Hobbies, sport, study, political/environmental/charitable interests... minimize your time spent online :)

My first thought on your country was Japan, but Mexico and Costa Rica apparently work a lot as countries too, and South Korea was also up there.
I can imagine being very lonely in South Korea - don't know a lot about culture in Mexico.
Apart from loneliness, do you enjoy your life and your spare time?

Reply to comment by !deleted11120 in What are your views on free speech outside of raddle? by NAB
Expressing or promoting ideas face-to-face in real life obviously needs to be done with some tact and judgement. However, being scared of 'verbal assault' makes you sound like a coward.
Online places exterior to this fragile safespace do exist where you can interact with people who do not share your opinions. You can remain safe while doing so, unless of course the words typed by anonymous strangers are capable of hurting you.

Large-scale rewilding would be the reward for "winning". Directly working towards rewilding doesn't sound like the best strategy to actually win, but could be valuable as a reminder of what people should be fighting for.

I think Raddle has the least freedom of speech of any platform I know - I think that reflects the site's overall intellectual fragility and the credibility of the average opinion on here.
Online spaces seem to have devolved into unthinking circlejerks - if you want to have any impact on the world, I suggest you venture out beyond your safespace, present your ideas to people who disagree with you and listen to their opinions in turn. I'm doing that.

Reply to Verified Twitter pigs brag about arresting woman who tried saving pets during hurricane by emma
I don't see any bragging. I think they're publicizing an unjust arrest just as you are.
Wayne County Animal Control officers had “serious concern regarding the practice of veterinary medicine without a license and the presence of controlled substances,” the agency said in a statement to CBS News.
“If we didn’t feel like anything was being done wrong, we would not have taken [the animals],” Wayne County Animal Services Manager Frank Sauls told the Goldsboro News-Argus. “All that will come out if the case goes to court… But that is for the courts to decide.”
I think you should be pointing the finger at Wayne County Animal Services.

Perhaps Raddle's usage is not typical.

Not many people have time to question/research things properly. For the rest, I think reading opposing viewpoints and, as you say, not trusting much helps.

Well, I do very little here. Perhaps you can handle the burden of someone occasionally expressing an non-hivemind opinion.

The least they could do is link to the survey. It's a disappointingly weak article.

You're asking this question on a site that bends over backwards to avoid dialog with outsiders and advocates violence against fascists.

Well, not everyone thinks Raddle's usage is more authoritative than the Oxford english dictionary's. Sometimes different perspectives can be enlightening/useful.

As I wrote in that thread.
The Oxford definition of bigot is:
A person who is intolerant towards those holding different opinions.
According to that definition, disagreement has nothing to do with it. Intolerance is the key word. It's not so complex is it?

Yes, of course I know what people on Raddle mean by bigot. I just quoted a dictionary.

The racists on Voat don't need my help coddling themselves, just as you seem to be doing quite well enthusiastically hiding from reality around here.
It's sad that you have so much to say about one another, but don't talk at all.
I prefer other websites were people are more free to speak their minds, and in turn learn to deal with the unpleasant thoughts of others.

When you're talking to someone you have judged to be bigot, there probably isn't a "non-biggoted" way to converse.

I suggest you spend a little time chatting with people on similar websites that cater to racists - I could suggest one or two. You're safe behind an anonymous user account and you might learn more about how they think.

I'm not referring to Anarchist_critic. The way you personally treated a much worse user, a blatantly racist, but respectful and sincere visitor from Voat a long time ago showed me how little interest you have in talking to those with differing opinions.
The whole site is a manifestation of that insular attitude, and I suppose that's exactly why active users like it so much. I appreciate some of the content that gets posted, but I'll never be a real part of the website, and wouldn't be surprised if you banned me right now.

Just my opinion.
The 'bigotry' is ill-defined and everywhere. Trying to forcefully ban it all means you exclude sincere people who make an effort to communicate with you. The way you've treated users in the past makes it clear that you see no worth in their viewpoints, but I do.

It would happen a lot more if you all weren't so ban-happy. But I know that's basically the whole point of this place...

Minimizing internet use doesn't mean to stop using it completely. Use the internet to find people that you can keep meeting in real life.
I think real human interaction is healthy even if people do not share many of your interests. If you have one interest in common, perhaps that's enough to begin a friendship.
Good luck.
