We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar
Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

MODERATORS
Some of this is objective. Some is just nostalgia.
You can still download music and play wow. On this front you probably miss simpler times when you weren't aware of problems you are now or resent responsibilities that took you from things you enjoyed and make you feel old.
On the other hand, society globally is markedly worse than before COVID with substantial right-wing shifts.
Unfortunately, end of days accelerationists and techno fascist billionaires have been working quite hard to make the world a worse place for several decades...
So I largely agree. Personally, in terms of skills and assets, I'm in a much better place than I was 2000 years ago. However, in terms of happiness and hope for the future... I actually still had some then.
