I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

I dunno I barely know what people are talking about anyways even when using reddit or twitter because most of my interests are aren't that mainstream

There are bajillion other sites where you can wallow in mainstream pop culture and consume whatever slop that has been deemed as sufficently advertiser friendly. I am here to fly my freak flag high.

The big events of my Sunday were !superbowl@lemmy.world and Monsterdon. I consider this an absolute win. My cousin was telling me something about some halftime show but I was like huh?

Mixed feelings about Eurovision entries. I like seeing them without expectations. I had no warning that Kaarija's Cha Cha Cha or Go_A's SHUM were gonna be as epic as they are. I'll probably be on Mastodon when Eurovision's live.

Anyway, nothing's keeping you from the mainstream social media if that's where you'll find what you need. You're always welcome here!

You want to be on a bigger instance, like Lemmy.World. Always room to grow, but closer to what you're wanting these days

I support Palestine and trans people

This feels like some kind of religious catechism, uttered to allay the suspicions of those who might question your standing as a member of a virtuous tribe.

Personally, I support Palestine and Israel, trans people and feminists. The world is complicated, history even more so, and individual moral situations must be judged on their merits.

I like to think that one difference between mainstream social media and this place is that here people might choose to think a bit more.
