I find the quality and variety of discussions on the fediverse to be lower than what I had on reddit. Lemmings have strong preconceived notions and little interest in changing viewpoints from new information. I think I’ll be switching back.
Edit: you’ll find that most of the comments deny any shortcomings of the culture and go directly to invalidating my opinions via character assassination. If lemmy was a community that actually stood for the ideals which it espouses it would take constructive criticism in the spirit in which it was intended. QED.
Lol fair enough. Even with this crazy winter, we did see temps dive from the mid 40s to -3 a couple weeks ago. I miss my snowy winters, at least then it wouldn’t look so miserable outside.
I think those communities are a lightning rod for venting frustrations in a like-minded community more than anything. Systemic change is hard, and sometimes it’s cathartic to belt out a slogan before returning to praxis.
Shit we got so much snow by me in one shot that it knocked the power out and I got a bunch of downed tees I have to deal with. And now it’s in the 40s/50s and flooding everything.
