A collection of some classic Lemmy memes for your enjoyment
I attempt to only talk about these things with IRL friends. When our opinions disagree, we're all nice about it. When we agree, it's really fun to geek out on it together.
Even when we disagree, it can be fun to hear the reasons why. Because we don't attack each other over personal preferences.
But trying to do that online? Nah. Tis a silly place.
I have a group of friends who have very distant opinions on the types of things we like, and having friendly arguments over these things is one of the highlights of my week.
I daren't even enter a forum for any of those hobbies online.
I recently discovered that a band I like not only has a subreddit dedicated to hating it, there's another subreddit dedicated to making fun of the other subreddit. This is in addition to the main subreddit which, can you believe? Is filled with drama over the other two, in addition to gushing over the artist who, quite frankly, is only ok. It's kinda niche so they get a decent following just by filling in an undeserved market.
But if this artist ran over a nun after robbing a bank, it wouldn't even make front page news in LA.
That’s the difference with political discourse today. You had an obligation to be nice to people in fear of getting punched. Too many people cower behind keyboards with big opinions today because they know if they acted like that in public they would be hit.
