I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

It really is, but I've found that a surprisingly large amount of people like what I like. I also mod !satisfactory@lemmy.world and honestly when I post there it's mostly just screenshots. People then ask questions and it's a good time, if news drops or a video drops I'll just paste a link in there, something to get the discussion going. There's also some other great members who do similar. That's really all it takes to get a small community off the ground
