- 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

MODERATORS
I don't want to criticize you or your opinion; your views are entirely valid.
I just want to get this off my chest: I am sick and tired of people who want to "grow". Unbound, needless growth is the attitude that brought us into climate change. I would rather have people waste themselves every weekend, than people who put "growth" about everything else.
Growth at all costs is bad. Slow, steady growth is natural and encouraged. The economy grows, but so does a forest. Something as broad as "growth" should not be characterized in a singular way like you're doing, especially when you seem to consider natural growth to be "unbound" and "needless", when it is not.
You should rest, but you should not stagnate.
I think there's kind of a difference between growing as a person, emotionally, intellectually, interpersonally, etc, and growing as a species and building as much as we can as big as possible. Those aren't the same thing, and one of them comes with consequences for the world and humanity where the other does not...
It seems odd to me to lump them together
Is this what the kids call based?
