I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy.
TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life.
I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation.
I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so.
The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too.
Yeah I hear you.
TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something.
Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess.
I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here.
The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.
My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.
People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)
Oh I’m just spouting off occasionally with hyperbole, rants and un-serious trolling.
Don’t sweat it.
