Is the other server worth joining? Seems like another way to network?

Default community for midwest.social. Post questions about the instance or questions you want to ask other users here.
Yep, I have my server of people and we are supporting each other. Planning a day out at a park with friends and their kids.
I feel like this is a great reminder that you can only really change what you can control. Live your life with your values. Get a job that makes you feel worthwhile if you can. Spend time with friends in real life and online who live the same life as you.
Volunteer at local events and make where you live as best as you can. Focus on local politics and issues since you can control them more. Go out and make the world you want
Thanks for the perspective.
It's a concerningly lovely day in the western basin. Shit is rough for me financially, but I'm gonna go out and run some errands before work tonight. I'm curious to see what the crowd will be like at the bar, especially since it has been so dead recently.
Revolution doesn't have to be all guillotines and molotovs.
But can it be?
Hard to build and use a guillotine without a buddy who knows carpentry and a cheering crowd of folks!
Plus organizing means a bunch of people to ask for glass beer bottles for molotovs!

Yeah but glass beer bottles much more of a pain to deal with. Always worried they'll get shattered
I mean, if someone lives in Texas (or a similar place) they can certainly try to create a tiny bubble of community in the middle of an ocean of drooling, hateful sadists that want to kill them. You may wind up searching for the rest of your life for even one like-minded person -- and if you put a foot wrong, you may find yourself in deadly danger instead. It might be better to run for your life, if you can.
Leaving your current area to find new friends is also a strategy if you have the means to do it.
You're exactly the person that needs to touch grass.
Yes. Go out. Touch grass. Become one with its roots. Learn how they grow and replicate.
I like your way of thinking. It's similar to what I've been saying to people in the aftermath as well.
Build your community. When the shit has hit the fan in the past, it's the communities that stand together who make it.
Well said!
