bloomer

A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.

We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!

This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.

Rules:

  1. Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct

  2. No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

  3. Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

  4. Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

Don't be so hard on yourselves.

You guys got me to actually read some theory. Not much (I'm a pretty terrible leftist) but hey I'm better than I used to be.

Thanks to the libre comm for getting me on to Linux, teaching me about GrapheneOS and other helpful nerd stuff.

Thank you to the disabled comm for existing, you guys are saints.

Thank you to the Blorptube gang for being chill and having great taste in slop.

Shitty vibes here sometimes for sure, but to the people who are still around that make this place bearable, cheers.

I’m coming up on my first year here and I gotta say I love it here. Sure it’s not perfect and falls victim to the internet harshness now and again but just being able to use a site like this regularly and not see random offhand bigotry has been huge for me. The chapo subreddit was actually what radicalized me (formally) in 2019 so it’s cool coming full circle somewhat and completely leaving reddit after 15 years of almost daily use.

And I think you are a very kind owl, thank you for being a terrific fowl.

Just saw an owl - truly an incredible bird, folks. BIG eyes, tremendous focus, maybe even smarter than half the people in Washington! Everyone’s talking about it. Very impressive owl!! trump-feed
