I kinda made this post out of spite for the fact the most previous post in this community, whose title I quoted/copied, was getting so many downvotes... At the time I posted this, the previous post had about a 30% downvote rate, and it really, really made me mad.
I am relieved tho to see people in the comments here who have real, actual empathy for their fellow humans. Thank you for contributing here.
It blows my mind how normalized it is to hate on those who are struggling. Especially in 20fucking23 when so many of us now are on the verge of it ourselves. Let's be better, everyone - to everyone. I beg you.
When a post gets enough points, it does the Lemmy equivalent of "hitting the front page" and comment character becomes indistinguishable from a brigade. Most of the people commenting on this post aren't from the Slrpnk.net instance. Check out the locals who are though -- excellent people every one -- @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected]. These people are making this instance great.
Also, a shout out to the the nice people from other instances - I see you, and you are awesome: @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected], @[email protected] - thanks for contributing.
Thank you for taking the time to make some personal acknowledgements, especially for those who are visiting from other instances.
You deserve one yourself too. Your contributions here help make this place great as well.
