I said nothing at all that would be seen as a threat. All I did was share the article. I’m so glad I found this place. Reddit is trash.

    “It’s like you’re out of jail, but you’re still in jail,” Biggs says, speaking about his feelings after being released. “Now I’m more of a burden on my family. I’m not bringing anything to the table.”

    wow almost like he understands what millions of people go through every day because they had drug possession ten years ago and are caught in the parole-recidivism cycle

    Welcome! Need any help navigating Lemmy and the fediverse?

      I’d love to know more about the Fediverse! Particularly an alternative to LinkedIn. What do you think of Friendica?

        The alternative to LinkedIn is not using it because you are not a degenerate.

            Best place to find communities your instance may not already know about is this site

            (remote communities only federate over once a user subscribes)

            Make sure to have both English and Undefined selected in your profile settings (next release should fix this)

                There’s definitely more I’ve accumulated over the past couple years but those two come to mind first. There is also a tool that automates the new community federation process here if your admins participate.

                Feel free to reach out in the future if there’s anything else I could clear up.

        I think you’d be hard-pressed to find a LinkedIn alternative. It’s too business-oriented for anyone to care that it’s under corporate control. In some sense, that’s the whole point.

        My understanding of Friendica is that it’s supposed to fill a niche similar to Facebook. I’ve never used it though.

    I once got a warning for site rule 4 when I told a fetishist she shouldn’t be in a subreddit for minors regarding that fetish. Somehow that was suggestion sexual exploitation of minors. I suspect that user reported my comment out of retaliation to try and kick me off reddit. I didn’t appeal it because I figured i would just avoid that topic in the future and it was only a warning, not a perm ban or suspension.
