You’ve been living the dream, my friend.

What clients exist for Firefox on a computer? Because I blocked Lemmy on my phone for a good reason (I was browsing it too often).

I primarily browse through All, that’s why. Otherwise that would be a pretty good suggestion.

Oh I see the disconnect. I primarily browse Lemmy through the all page, because I wanted my subscribe community list to be a small selection of communities I really like. I also want to stay up to date on new communities when they appear.

That’s unfair. I read The Guardian and the Australian Broadcasting Channel every day, and routinely check the Wikipedia Current Events page. I am up to date with the news. But I don’t come to Lemmy to get even more news about the fascist US, and their effects on the world.
Being surrounded by it all day affects my headspace, and I’m aware of that. It’s not weakness that I protect myself.
Now kindly fuck off.

I’ll have to do that, but a non-zero amount of posts leak through into other communities. I did find out I can just filter posts by keywords using uBlock Origin.

Yeah you’re absolutely right. Though we are talking about two separate things here; OP and I are talking about “eat the rich” left rhetoric. Like people coming here and seeing comments like, “wheel out the guillotines”, and “kill all CEOs”.
You’re talking about the fact that we shouldn’t welcome conservative voices after they’ve ruined the rest of the internet. I absolutely 100% completely agree with you.
I’ll give you an example; I’m more leftie than my wife. So it surprising to her when I said that people should be allowed to just punch Nazis with no legal ramifications. Like to her it was actually confronting to hear someone she knew advocate for violence. I explained my reasoning. They are corrosive to society’s norms, and really need a different set of rules to regular people to be contained. The only language they understand is violence.
But the point is the average person is going to be immediately repulsed by calls for violence and extreme rhetoric, regardless of whether it is morally or technically correct.
So imagine a moderate “regular” person coming to this forum. Without the context of history that you and I have, how do they interpret these comments?

Thanks, I made an account. Waiting for my activation email :)

I’m going to tentatively upvote this. There’s a good reason the left wingers on this platform sound bitter (myself included). The Overton Window has shifted right, so they’re pretty much surrounded by toxic right-wing stuff on every other platform.
Still, it doesn’t help Lemmy attract moderates.

I really admire this, and wish I was more like this. I had conservative parents and grew up in a conservative echo chamber. I got that their opinions shoved down my throat my entire life. I have exactly 0 patience for conservative most view points. Especially when there it conflicts with scientific evidence and/or common decency.
But I’m trying to change. I’m meditating, and journaling on this. I tend to shut down conversations (online and in real life) with people that disagree with me.

I really can’t with Hacker News. The new US food guidelines were a good example. Every single damn comment was defending the inclusion of beef and dairy in it, especially saturated fat.

I’m going to be frank.
I’m highly empathetic, and studied history, sociology, economics, international relations, and a few other subjects in university. I dabble in reading as well.
It’s really, really hard for me to stomach the news coming out of the US right now. I’m Australian, so in comparison I live in a utopia. But I just want to cry whenever I see how innocent people are being hurt in the US, Venezuela, Palestine, or really anywhere else.
There is so much American news on this platform. There is so much bad news in general. I don’t come to the internet to stress and worry. I come here to learn stuff about niches and chill out. And every time I’m on Lemmy I’m left with the same bad feelings I get from reading world news subreddits.
So why should I be here instead of just switching off? I love Lemmy, but I find that I just can’t justify coming on here. It makes me feel awful.
