Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.
RULES
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
- Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
- Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
- Keep it clean and SFW
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

Not really.
I have emotions, not afraid to shed some tears or to laugh out loudly whenever I feel like it, while most of the time I consider myself not concerned with whatever is happening around me, either because it really does not concern me or because there is nothing I can do about it.
When exchanging ideas, I'm also 100% fine with people not agreeing with what I say (and I not agreeing with what they say). For me, the ability to disagree is an essential part of living in a really diverse and really free society. Without that, there is no freedom and not real possibility to be different.
That being said, on the rare occasion where us disagreeing goes beyond that, say when someone starts trolling me or start becoming a little bit too ad hominen in their replies instead of focusing on what I said, I quickly block them once and for all: never to be seen or heard again, and immediately wiped out of my mind.
(my) Time is way too precious to waste it with such negative persons (and emotions), knowing there are so many other persons out there that are not as negatives ;)
