  • If you’re reading this, just know that I will probably butt heads with you at some point. I can be abrasive, and I typically don’t censor what I think.

    That being said, I wouldn’t choose any other social media. Lemmy makes me think of what the United States should be, disparate communities coming together to form a larger and stronger whole. I can be an asshole, spit my shit and have people discuss things with me in a rational manner - for the most part coming to a common understanding.

    I’ve learned a lot about who I want to be from talking to and reading what Lemmians have to say. I will always appreciate this place.


  • It’s easy to feel that way even if you are a techy. It seems like being minimally neurodivergent is the abnormal here.

    That being said, I’ve been introduced to many different ways of thinking that I wouldn’t have gained otherwise. Think of it like you’re different, but that’s ok because everyone here is different - and that makes them (and you) all the more beautiful for it (especially in the context of idea exchange). In fact, being the different one here will give you the perspective that many of the people who use Lemmy experience simply by existing which, in and of itself, is a valuable thing.





  • corralling student attention in the hands of the parents

    What does this mean?

    Also, I don’t necessarily disagree with what you’re saying ; the people in control of schools across the U.S. should be ashamed of themselves. However it is the responsibility of the parents to not just shove their kids in front of a screen because they’re too busy for them.

    Teachers have it hard enough as it is, I have nothing to say on that front. I would never have the patience to go through what teachers go through, period.
