Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Politics centered around promoting use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.

  • Every region in the world has its way of doing things. When new layers of control are added, it makes some people nervous.

    When the new controls are perhaps mismanaged and corrupt, promising to do more than advertised, it makes some people angry. Especially during an increase of lawlessness and corruption of the central government. Especially when it uses the same messaging which has already harmed many

  • I sorta on OP’s side; he said a sentence that could be interpreted hundreds of ways, and everyone assumed the worse and started attacking his character. And it’s very hard to nicely restate one’s position without some mild anger after that.

    Then people attack even more. It’s a feeding frenzy.

    I unblocked this community just this week; I even commented here. But this entire thing is just too much. I’m blocking politics again , and hopefully world politics changes for the better when test it out in a few months

  • The current administration is using chaos for wealth and power. But many see chaos as a necessary step to rescue the country from the grip of whatever the USA is and has become more of.

    The very definition of chaos means nobody can control it. It rattles around and produces outcomes which surprise many, it wrecks things many depend. And never builds what people need

  • I think that is all too frequent throughout the entire fediverse; just the topics change.

    I have blocked entire popular communities on many servers to not get caught up in that.

    There are some topics I just have to type a few keystrokes and I manage to attract controversy. And I do not understand why. What’s the big deal? Why do people hate me? And some instances are just weird to me, but others love it and find them important. Some instances are more in touch with my own weirdness.

    I think if I have learned anything by my adventures, is not to demonize any instance used by a large group of people, but recognize there are different types of oddballs lurking there, waiting …

  • Hexbear has thousands of users who have written 5 million comments; some are crazy.

    Personally I can deal with hexbear crazy better than I can deal with some crazy in other communities, but everyone is different

  • I’m not a bellicose type, or a lib, and I’m not an imperialist, so I’m a decent fit with most communities there.

    It’s far easier for me to ignore most oddball stuff in those two than things that drive me crazy here.

  • The one I’m on is anarchist , and is rather chill. There are actually many small servers that are left, but not authoritarian.

    If you like larger, I think the reputations of ml and hexbear here on world are not realistic. More of a scary bedtime story libs tell their kids. But there are a few users there who drift into what you might not like.

  • I’m going to write my senators and hold up a sign, with a polite yet firm wording, in a very peaceful protest

  • You create an account in another and import your account info, keeps a lot of stuff

  • This is not including mass detentions by ICE and related?

  • I think the plastic particles is a contaminant covering the cap on both sides. In the last section they mentioned the level dropped three times after washing the cap before sealing

  • I like very much the comparison you made of a rural exodus; inspiring!

  • I think less accurate now that many fled the platform

  • It is rather both sides, isn’t it?

    But, after poking around lemmy, I have decided there is value in all instances. There will be communities nestled in between the stuff I do not like. I like and dislike much on lemmy

  • looking for a instance with the fewest trolls, bots, and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes.

    All the instances are good in their own way, but at least one will irritate you very much, and it’s always different. There are ways each one can make you go “why???”

    There are commenters who will call one or more instances bad things. That may or may not be accurate for you.

    Each large instance has one or more crazy mods, all instances mostly have decent mods. Each instance will have multiple examples about why it’s good or horrible.
