Yeah, in good and in bad, this place is a lot like “the old days of the internet”, but thankfully more in the good way than the bad. People keep complaining about shit I haven’t seen for a second, constantly there are actions from the mod/admin side about shit I’ve never even seen etc. Even without proper mod tools and shit it seems like everything is working out quite well. To which I and all of us owe a huge thank you to the people working on this stuff.

Thank you people! Thank you for making this place feel like home and something greater than what we’ve had for a long ass time.

Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.

I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they’re so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won’t ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don’t give a fuck.

Exactly. Like, I get that people want to have fun and all and I’m all for it even if it’s not my thing, but any relevant discussion was constantly drowned out by the pun chains and copypasted shit to the point that it was fairly obviously often just bots, but as long as a few people have their fun fuck the discussion right? Right… but I/you/we gotta be less cynical, as was said above the lemmy algo is apparently better with this stuff. So I’m at least going to try to be a little hopeful.
