I came here with the mass reddit exodus too, and I loved what was going on here for that summer. It felt like a group of people looking to make a positive place and had more of an old Internet feel.
As we’ve settled in here, it feels we’ve lost much of that and many have fallen back to those old habits of just letting opinions fly at each other, and we’ve got more arguing than cooperation.
I get everyone is upset, but to me, that pushes me to be more cooperative, not more isolated. I was actually happy to see this thread when I got up this morning because people were calmly discussing what was making them upset and feeling trapped by life. If we could approach more threads calmly like this, I’d be so much happier.
I’m surprised you’re at least a little older than me from the sound of it, you have a more youthful character to me! 😁. I do appreciate you and the others that hang out here with me. There’s still quite a number of good people here. My real life is about 50/50 good and bad now, so I’ve been trying to jump between worlds" between people here and IRL, but it’s become a bit more challenging for me recently.
