What's not a sign someone's an asshole, but is often misinterpreted as one?

Those with parents who hold opposite political views than you, how do you go about disagreeing?
To be more specific, my parents raised my siblings and me to “respect” them, saying "yes sir, and “no ma’am” to everything they said. Spankings, all of that. Typical super conservative evangelical parents. Before I learned better, I was that way too. I went to college and since then have embraced the left more and...
What do you guys think about FreeBSD?

what messaging app do you use?
So here’s the thing, every time I try to move away from Facebook messenger I run into the same problem, nobody else in my friends or family actually want to use a secure, private messenger app like signal or telegram, my wife, my parents, my in-laws, my friends they’re ALL on Facebook and they will never take signal...

Following Mastodon accounts from Lemmy?
Hey, folks. I’m new to this whole Fediverse thing. One of the things I’ve been most excited try out is the whole cross platform aspect, where you can follow peertube/mastodon/lemmy accounts from the other sites. I have my reddit account mostly switched over. I went through and found (I think) all of the communities I follow...
Issue with nsfw material in feed
So this post from lemmynsfw.com just popped up in my feed. It is not tagged as nsfw although it obviously is. I have tried attaching a screenshot but Jerboa throws an error. I have nsfw material turned off in my account settings, so this wouldn’t happen if the post would be tagged properly. I’m using Jerboa. I could just ban...

I’m male aged 19-22, I have an older brother about 4-5 years older (giving age ranges for better anonymity). Relationship is… not good (read: it’s terrible, horrifyingly terrible, arch-nemesis). How about you?...
Do people become less of a twat as they age?
Or should I lose hope in humanity completely now?
Have you ever gotten scammed, package stolen, or been a victim of fraud in any way?
I just got my package of new earphones from Best Buy, and the box was fucking empty. I mean there is the box and instruction manuals and charging cable, but the actual earphones aren’t there. They’ve used Shipt (which is like a doordash but for packages) but the box was inside another layer of packaging which was supposedly...
what email provider is best
Where is our debate instance?
Any instances out there mostly facilitating moderated debate? This could be a big deal. Especially missing great communities on Reddit like CMV, Debate*, *101, etc
