TL;DR - Lemmy's userbase compare to Reddit just feel more angry and it so offputting when asking a question and getting an answer that sound like their pissed off. Feels oddly worse than Reddit.

Honestly, I want to like Lemmy as I want to try not use Reddit as much. The thing that is holding me back is I hate the users on Lemmy which their often passive aggressive and really snarky. I know Reddit does have those people but I always seen more them on Lemmy where I barely used it as much.

I asked on AskLemmy community if there's any Gen-Z community around, ideally just talking about nostalgia and stuff like that. Nothing malicious at all. Then got a angry reply saying "Fuck Gen-what, just join community and post!" and telling me about generation are there to "divide" people. Apparently, me asking community which mainly be me talking about cartoon and games I grow up with is evil.

If the tone was at least "This may not matter as much and you find it better picking any community that in your best interest" then I'm be alright, it the way they seem pissed at me for even asking it like I'm an idiot which gets to me. When I told that person to calm down and stop being snarky, I got reply from other users saying they wasn't.

Might stick to Reddit for now. I know it not great but it in my experince isn't as easily pissed off and is actually bareable to scroll for awhile. I hate talking bad about Lemmy as I really want to like it but I just hate the userbase so much that it feels pointless to even properly use it as much.

For context, I want to teach myself Graphics Design as I had dropped out of college copule years ago for personal reason but still want to learn it.

I have heard from few people online that they have got Affinity running with Bottles or Wine. I really want to use less of Windows whereas possible but I'm unsure how well it performs on Linux and if there are a better alternative from Affinity and Adobe in general.

I just got Huenicorn installed on my Linux desktop. Been struggling to get hue bridge to sync.

1. I opened the huenicorn executable
2. Typed my Hue Bridge's IP Address
3. When I'm at the API Key screen, I pressed "I don't have credentials yet"
4. It tells me to press the central button on my Hue Bridge and I have one minute to press "Register new user". Tried it several times with no luck.

The Hue Bridge doesn't seem to be an issue as today I got my light strip to sync to it.

I just ordered an dreamcast on eBay and eventually want to get CRT monitor to try out the VGA as well as I have an OSSC which has VGA inputs.

Was originally thinking of getting the official VGA box until I saw the compassion video of the crushing black.

I'm planning to soon get the RetroTINK 5x to play both PS2 and GameCube which I may get the component switch-box to switch input without having to unplug and plug the input again. For that, I need to get an regular component cable which I was wondering if cheap ones would do or if I should try find a specific cable to get best image quality.

I remember it was made around early 2010s and was exclusive to the CBBC website.

It was a parody of Mama Do The Hump by Rizzle Kicks.

Only want to find it just so my brain doesn't keep telling me it's fake memory when I did indeed remember hearing it a few times. Nostalgia is a bitch I guess..

I know this is a double-edge sword and I can see why some would disagree on this but I mean it's a 'unpopular opinion' so I going to say it anyway

For me, I found discussing about one on the Fediverse is lot like talking to the wall dispite having hashtags. I felt like I can't talk about my comfort-artist as much. Reasons why people still use Twitter dispite Elon Musk made it identical to Gab & Trust Soical is there's content creator and celebrity there which is easy to get updates from there.

In theory, I should be alright with Threads but not as excited as it has some moderating issue such as LibsOfTikTok known for spreading Transphobia and pushing the narrative that all trans people are groomers. If this wasn't made by big company like Facebook, Admins of various instances would defederated straight away until they take moderation seriously.

Better alternative would be making an instance which is primarily for music artist or well-known content creator so anyone who isn't fond of that culture can simply mute/block the instance and move on.

I don't really have the money to do self hosting which otherwise, I would do it.

The sort of videos I will make is

• Let's Play / Gameplay Footage
• How To
• Vent video

If possible, I would want the instance to be LGBTQ+ friendly

One of the thing I hated about that game is mostly makes clothes which is full-body only and made top/bottom feature useless.

This is a collection of conversion of full outfit been made into top/bottom outfit so you can mix them more.

I'm not sure if there is news for music so I thought I might as well as set it up if there isn't any.

This is more for Mastodon/Misskey based instance but to join in, you tagged @StanFediverse@chirp.social and follow it to join in.

I don't know if it would take off but thought I just mention it here!
