Sounds like you’ll find more community here on Lemmy.
We’re a smaller, odder bunch, but in the more reminiscent style of older form posts.
I really like the sphere here. I ditched Reddit awhile ago for the Fediverse and haven’t looked back since.
i don't like the idea of a community that big setting a precedent like this. Then ofc I'm staying here bc it's much better, but i feel like this is a big problem, bc ppl are more prone to flock to that cesspool and thus getting exposed to autismspeaks propaganda and redditors. Im gonna take my benzos bc I'm really agitated about this
The unfortunate reality that I’ve come to cope with, is that there’s only so much you can do to attempt to convince people of something contrary to beliefs integrated within their identities.
Cognitive dissonance is a difficult battle to wage, but it is fruitless persuade those unwilling to be convinced that a large community easily indexed on the first page of the most ubiquitously used search engines is not the best solution to find community.
It is an unfortunate truth, but it will reduce the harm in your life to distance yourself from these types of group think communities.
I would prefer to be downvoted and engage in good faith discussion with a smaller group of individuals and possibly have my own beliefs evolve than stay in a corporate environment.
yeah also no entitled mods here so that's a plus
I'm entitled! I just don't know what I am entitled to.
Free air and sincere thanks for fostering our lil community 😄
Back in my day, all gas stations had an air hose coiled up around the side of the building for anyone to use, no charge. Now you gotta dump handfuls of quarters into a machine. :shakes_fist_at_clouds:
lots of cattle
