also got confused; this was posted 3 years ago but Hot sort seems to be pulling up a bunch of old posts

learning to use tone correctly and actively thinking about it (as opposed to passively using it like others do) can definitely be tiring since it's basically an exercise to your mind. the only way to get to the "passive use" state is to do it until it doesn't get tiring anymore.
however, the stressed->blunt part does sounds like a normal response, since that tone seems to convey your emotions at that time. if you're feeling stressed alot for this to be common, i would also try to manage stress better, like cutting up tasks into easily manageable parts (but don't cut them too small, as that can make them unmanageable and hard to keep track of!) and giving yourself time to destress by doing things you like to do (video games, shows, videos, music, ... hobbies in general, ...), but also don't overdo it and leave you actual responsibilities behind

Something like that, it lets you "support" your favorite creators and gives you access to subscriber-only posts
I think when people say ”Algorithms", they mean the massive time-sucking behemoths that power the infinite scrolling of Reddit, Twitter, Instagram, Tiktok, etc.
Platforms like Lemmy have comparatively simple algorithms that can visually amount to "show the highest upvoted posts from the past x time, deduct rank by y time, improve rank by z if ...”, but these are still algorithms.
people interpret tone as emotion, where a more serious tone conveys that you might be mad about something they think (true or not) they are not at fault for; a playful tone makes that "load" lighter and doesn't sound as "accusing" (for lack of a better word).
it's just a byproduct of language and culture that can be as difficult to overcome as it can be understood. lots of things could be easier if everyone changed, but when's the last time everyone agreed on something?
(at least this is what I've come to understand)
edit: also!! comments like "you are not responsible for others" are only half-true. while you shouldn't be bearing the weight of others, you can't ignore it completely! people come to expect a certain level of comradery when close to them. if you act without care to others, they will become distanced since they may not see you caring for their mental/emotional well-being (as one should, including you and I!).
a certain amount of care is required to keep eachother comfortable, this amount can vary and requires experimentation if you're not already accustomed. it'll be scary but it's the best way forward (in my option)
I think the reply by musk is paying-subscriber-only; when I saw someone post about it, it said something like "only the people who have subscribed to this person can view this tweet"
Maybe they were in need of only the highest-quality release covers that only you seem to possess?
I always like going through my uploaded tab to peek at what people are downloading.
It's usually music, but sometimes I'll see someone download some random obscure youtube archive from a dead or retired channel and I'll be glad to have served that for them.
I think sort listings come from the server, not Jerboa
$100 is a very strict budget, especially nowadays. You would have to be hunting for used parts on services like FB Marketplace, Offerup, Craigslist, etc. I started with an old workstation a few years ago (i5 3470, 4gb ram, 250gb hdd) and upgraded that for a while ( 4->20gb ram, gt 1030->1050->1060 (had to buy a seperate psu for this one), 1tb ssd+4tb hdd, etc). Having people you know also interested in PCs can also be important, since you can be first in line when they upgrade (that's how I got a 1070ti for $50 !!).
But I would really recommend getting a job when you can; money will come in like you've never seen before. If you get a $15/hour job (assuming you're in the USA, but really applicable anywhere) and work your weekends, that's $200 a week. You'll be good to get lots of upgrades or a whole new machine in not too much time. Even at $10/hr you won't be suffering for long.
