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
It's implied. Nobody wants assholes.
Most of the people that I've met who habitually reach for "fuck you", frame it as a question or an argument. Which is arguably worse. And somewhat common. Well, common in the conversations that I like to have.
See, now you are saying "fuck you", and framing it all snarky, "You’ll sure show us, won’t you!". That's actually worse than "fuck you".
I think that the problem might actually be bullshit. There's a ton of "fuck you" going around but it's disguised, so it can't be rationally addressed, but we still feel it, the awfulness, so to escape the awfulness we subconsciously slide into these safe conversations, where conflict and the invisible yet toxic fallout don't exist. But the safe conversations are not very satisfying.
You are saying "fuck you" like 3 times there. I can see how you might feel cynical.
just swearing at someone isn’t expressing it intelligently though
Sometimes it is. It depends.
