@wathek thanks. I think it was a misunderstanding caused by my poor communication.

I’m sorry that’s been your experience here. It’s been very different for me - I was previously on reddit and saw a lot of negativity and cynicism and despair over there. And outright meanness, shills etc.

Kbin/lemmy has made me feel much more revitalised and optimistic, I contribute way more content here, but also somehow have more free time, and I’ve become a bit more active in my community and local/national politics IRL as well. I feel like I’m really reconnecting with that side of life.

Unfortunately Lemmy isn’t that for you, but I hope you find somewhere that is.
