Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community
1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.
2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.
3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.
4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.
5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.
6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

The world is a wonderful and diverse place. Looking at your comment history I see some slurs that, to me at least, hint that you are a younger person.
My main advice to have empathy, be accepting and realize that many people live their own lives most of which are very different than yours.
People can learn, change, and live unique and meaningful lives. :)
Oh I’m just spouting off occasionally with hyperbole, rants and un-serious trolling.
Don’t sweat it.
I’m glad. :) And worry not. I do try to make the world a better place where I can, but I understand that I can’t get too invested in every attempt. In this case no sweat was involved. Just empathy.
TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life.
I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation.
Poe’s law etc.
I understand. In this case I would encourage you to exercise that empathy online. Is it worth making others feel worse in order to make yourself feel better? I hope you don’t feel so.
The world is what we make it. Lemmy is new enough that we are now setting the tone. I want to push Lemmy away from the “leave of legends” style perma salty attitude as much as I can. I encourage others to build positive spaces too.
Yeah I hear you. TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something.
Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess.
I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here.
