Reading posts like this on a local trans community hurts so bad :(

Comments are even worse.

I ordered EEn which will last for 2 years for $97 CAD including delivery. I got injection supplies for FREE in this province too!

And… This woman will pay $50 for only shitty valerate every month and she will pay extra for needles and shit too.

They’re also anti-DIY like wtf is wrong with these people? They ruin each other’s lives…

We should groom them into switching to Lemmy or something. That person could be you too! Not everyone was born to be a nerd.

    Lemmy represents what the internet as a whole was like in the 90s. A wonderful place where people can have actual discussions on diverse topics without self censoring, algorithm games, and karma farming. Its only like that because genpop hasn’t come to shit all over it yet.

      One difference that Lemmy still has is the whole upvote system. 90s and 00s internet didn’t have that. To be fair, it was also much slower.

        90s and 00s also had forum owners and “moderators” with absolute, unchecked power. They could (and would) ban you for any perceived slight … or just modify your posts to make you look like an idiot or asshole.

        Even so, it was leagues better than the modern internet.
