Reply to can some one pin the esoteric steps to embeding an image in a post to the top of this forum. i keep losing the grimoire i keep mine in by I_got_killed_one_time
I can leave it in a comment here, but someone else will have to make a pinned post about it.
Step 1: Upload your image to this forum.
Step 2: In a text editor, paste the following:
[![]()]()
Step 3: In the set of brackets after the exclamation point, type whatever you want the name of the image to be. This isn't really important, you can type any text you want here.
[![keytar]()]()
Step 4: Open the image you uploaded in a new tab, and copy the part of the URL after https://jstpst.net . It should start with a forward slash. Paste it in the first empty set of parentheses.
[]()
Step 5: Copy the URL of the post itself (not the direct link to the image), starting with /f/ and ending with the post ID. Paste it in the final empty set of parentheses.
[](/f/imagedump/11361)
You now have your image embedding string. Paste it into a comment and see what it does. If you want to edit your /f/imagedump submission with the string so other people can use it, be sure to surround it with backticks (`), so it will be interpreted as inline code. Otherwise it will just embed the image into your post again.

From a usability perspective, IRC has aged horribly.

What don't you like about Matrix? I've only used it a little, but I didn't have any issues with it.
I'll take the clunkiness of IRC over having my data sold any day

Are there any leftist organizations in your area? I guarantee you you're not alone in the way you feel, and if you start organizing with other principled and disciplined people, you can do something about it.
Edited to add: There's nothing inherently wrong with the other suggestions here; it's good to have tactics to manage your own mental health in the world we live in. But, at the end of the day, taking care of yourself isn't going to actually stop the genocide, or any of the other problems you mentioned here.
One of my favorite quotes is from Angela Davis, and it goes, "I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change, I am changing the things I cannot accept." I can accept that there are some things I can't change right now, but that doesn't mean that I accept them as immutable facts of life, or that I have to accept them on a moral level. Fixing society's problems is going to take a lot of time and effort, but that doesn't mean we should throw our hands in the air and give up, it means we need to get to work. And right now, not enough people are actually doing something.
I know lots of progressive people who are frustrated with the state of the world, but they stay at home and binge-watch TV because they think there's nothing they can do about it. Imagine the frightening progress we could make if every one of those people stood up and started organizing. Defeatism is the cancer that prevents the modern left from getting anywhere. People have to stop believing they're powerless if we want to get off the ground. Evil triumphs when good people do nothing, and I'm not going to stand by and watch the world burn. I'm going to grab a fire hose, but I'm going to need some help to actually put out the fire.

preach. i had to ask multiple people to stop leaving voice messages in our activist group chats. i can read about ten times faster than someone can speak, and i don't want to listen to "um, ah, it's like, well, it's like..." for 15 seconds while they gather their thoughts. plus you can't skim back through a voice message if you forget part of what they said, you have to take a guess at where to seek to and then wait for them to get to the point again.
gather your thoughts, type them out in a text message, and you won't be wasting anyone's time.

was about to call bs and say that it's only one crouton, but then I looked at the source and saw there was some JS code to load one of eight random croutons. I have JavaScript disabled, so that explains it, but I went and loaded croutons 1 through 8 manually. delicious and crunchy
