The situation got so bad that actual news overtook memes in top posts on Lemmy
Im becoming unsettled. Maybe a few memes total on first two pages. How could things go so bad? Where are the yester beans gone?
You're viewing a single thread.
OP is onto something.
maybe people are getting sad out there. maybe news is coming at us fast.. because change (unprecedented bad bad change) is happening faster than ever before?
it's a sign of the times. people blaming news junkies or whining about blocking comms don't get it. we're no longer living in a time when we can afford to ignore what's happening around us.
ps, I'm not arguing against memes. in fact go check [email protected] it's been turned into a satire comm under new mods and it's wonderful!
Yeah that's unfortunate. I joined that community to listen to concerns of my compatriots.
The amount of polarization right now is pretty concerning. People can't imagine how someone could possibly have a different view. Conservatives and progressives both see the other as dumb and extreme. I don't need to agree with someone to understand where there beliefs come from.
Whoop! There it is. I've definitely been guilty, up until very recently. It's time to wake up, now. I'd wager we've all been asleep at the wheel, for decades, now.
Go create another on another instance
No, I will stay and hope our conservative brothers and sisters return and we can welcome them with healthy dialogue. It's a multilane two-way information superhighway. We can visit each others ' spaces and stay in our lanes, unless we use turn signals, like responsible, respectable drivers.
With the mod team driving the current environment you're very likely better off building somewhere new. It's the main benefit of the fediverse after all
Easier isn't necessity better. Let's wait and see if "left" can stop behaving like ultraright*.
Can’t ignore it.
Can’t change it.
Only heartburn.
Don't ever think you can't change it.
Audrey Hepburn was a teenager when the Nazis invaded.
She could only dance, but that's what she did.
There's always a way to fight.
I think we can change it. We just have to say, "Mountain, be thou removed" and get busy with our shovels to help remove it. It won't be easy, but it is doable.
