RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

The election, the CEO murder, etc.

And when I tried to say something about it, I get downvoted, and get replies that I am a bootlicker or something etc.

Oh yeah, also, Lemmy discussion is very one-sided and lacks nuance.

I have more things to say, but I prefer sleeping. That's all

US Defaultism is a thing on the internet. I've seen it plenty here to the point of thinking of starting a USDefaultism community just to make fun of it all.

If it actually bothers you to the point of where you're tired of seeing it, I'd recommend blocking (or filtering, depending on your Lemmy client) some US-centric communities or maybe even instances to bring some more balance in your feed.

Making a community just to make fun of a thing is possibly the most pathetic thing you could do.

Yeah, bad phrasing on my part, sorry. To have a laugh with it, would be a more fitting way to put it. Not necessarily at the expense of the person posting or anything.
