    To start, I’m sorry you had to go through that. My spouse and I had similar experiences while trying to conceive.

    Loss is not funny to most people due to the contrast, but because of the sheer audacity of it’s existence. The gaming webcomic that it was a part of had already run for years, focused around 1-dimensional characters making low-brow jokes and silly violent scenarios centered within mid-2000s “randomness”. Suddenly, in 2008, the creator releases Loss, a manipulative, tone deaf strip about one of the worst physical and emotional traumas imaginable, shocking readers and earning infamy. Basically, it’s a meme because it’s so fucked. It’s why people who share it only refer to the work superficially by name or pattern, rather than by content, almost like a tragedy.


  • Which is fine! The FOSS options are solid.

    Personally though, I had tried most Lemmy apps on Android before Sync came out, and found the experience to be lacking. Honestly, I was close to bailing on Lemmy entirely, assuming it just wasn’t for me. Sync was exactly what I needed in terms of UI and organization, and I’m happy to pay the dev for the work they do on it.
