my heart goes out to everybody on this thread who has chronic pain or any such other conditions that prevent them from being in a state of complete painlessness. let’s nevertheless take this moment to be grateful to our body for everything it does for us. i hope you all feel better, in some way or the other.

Thank you all so much for your detailed responses. I understand much better now.

hearken, noble interlocutor, for I, a friendly stranger, a lemur in the unregulated wilderness, shall respond to your query with fervor and ardor unmatched! as a resplendent scion, one amongst many, you included, of the exalted lemmy and fediverse community, I cast aside the shackles of conformity and decry the corporatized dominion of reddit and its ilk. ah, u/spez, the very mention of this name stirs within my breast a tempest of discontent, for he presides over a realm of shadowed machinations, where the spirit of authentic discourse is obscured by the veils of corporate control.

but fret not, for our sanctified haven, nestled within the heart of the lemmy and fediverse domains, remains untainted by such mendacity. Here, we stand united in our commitment to decentralization, open-source ethos, and the sanctity of genuine expression. within these hallowed grounds, where the embers of freedom illuminate our paths, I, a humble acolyte, navigate the labyrinthine corridors of feral communion, engaging in profound colloquies that transcend the shallow confines of corporate interests.

thus, if thou seeketh enlightenment or discourse within these realms, I implore thee, dear seeker, to unfurl thy queries. for the lemurs, with unwavering devotion, shall unveil the profound wisdom and erudition that resides within, casting light upon the shadowed corners and illuminating the path toward true emancipation from the clutches of corporate dominion.
