I’m at the point where every time someone yells at me for protesting and tells me how useless it is, I chalk that up as a little sign of success, however small. If this guy is taking time out of his day to rant at me at length about what I’m doing, that means others are likely taking notice too.

Do I think protesting is going to magically solve the issue? Of course not. But it’s something I can do to bring attention to the issue, spread awareness, and encourage others who feel the same way but might feel alone or unsupported about it. I’m always happy to hear about what else I can do to better effect, but somehow that never seems to be something the naysayers are willing to provide. It’s always just tearing down, no advice or building up.

Nobara had some issues updating correctly for me, but I haven’t seen anyone else express that

This is why I stopped using it. I could never find anyone else with the same issue or any advice on it either. Glad to find out it wasn’t just me after all

The worst is when you see a low sub count channel owner respond with the sincerest gratitude, like it really made their day to get such a supportive comment. I never have the heart to tell them, but I do try to leave an actual supportive comment of my own to sort of balance it out

Let’s start calling it skill golf instead of miniature golf

I always see a lot of discouraging responses whenever protests are brought up. I don’t think protests on their own will solve most major issues, but they’re indicative of people caring enough to start going out of their way to do things, and can have awareness and ripple effects on a population.

How about instead of discouraging people from protesting as if it’s pointless, encourage them to keep up that energy and recommend what else they can do now that they’re all fired up and engaged? Why not fan the flame instead of raining on it?

Edit: can you make the spell deliberately miss? I tend to avoid playing casters

This is still my default. One day I’ll break the habit

Lemm.ee made me feel welcome and cozy in this new experience that was Lemmy. Admins and users I frequently noticed were chill and seemed to be overall decent folk. Appreciate everyone that made that instance what it was, thank you all and see you around on/from other instances.
