I’m starting to realize this also. At first, Lemmy seemed great with conversations, but it’s starting to shift waaay too far left and I’m a liberal myself.

Honestly considering going back to Reddit… just sucks because the only mobile option is their shitty app.

That’s why I clarified in my reply..

You should re read my reply and try again..

That's great! I'm glad you found something that works for you. Like I said, my laptop is running Linux (Arch btw) and I've had fun learning a new OS and I do enjoy the lack of bloatware.

I guess what I meant to say is that people act like windows is unusable, as in, they can't figure out how to use the OS like it's something very complex.

I was taught American exceptionalism and said the national anthem every school day of my childhood, K-12.

I was too and did the same, but I was taught to break away from the mold and usual thinking as a young adult pretty early on (thank you parents and to some of my teachers). I'm sorry to hear that those people in your life lied to you and never thought to help you break out of that mold.

The states is so vast that what you're saying doesn't always apply to another person. It's funny because you mention being born in Seattle and growing up in LA. Well I was born in Georgia and most people would have you believe living in the south is shit (which to be fair, some places are), but I can say my life experience has been completely different than yours.

As I mentioned before the states has its problems for sure but it's not all bad and your experience can vastly differ from another.

• The amount of people that like to shit on the U.S. constantly... Like damn I get it, we definitely have problems, but people here would have you think it's like the wild wild west over here... I promise I'm not fearing for my life every time I go out.

• The extreme left views (I'm liberal myself but some of the things people say here really have me scratching my head sometimes)

• The amount of Windows bad, Linux good posts.

• The amount of people that immediately shit on Apple because of privacy, but use an Android device that accesses the Google Play store (yes I know you can install custom privacy roms, but let's be real, how many casual users are doing this?)

• People always asking if something is FOSS...

These are just a few off the top of my head.

This! I use Linux on my laptop but also have a desktop that runs Windows 10. Some people here act like windows is completely unusable when in reality it's much more user friendly than Linux.

They absolutely should but I'm going to guess no.

Got it! I pressed it before but it wasn’t loading. Guess I just needed to give it a little time. Sorry for the trouble and thanks for the help!

Hmm strange. Maybe it’s something I’m doing wrong but I’ve attached a picture of what it looks like for me when I go to the bookmarks tab.

It’s like I get the point of this war but at the same time it’s just something about the music playing in the background like it’s some kind of call of duty montage that makes me feel uneasy about it.

I was in the military too and there are often times where I didn’t agree with certain things but it’s part of the mission.

Idk, it’s just sad and unfortunate all around.

These people have friends and family that I’m sure care about them..
