    Lemmy in general has a difficult time separating reality from “how it should be”. There’s a lot of preachers here.

      We are trying to educate each other about the general issues in our society, and to broaden insight. We are not preaching solutions for individuals, or making demands on anyone.

        That totally doesn’t not sound like a hive mind statement.
        What else are we not being?

          Each community has both a stated purpose and an evolved character, and each occurs within a broader context of politics and society. We discuss and contribute openly, beneath such context.

          Your objection is not particularly accurate. I was explaining, against your earlier concern, that the intention is quite different from attacking individuals for how they approach their own circumstances, and from imposing over discussion any assumptions about such circumstances.

          Even if certain contributions may appear superficially as personal, the deeper motive is most likely political or structural.
