Whinging about lemmy.ml yet again are you? Speaking of making the fediverse more enjoyable, it's a good idea to ignore folks who love to stir the pot and create fediverse drama.
My last .ml meme was 2 months ago. I guess I should be proud that it bugged you enough to burn into your memory like that?
But yeah, warning new fediverse users that there are awful places and the whole fediverse ain't like that, well, that seems a polite way to improve the user experience and help new folks.
I love my city but I also generally warn visitors about our open air shooting gallery a few hundred meters away from the entertainment district for much the same reason.
Now I'm curious about the conversation on the internet with a lemmy.ml user you had.
Because you compare that to a shooting.
Kinda weird.
Haha, sorry, shooting gallery is, admittedly old, slang for an area where people do drugs without consequence. Comes from when heroin was the big scourge.
In Vancouver, Hastings is a super sketchy area that breaks your heart to see (and sometimes, your bones. An elderly friend is in one of the social housing projects there and was hospitalized awhile ago after some asshole shoved her to the ground and stole her purse.) But it is also right next to one of the nicer touristy kind of areas so you'll occasionally see very bewildered tourists or young folk new to the city terrified and out of place.
