Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

See how hard that is to read?
Also, do you really think saying "stand against discrimination" is really useful today? As if we don't see/hear something about race/racism/bigotry/etc every day in the news for the last 50 years?
If you want to make a difference, start with yourself. In fact, that's really about all we can do. Shouting at others does nothing, and potentially makes them dig in their heels even more.
Usually with posts like this I downvote and move on, sometimes blocking the poster, because it's tiresome and useless. I mean really, you're shouting on Lemmy about prejudice. Just think about that for a minute.
It's like spitting into the wind. Like I am now.
