I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

Be the change. Start discussing those things, and others will eventually discuss it with you.

Hmm.. maybe? But I'm ok with it. All those things in your second paragraph are things I'd never care about anyways.

I specifically came here because I was uninterested in the pop culture chat that I was seeing in my socials. I want to talk to more people in less mainstream nerd culture

I would probably subscribe, as I love collecting and discussing all kinds of random events.

Youtube has been my main source for this stuff since I left reddit for good. I really went deep into Kanye/Drake since it was still considered a rap battle.

I watched hours of the Sean Combs development.

Mr Beast drama has been a big part of my entertainment as well.

And while my Youtube feed is usually sports free, I couldnt escape the Donçic transfer.

I dont watch TV or streaming services, so this is my entertainment before going to bed. Giving me world-politics that late just keeps me awake.

This shit was/is RIDICULOUS. I dropped off of it because life got busy but man...Youtubers were a mistake...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it was tough to stay to the facts and not get sucked into an endless self feeding loop of beast Drama.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Yes, lemmy is so small sadly.
