RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Like, a majority of my direct interactions with some users from all across the Fediverse and not just Lemmy have been annoying. The kind of nuisance where I feel like I absolutely want to maim the person who bothered responding to me.

At least with Reddit, I know I can expect it because it's a wider audience and that's part of it's reputation. With the Fediverse, for a considerably smaller pool of people in comparison that desire more friendlier engagements because of wanting an alternative, they certainly have proven to be the biggest jackasses of the bunch.

Which makes me think that there's really no hope for the Fediverse in general to be as big as the opposition. Because once people see that there's virtually no difference between where they've been from where they are, it almost defeats the purpose of having switched at all.

And that's pretty much where I'm sitting currently.

Seems like you're no better because you're just shit stirring for the sake of shit-stirring. Did you have to come out of the woodwork to be a hypocrite?
