i don't like the idea of a community that big setting a precedent like this. Then ofc I'm staying here bc it's much better, but i feel like this is a big problem, bc ppl are more prone to flock to that cesspool and thus getting exposed to autismspeaks propaganda and redditors. Im gonna take my benzos bc I'm really agitated about this
yeah also no entitled mods here so that's a plus
I'm entitled! I just don't know what I am entitled to.
Free air and sincere thanks for fostering our lil community 😄
Back in my day, all gas stations had an air hose coiled up around the side of the building for anyone to use, no charge. Now you gotta dump handfuls of quarters into a machine. :shakes_fist_at_clouds:
lots of cattle
As I tell people here on Lemmy, my thoughts and opinions are my own. You don't need to agree with me and I'm willing to read a different perspective.
I keep thinking that Lemmy is way bigger than it is. Part of me is nervous that it might go down hill the more it grows.
Growth is inevitable so I guess we just need to hold true to strong values.
