Casual Conversation

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

I noticed a lot of people seem to browse by All yet complain there's not much content, whereas I'm browsing by Subscribed and I still feel like there's an unreal amount of content, far more than I could consume even if I was browsing Lemmy Non-Stop all day.

I wonder if maybe sharing our subscribed communities with each other would help?

Probably replaced by !europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com I guess?

[–] PhilipTheBucket@ponder.cat 1 points 1 week ago

Sure, why not. I'm a little bit reluctant to play the game of declaring instances as "officially bad" and refusing to have anything to do with them; lemmy.world and midwest.social are both on that communities list in places even though I have grave concerns about parts of their core moderation teams. The world just isn't a perfect place, Lemmy included, and refusing to play with it until it gets into perfect shape may not be productive. I may be very noisy about complaining about certain instances but shunning them completely is different.

But that said, having it be officially and overtly illegal to say "Israel bad" on a politics and world news community is such a significant problem that I guess it would be better to honor the people who are trying to set up a replacement (similar to how I don't have !worldnews@lemmy.ml anywhere on there). I've updated it to switch to the dbzer0 community instead. Thanks for the heads-up.
