I evolved from a monkey.

I want to help the fediverse grow, but I have the tendency to get into arguments and say things in the heat of the moment that I later regret, which I feel is counterproductive to the whole fedigrow thing. So I’m working on trying make sure I have more good vibes around here.

    And people wonder why I delete my account.

    I feel this. Theres a lot of hostility here on Lemmy sometimes. People say it’s just as bad as Reddit but imo it can be a lot worse. It’s shame because I really want the fediverse to grow, but this seems like a silent hurdle hindering that growth (how many newbies delete their account before even getting that active? Anecdotally it seems like a high percentage). Even just pointing out that some people on Lemmy have behavioural issues can attract derision (I fully expect downvotes for this comment, for example). People here seem unwilling to face this problem


  • This is the most in depth response yet, thank you

    From my point of view is not if there will be a pandemic virus that would wipe out a high chunk of the population. I think that’s guaranteed if we don’t change our traveling habits. It’s just a matter of when.

    Yes I agree with you actually. The reasoning behind this conclusion is airtight, yet no one wants to go there because it’s such a disturbing thought.

    And even though the COVID lab leak theory is controversial, there have been many well documented lab leaks of other biohazards, viral or otherwise. If we keep poking around with these things it increases the odds of another pandemic increase even further, whether that be by a malicious actor doing it intentionally or someone letting it slip by mistake
