  • I have no idea. I’m a vanilla, semi-norm who came from Reddit, mainly because they banned me after 15 years of active and mostly chill engagement.

    I’m basically just a slightly opinionated guy who’s interested in what other people have to say on a variety of subjects.

    I’m only dimly aware of PieFeed. I like lemmy as it feels like early Reddit and I access it through the boost app on Android, which was the peak Reddit experience before they locked down the APIs.

    I’ve no interest in spreading myself over multiple platforms - I just want access to other humans via the path of least resistance.

    With this in mind, is PieFace better? And if so, in what way?







  • I was being a bit cunty and insensitive, in retrospect, so I deleted the post as it was knee-jerk comment that was shitty and unnecessary.

    It’s just that some of what passes for Mental Health issues in people I personally know can actually be attributed to natural (and indeed healthy) negative reactions to their environment (a job they hate, a society that doesn’t seem to care, a breakdown of personal relationships etc).

    That shit is in no way easy to resolve. I’d argue that, for those people, there is nothing actually wrong with them, more it’s the situation they’re in and in some cases a personal resilience deficit caused my various factors, some debatable some very real. I don’t think you can think yourself happy and I don’t think it’s a case of simply toughening up. However, to some extent, personally responsibility (avoiding the caffeine and all night gaming for one particular colleague) does play a part, which this particular person at work isn’t doing.

    Meanwhile another guy at work is seriously ill and he’s coming in. That’s why I found the comic initially jarring, due to a specific situation i’m dealing with. But, as I say, my comment was unnecessary and short-sighted.
