Lemmy probably feels like Reddit when it first started, all warm cuddly and friendly to newcomers eager to discuss and collaborate around central topics. (lemmy.world)

I joined reddit on the tailwind, so it was all echo chamber, we hate newcomers, gatekeeping, automod frenzy, too many rulebreakers, too many rules, etc I could be wrong, but thats what I imagine it used to be like.

Sorry, the "you're not helping" isn't directed at you specifically. It's you as in landlords who do that and then say they're helping someone not be homeless.

I live in reality, but I don't live where you do. Where I live, homelessness is a HUGE problem and the streets and people's backyards are filled with tents. I'm not even exaggerating. Go look at Portland, Or news. It's all about homeless people. People have an extremely hard time finding housing here.

There's nothing comical about being homeless.
