I also think there's value in just talking about shit without feeling like we're trying to solve it here on the internet. It's good to discuss things, get different points of view, I just wish people would stop feeling like like they have to be activists about everything.
I guess I'm tired of being preached at. It's the difference between discussing the ways in which people cook their food, as opposed to being told how food should be cooked by someone.
I agree. Gaining perspective is very important when trying to solve issues. You don't need to tell people how to do something all the time, but understanding how others do the same thing can assist in the creation of better solutions.
Yes, and you need to accept that you may be wrong. You can discover this by discussing and exploring ideas, trying to convince others of what you already believe makes you closed off.
People act like whatever has been planted in their heads is the absolute truth. There is no absolute truth.
Agreed. But... and I need to be blunt about this, most people are too damn scared to step out of their comfort zone to accept any other "truth". This is why I can't bring myself to follow any particular religion. In other words, "normies" WANT to be controlled. They like it. That way they don't have to think for themselves.
Most people are cowards and even they can't bring themselves to admit it. The sad truth. 🤷♂️
Yeah that's true I agree it makes me think of all the people on the right alternative sub. Like I thought everybody wanted free speech but most people on the road at alternative sub want I rented alternative that's more restrictive and sensors ship happy
It's like in that Russian sleep experiment creepypasta, “We no longer want to be freed.”
(don't read this before bed btw lol)
It's like in 1984, "But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength. would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it?"
The "proles" never rise up against anything.
Yeah the realisation that it's possible that most people simply want to be controlled and absolved of any moral responsibility for their actions is a scary one. Covid times scared me. Not covid... The way people mindlessly complied.
"Covid times scared me. Not covid... The way people mindlessly complied."
This part right here. The fact that so many people are still adhering to mask requirements is somewhat unnerving. There are countless other issues, as well. But, that's a big one.
In NZ there were some leaked government conversations where they admitted that keeping masks going for so long was just a flex, it remind people that COVID's a thing.
Oh yeah the rise of activists is why we can't have an interesting society 😕
They drive me mad
That's a good Observation. I do feel less Stressed When using nostr in Comparison to Reddit
I've never even used Reddit. How is it?
Honestly I like it. BUT you have to mind your tounge and manners or you'll get banned. So I don't ask questions much unless they have nothing to do with politics.
The leftist there will start shit with you hoping you go off so they can report you and get you banned. Don't fall for it. Ignore them.
Other then that it's WAAAAY different from here.
You can follow people on reddit, but most people aren't focused on that. There DMs, group chats and of course subreddits.
You should check it out. It'll give you balance for your need for discussion and then the well not so much discussion nostr has.
My favorite subs are, roast me, shittyaskreddit, askmen, 90s nostalgia, AskOuija, and there's even a nostr community.
The most popular subreddits are: ask reddit, am I the asshole, relationship advice, antiwork, explain like I'm five, no stupid questions, too afraid to ask, and a bunch more
I sort by new. But here is my home feed.
Just stay away from rage bait and politics is my advice. You just can't do it there. You're out numbered and mods are assholes
Can you tell how that is more interesting compared to the nostr feed?
I always accidentally say something and get global banned, last time it was for defending Tucker Carlson when they were calling him a NAZI in a Christian subreddit, which is the last place you’d expect that, but it’s Reddit.
That's fucking retarded, these people are insufferable.
fucking wow. I don't even bother getting into it with those people. I just see that shit as bait now. Like you're not going to bait me dude you can bitch online and talk shit on the internet but you wouldn't say that shit to anyone's face
