I get that it's annoying, but we're sad, and angry, and scared, and we don't know where to go. Maybe someone will make us a community called "Now what?" where we can cry, shout, wallow a bit, and then make a plan for survival.

Yeah I think both are valid tbh. I get that a lot of people don't want to hear and and I get that a lot of people are upset. How do you compromise and help with both?

[-] Sarmyth@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

Easy, don't make rules banning the subjects people want to talk about. Are we so concerned about people's thumbs we can ask them to just scroll past content that doesn't interest them but suits the theme of the community?

Be the change you want to see then. You can make that community. I mean this in a supportive way. Go for it!

!politicaldiscussion@lemmy.world seems good as it allows self-posts

I appreciate the confidence and encouragement, but I'm completely unqualified. I'm likely the least techie lemmy user. If there were tech levels, I would in the 'I can set up a printer about 60% of the time' category.

If you remind me later - I have to get ready for work soon - I'll help you if you want. Its fairly easy. Easier than a printer, so you're already qualified lol
