Hey buddy. Where are you from?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm in London. Where are you from?

[–] GrammarPolice 3 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh cool. I'm actually British-Nigerian, but i live in Nigeria rn. What have you been up to this week?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Oh cool. It's been a quiet week for myself, new to Lemmy so it's been a good way to pass the time. You?

[–] GrammarPolice 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gotcha. I'm quite new myself. I got banned from reddit, and needed a new site to doom scroll lmao.

Would you consider yourself terminally online?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What did you do to get yourself banned? lol Myself, I go through phases where I spend tons of time online or as little as possible. Right now? Terminally online.

Basically, a group of black users were being racist to white individuals by making a bunch of generalizations, so i wanted to point out the hypocrisy by making an obviously racist generalization of my own. I commented, "All black people are disgusting", and was rightfully called out, but the irony was that they were doing something pretty similar calling white people colonizers and other things like that.

The result? I got mass reported and banned, and due to Reddit's inability to identify nuance in comments, my appeals were all for naught.

Anyways, what kind of life allows you the luxury of being terminally online when you choose lmao?

The Myth of Reverse Racism

I simply pick and choose when I want to be sociable outside. My friend group is understanding when I say I need a break to recharge.

So how long will you be in Nigeria?

[–] GrammarPolice 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

That introverted lifestyle. I like it

I'll be in Nigeria till I'm done with university. After that, maybe i might return to the U.K. I still have to figure out what to do with my psychology degree.
