Sorry, it's been a tough couple of weeks and I was just frustrated. Layoffs finally got to me in the aftermath of the actors strike (leaderships reasoning, not mine because I actually saw what was going on internally).

I can't tell sometimes if I'm trading one echo chamber for another. Reality is just bizarre sometimes. I had someone arguing with me about code in a video game. I wrote the code almost 10 years ago. I know reddit was just as bad, if not worse for that "loudest persons right" way of commenting. Usually it gets mixed in with a dash of hive mentality.

I know those points are all loosely related, I'm exhausted after working insane hours through the year with no vacation just to be dumped before the holidays. I need to unplug for a week or two I think.

Edit: Wait, about the comment I replied to? Yeah my bad. I've been avoiding disagreeing with people directly after I got harassed several months ago. I was really happy with that person's comment, I was just a miserable prick at the time. I had to leave some communities and almost nuked my account when another lemmy instance unleashed their bots: every post I would walk into would be targeted and voted down into oblivion. You'd lose all visibility within a short period of time.

I'm not sure if there's been work done since to address this, but I totally understand if they're still not ready to tackle it. They are a volunteer crew after all. I should follow the repo on Github. Maybe there's some small stuff I could help out with while I'm looking for work.
