I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there’s a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I’ve blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy’s, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country’s Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

    Nah I’m with you on this. I have this weird set of interests that align me well with Lemmy, but also as a dirtbag couch goblin who binges reality TV like my life depends on it. I feel like Lemmy can get a little uh… holier than thou about it and I don’t feel like I have any trashy echo chambers anymore. I miss Instagram reality and all the snark subs tbh.

    I support Palestine and trans people

    This feels like some kind of religious catechism, uttered to allay the suspicions of those who might question your standing as a member of a virtuous tribe.

    Personally, I support Palestine and Israel, trans people and feminists. The world is complicated, history even more so, and individual moral situations must be judged on their merits.

    I like to think that one difference between mainstream social media and this place is that here people might choose to think a bit more.
