    I agree with your outlook 100%. However, beehaw has made themselves a community intentionally to be safe for their like-minded members, which I also understand. It does get tiring to see hate spewed without much reason or direction.

    Your point is partially why I stuck with .ml rather than switching over to a different instance. I understand that they also have controversial instances blocked but it’s not like I can’t see them still.

    Rational thought takes a bit of effort for some people and its normally easier to either isolate or congregate.









  • This is particularly why I don’t participate in any social media aside from (what used to be reddit but now) lemmy. It got to the point where I wasn’t even enjoying reddit, I just clicked it out of habit. And did I actually retain anything useful from that website? Lol no. It was all just timewasting bullshit that put you in a pissy mood.

    It’s nice to actually hold a fucking conversation for once. I think a lot of us came here for the same reason; missing the community of that old school forum feel.








  • I dont know if my niche will quite fit the site yet, but I’ve followed a lot of animal subs ( crestedgecko, aidke, partyparrot, the twenty thousand cat subs… catsbeingcats of course a favorite ) and also a lot of botany style subs ( botany is the obvious one, houseplants, houseplantcirclejerk, savagegarden, mycology ) and then the unusual to pique interest ( unusualvideos, atbge, designdesign, barbarawalters4scale, hmmmgifs )

    Special call out to /todayilearned a /awwducational for giving me fun facts to share with my co workers.

    I think if there were master communities it would help appeal to a broad crowd.
