So good! Just scrolled through a number of them. Thanks :)
Comment on The internet kind of sucks right now
Chozo@fedia.io 1 day ago@dual_sport_dork does a weekly-ish post in !pocketknife called Weird Knife Wednesday, where he talks about a weird knife from his collection. His reviews are often hilarious, sometimes heartwarming, and always entertaining. Even people who aren't knife nerds pop into his posts each week. Definitely worth reading them!

See, this is why I love being here — random, delightful stuff like this makes me feel more connected to strangers who I will never meet, which genuinely helps to fuel my overall sense of purpose in fighting for a better world (and in many cases, in just fighting to continue existing throughout grimness). Thanks for the recommendation
Another person who comes to mind in this vein is the wonderful person who posts lots of cool owl content on the superbowl community (their username starts with anon, I think. Someone who knows how to tag users on Lemmy, feel free to tag them if you know who I mean)

What I really appreciate about Lemmy is that broadly there is an unspoken rule that constructive dialogue is the only option.
You can say something stupid or misinformed, and instead of ripping you to shreds or vilifying you, the fellow strangers that choose to respond will usually do so in a polite, constructive way. They will put effort into their argument to make sure it’s understood and sound.
Once that unwritten rule is no longer abided by, the ship has already left the port and there’s no recovering. I hope it stays that way for the foreseeable future.
