an appropriate or inappropriate discussion or comment.

    While a safe place for this type of discussion could potentially be therapeutic in some way, the potential for harm is just too high.





  • I’m not a psychologist but I suspect there’s something amiss here.

    Like a lot of these people if he steps back from his loyalty to Trump, he’s kind of admitting that he’s partially responsible for what’s happened.

    Clinging to this shaky narrative of how this is actually a good thing allows him to offload the guilt.

    I think this might be “delusional” in the clinical sense.

    Over time the belief becomes more entrenched. Something like muscle memory but a thought pattern. It will then become the basis for even nuttier thoughts.

    It’s sad for him, it’s sadder for her, it’s even sadder for their kids who might me next. It’s just shit all the way down.









  • Like any analogy, it doesn’t perfectly map to the complex issue being analogised (?), but it’s not as absurd as you’re making out.

    The architecture for plugin support is not free. Even if no plugins are active the platform is built to support all the extra nonsense.

    lighttpd is the leanest webdav implementation i can think of. Obviously it doesn’t have sync and sharing and permissions, but it’s an interesting point of reference demonstrating how over engineered nextcloud really is.

    If you’re a fan, and want all of this stuff bundled together then fine, have at it. As I said up top, I am using it but I dislike it immensely.
