You've got to counter the counterculture by becoming what the counterculture was countering to become the new counterculture.

@lnxw48a1 I don't know why anyone would trust facebook with that. It's just increasing yet another place that holds the nude pic. Must be great for the person that oversees this program though!

Unless you're prepared for a bunch of strangers to see you in the nude... seriously don't take photos like that. It's a big risk.

@ninjawedding This only works if you know someone or have the know-how/money/time to set your own up... I imagine that it's not so simple that you can just set an instance up on the spot. You have to keep on top of it and know how to code. There are times when new changes cause things to be buggy too. Then what do you do?
While I like the decentralised mentality where people have their own instance, I don't think it is the solution... that it would work well in reality. Most people aren't the tech-type so you would limit yourself. I came here not having a friend here... so where was I to go but one of the big instances that got mentioned? I didn't know about the fediverse then. People had to explain it to me. Perhaps the fediverse already works as it's going to. Some people will branch off into their own, and others will remain on one of the bigger instances.
I like to encourage people having more than one instance myself. I'm on a few although this is my main. It has come in handy when things went down.

I say this as someone who has had this happen to me a number of times without realising it. I fell into the trap, and felt much worse for it. It's not healthy to take on the responsibility of how someone else thinks or feels. Just for something you said, or because you reminded them of something. I have no control over how someone feels/thinks ultimately... how they will take something I say. I can only take responsibility for how I feel and think, to guide myself. I can only try to not upset others, but sometimes that can't be avoided if you want to speak your truth, to speak your mind. To set your boundaries with others. Or if you are unaware of something.
It is worth keeping in mind that you are responsible for your own thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It's not easy to take control of it... heaven knows I've tried and lost it. Just as others around you are responsible for their own thoughts, feelings and behaviour. When people start to take control more for themselves, and stop blaming anyone else when it falls on them... the better we will all feel. A lot of pain comes from the beliefs that we have internalised through past experiences... and no one else can change those for us. Only we can. It is true that we can be deceived, that we can believe a lie and learn bad habits... but that is our responsibility to sort through and resolve. We can't just blame others because a belief we hold gets triggered, and we are set off. That's not fair on them.

@lain Pasty brought all her friends to the instance, and they're like... "It's better than your instance!" :^)
-
One of humanities greatest qualities is perseverance in the face of shortcomings and obstacles. Even when it seemed impossible to go on... we kept going against all odds.
Even just a little spark of hope can be all it takes to open our minds to the possibilities that we can go on. That living isn't as impossible as we believe it to be. That we can create or gain what we want out of life, or something close to it.

@canadianglen @maiyannah
Agreed. Better to take a break from listening to that which is what I do. I let the feeling pass, and then carry on as before. Talk to the people that help to build up your motivation, and the ones that don't will usually not matter.
