I don’t disagree with you, but it’s THIS kind of “Reddit” bullshit that we don’t need on Lemmy. Your comment doesn’t solve anything. It doesn’t make anyone feel good but you. In fact, it hurts people. Have some restraint.
If you want to be on a better social network than Reddit, then start acting like it.
Well said.
Agreed. I don't particularly like posts like this either because they bum me out and bring back emotions from when I lost my dog. It sucks. But I think as long as there are communities about animals there will inevitably be people who engage with them as a way to process their grief. I think accepting that just comes with the territory.
OP, I'm very sorry for your loss. RIP Tequila. I hope you are able to find healing soon. Give yourself some time every day to grieve.
If there is one thing that is unwelcome from reddit to here, it's comments like this. This is first and foremost a community, not your entertainment center.
