    Comments like that unfortunately do the opposite - they make people defeatest which makes people stop paying attention to the situation at all

      Fair point.

      I admit I’ve been feeling pretty fucking bleak about things lately. I also admit I sometimes use this space as a pressure-release valve for myself. It’s fair and correct to point out that the vibe I’m introducing is counterproductive. I shall try to do better. Cheers, friend.

        Wait, wait you can have productive discussions like this on the internet? (Thank you for being receptive - we need more people like you)

          Honestly, I’ve had a lot more interactions like this on lemmy since I joined a couple years ago than I ever had on Reddit. It’s one of the reasons I actually kinda like this place.
