I remember that. People would just bitch and moan about how far Reddit had fallen. And how /spez ruined everything.
Now we have to put up with increasingly wholesome and thoughtful content. Oh well.
This is such good advice. When you find that you are with someone truly toxic... get tf out. It's the only way to be well.
I hear you. People have very little pain/change tolerance. Humans want things easy the first time. Those who stick around the fediverse have higher pain tolerance. They are more cognitively flexible. They are principled. There's a short time of adjustment that one has to tolerate.
I'm thankful for all those who have the strength to say "NO" to the likes of /spez. It's a small thing but it shows some determination and character.
The early adopters at kbin are thoughtful, articulate, and considerate. Very welcoming.
These burgeoning communities are rough around the edges. But as @dan96kid said, there's space for us to speak up, rather than simply lurk. I'm getting a kick out of this disruption.
Good conversations on kbin, Lemmy, Squabbles, et al. I think there's a new feeling of solidarity and ownership with these new (to some of us) forums. I'm here for it.
Would love to see more art popping up around here. Just the thing we need.
Love that setup.
I'm really looking forward to buying a Moonlander. And the weeks of adjustment and building muscle memory will no doubt hurt. But it seems so ergonomic and body friendly.
Nice work. When life is like a scene I in office space.
I think fatherhood is less about the child and more about parenting yourself. Watch how you respond to your little one. Sooth and calm yourself. Look after yourself. Treat your child like you would like to be treated. Model peace. And honor your child for they will soon be an adult.
When your child reaches adulthood you want to be able to appreciate memories of self-sacrifice, personal growth, laughter, and fun. You will influence your child. And your child will influence you.
One day they will strike out on their own. And you will have been changed forever because of that beautiful little independent part of you.
