@xvz: *nods* Yep. Though I live with my family since finding a new house is quite expensive here, then again, I'm not sure if people find it weird or "immature" for a young adult (or middle aged adult and above) living with their family due to personal reason...
Yeah, I think people don't seem to care about the consequences they've caused as soon as they treated the internet like a playground. Hmm... me either, I guess maybe it's because the people here got fed up with other forum sites or any social media sites/apps so they went to Voltra because they find it wholesome and somewhat pleasant (or relaxing).

@chiffonorange: ooh i see. i don't think that's weird, plenty of people live with family for various reasons
lots of young people in the states can't afford to move out, and i know in other cultures it's considered the norm to live with family unless you have a reason to otherwise
are you close to them? (no pressure if this is a personal topic for you)
and yeah i can see that, i think the community here is pretty wholesome and relaxing ^^
the forums can be a little slow at times but i think it can be a good thing too - it's not overwhelming and you can post at your own pace
i think youtube started tying your comments to your email as a way to like, address toxic comments and online harassment (since they're tied to you and not just like, an anonymous username)
i really don't like having my identity tied to the youtube comments i make and my youtube account lol but i can see what they were trying to do with that approach

@xvz: Ah I see, that seems reasonable though there'll be some idiots keeping saying on how young people should just move out already despite the prices have becoming more expensive hence said young people had a reason. And yeah we don't usually care about young people living with their relatives here unless they have sufficient money to move out.
That's quite a hard one, while I don't really mind them but there are times I do feel lonely and sad, talking to my parents about it would usually gave me the same old "You're fine" or "Don't be so crazy. You don't have any problems at all." (especially when it comes to talking about mental health, which they still don't understand), heck even talking to my younger siblings would've given me the same results. Hence why I don't talk to them sometimes.
*nods* Yep. It's true the forums are a bit slow but that's better than nothing as long as you take your time on posting :) No need to rush at all.
Oh frick, same! I don't even like my email being attached to YT comments either and I rarely use my YT account since I often log out or go incognito on mobile (why doesn't YT give us the option to log out is beyond me). I know they're trying to stop cyberbullying/harassment but what if someone who is smart enough to take a screenshot of a comment then might try to dox someone? That would be unfortunate.

@chiffonorange: ooh is it expensive everywhere? are you in a major city? (i don't know too much about your cities
)also i'm curious but is there tension between singapore and malaysia? like can you go b/n the two pretty easily or like how is the situation perceived culturally?
aw i see, yeah that's tough to have your family be dismissive of what you're feeling. there's still a lot of misunderstanding and stigma when it comes to mental health, i'm sorry you're family isn't being very supportive. i hope you're doing ok ~
ahh yeah it makes me feel like i have less control over my identity on the internet, like i use a photo with my email and i don't want to use my photo and real name for youtube. but so much is on youtube that i'm still going to use it :-/ i could try using a different account, i'm not sure if they make that easy or not, but also my subscriptions/algorithm recommendations would have to reset which is still a hassle

@Totalanimefan: I see and yeah, YT community is horrendously toxic especially some content on videos or comments. I just wanna watch some funny videos or cute videos to brighten the day. Dx
@xvz: Unfortunately it is. And yes, I'm in a major city. Hmm.... I don't think there's any tension except that people working from Malaysia to Singapore would a hard time on going back to their hometown due to the pandemic, at least.
Thank you. *sending you a virtual hug* I would say the same to you as well. Sadly, it still is as plently of people still don't understand or refuse to listen because of it.
And true, I understand when it comes to email but using real life/personal info for YT or any social media site would risk of the potiental dangers. You could try using or creating a different account by puting fake name and all but the only thing I hate is that some apps would stil require you to put your mobile number. Ugh. And yeah, it can be a hassle to go back and forth to find your subscriptions/algorithm recommendations most times.

@Totalanimefan: Yeah. And it's better not to look at the comments unless the uploader decides to disable them. I see, that's good to know :o *nods*

@Totalanimefan: Ah that's a hard one. *deep thinking* /( o . o )/
I know the forums can be a bit slow but it doesn't matter as long as one takes time to reply or read (it's alright if they don't want to reply).
At the same time, I wondered if people uses forums these days as almost everyone prefer social media (quick messaging and all). :viosweat:

@Totalanimefan: Ah that's true, I suppose it depends on the person's liking. Some people may prefer instant messenging especially when it comes to mobile apps like WhatsApp, Line, etc.
Yep, at least you don't feel any pressure on posting on a thread on forums and you can go afk if you got bored for a while. Lurking has its advantages if one chooses not to post as well.

@Totalanimefan: Hmmm... That sounds like a neat suggestion :o
I understand some people wanted a quick reply so they don't have to wait for a long period of time and well as replying to them once a day and then received another reply from them by ping on the next day. Which it doesn't sound bad tbh.
Unless if one is very impatient.

@Totalanimefan: It's pretty much like Tumblr except it allows you to have more freedom over what content you post, especially NSFW content (including the ones that are, well dark as long as it's fictional or drawn but that one is very controversial as people debated this). It's still in beta as you can't register for free so you had to spend your money (it doesn't cost a lot, I think) unless you had to get an invite code from your friends (if they had one) or on here
