Fuck billionaires, fuck CEOs, fuck Elon Musk, Fuck AI, fuck capitalism, fuck reddit, fuck nazies, fuck SUVs, fuck ads, fuck republicans, fuck twitter, fuck facebook, fuck Trump, fuck Israel, fuck google, fuck enshittification, fuck Apple, fuck police …
Complain, complain complain. That’s what you people do here all day every day. That’s even what I’m doing right now. Jesus Christ no wonder we all feel like shit all the time. This is the most miserable and cynical circle jerk I’ve ever participated in.
And yet you chose to add to the negativity instead of opposing it.
Communities are what you make them.

I aknowledge the irony on my post
Respectfully, I’m giving OP the benefit of the doubt assuming they were either looking to get something c/offmychest or look for a solution. I think we offered them some. :)
Have a wank, take a nap. You’ll feel better.
Wanking ain’t what it used to be.
Then you’re doing it wrong Richard. Grab some grease and go to town. :)
Fuck negativity
Hi my names negativity.
This is one of my favourite places on the internet <3
There’s nothing wrong with controlling / filtering the things you allow into your news feed.
Yes, there is a need to stay informed, but TBH the only immediate things one really needs are:
- a weather radio [Canada] [US] to alert of impending doom from volcanic eruption, inclement weather, earthquake or civil unrest
- local weather forecast
- local traffic & news
All of which can be accomplished without a Twitter, Reddit or Fediverse news feed.
You can’t function if you’re in a bad headspace. If you need to restrict your news intake, not only is that OK, but it is at times required and healthy.
I think !battletech@lemmy.world is pretty neat. A setting with webs of overlapping political intrigue that shifts between different eras, all driven by conflicts where big stompy mechs are used to fight. It’s got decades of different miniatures behind the actual game, and the game itself is very rules crunchy. The small number of mechs needed to play makes it quite accessible compared to other wargames that need more of an investment.
!warhammer40k@lemmy.world is another setting, probably more well known in the current mainstream. A huge variety of factions to choose from. It is the default game of any game store so you’re sure to be able to find other people to play with.
!star_wars@lemmy.world is a setting that’s had a lot of controversy, but I personally like focusing on all of the great parts of it. I’m currently reading through some old EU books and really enjoying them.
Thank you for contributing to all of them
Quite literally an unpopular opinion. You got my upvote
So you’ve noticed it too. I’ve also noticed that there’s too much black or white world view here, and no middle ground. It’s tiring.
I’ve found myself visiting less and less.
Agree. We, the people here, are malcontents by definition (who left the other place) and boy does it show. And a lot of autism and pedanticness.
block the worst offenders, it makes a world of difference
As always with this kind of thread, I suggest people to check !casualconversation@lemmy.world
And you can have a normal conversation, but then you say one thing that doesn’t fully align with the groupthink and the conversation turns toxic really quick.
Fuck this, fuck me, fuck you, fuck us, fuck we, I’m out
Yeah, I came here searching or a place less cluttered and political than reddit. Big mistake.
Everything is political. If you don’t agree, it means you’re in a privileged position where you’re part of the majority who isn’t having to deal with their rights being stomped on.
With all due respect, there’s more in the direction you mention, but there’s more in the direction of opposing views, as well. This was the entire point of moving to the Fediverse: to get away from the restrictions and whims of u/spez and Big Tech.
Keep looking around and talking to other people. This is a better place than Reddit: you just haven’t stumbled upon all of the evidence yet. ;)
