The lack of unwanted rage bait posts and karma farmers has improved my mood by a lot. I gotta be honest though, I’m still scrolling through Apollo and giving myself my last dopamine hits before July 1st. Won’t miss that place
This is such a dream for me. Living in suburban hell has definitely impacted my mental health and overall health negatively.
I get you and that’s why most environmentalists encourage people to go flexitarian instead of fully plant-based. Eating less animal products are no doubt better than doing nothing at all.
I committed to Veganism because it aligns with my personal ethics and so far, the mock meats have been doing great! Even when I was still living in a third world country outside US, I had access to delicious foods.
The potential is great but I think it’s better to rethink our current choices and be more conscious with the food that we now have. If we lessen our consumption of animal meat then we can focus on feeding supposed animal feed crops to humans. The use of land and water would be less alongside lower carbon emissions.
I think the mods have expressed that this was more of a decision driven by the lack of efficient modding tools as of the moment. Of course, also taking into consideration that they really do want to stay true to their ethos in the first place. I personally feel better interacting within Beehaw because the community is headed in a healthier direction as opposed to just being another reddit dupe/reddit refugee camp
It’s scary how greed has made the world so hostile. It’s hard to stay ignorant about these issues because it’s just one search away on a phone. Yet, people still choose ignorance. I feel a little lost and hopeless sometimes even though I try to do my part. Finding a safe space online seems crucial for my mental wellbeing. Glad I can be here

Well, first and foremost, break the barrier of lurking and start posting. I still have yet to do that because I feel like I don’t have a lot to post other than cute pics of my dog lol. Lemmy isn’t reddit so it’s not going to be as hostile. It’s still the internet though so expect a little pushback every now and then.
Comment more on posts and try to keep in mind that each comment is like having a real face-to-face conversation with other users. This community is pleasant and I feel very at peace interacting here compared to the other site. This is the first time I’m commenting so much on posts too and it’s been a blast!
The lens makes his snoot so big lol
I think this is the first time that I saw someone's voluntary art work compensated after being implemented in a community. The transparency is surreal and very admirable. Thank you for compensating artists and valuing the art that @UrLogicFails@beehaw.org made c:
I think it's inevitable to not talk about the elephant in the room. A lot of the new Fediverse users have migrated from Reddit so a lot of the discourse over the next few days might center around whatever is happening around that place. On the other hand, I do hope that other people take the time to explore and break out of their lurking behavior from Reddit.
Quick tip for those who don't want to see any reddit discussions, just mute the word Reddit. I might do that in a bit lol
As someone who grew up sleeping through hot and humid nights, I’d recommend a stand fan or any kind of fan that’s fairly strong and cotton sheets. Keep your window and door open to allow for good air circulation in your room so that it wouldn’t become humid and musty-feeling.
I usually have the fan’s back facing either the window or the door. I also prefer the cold air blowing on my feet because it makes me feel like my whole body’s being cooled down. Hope this helps!
