    Unfortunately, centrists have just the right amount of the last few things to lack looking further into anything yet make a decision on shallow surfaces.

    Which is EASILY manipulated by conservatives by simply lying that the other side is also doing their bad things. Boom. Now even turf to those who don’t research.

    Centrists seem to lack the ability to reach beyond their own worldview and cautiously accept what’s in front of them to avoid rocking the boat.

    Probably don’t want to raise wages because it’d raise the price of hamburgers. Enjoy that now $12 Carl’s Jr. Burger combo while you sit on not raising minimum wages. Scumbag.

    *Sigh. I’m just frustrated at people willfully being blind to be happy. I get it… But it doesn’t solve anything as evil continues marching on.





  • I would say the pursuit and journey for happiness is the sweet spot. It’s why artists and studios jump right back into some of the hardest processes to go through as they try new things on a new project. After finishing their movie or game, that high of achieving all of those things eventually due down and the question of what happens next settles in.

    Like climbing a mountain. Sure all the enjoyment is at the top, but once you learn to enjoy the grand scheme of the whole process, there lies happiness. Anything could happen, but it doesn’t quite matter because you’re still inspired and driven to climb your mountain.



  • It really just might be idiots with too much money. Musk makes changes willy nilly without much peer review in the similar way the Titanic sub rich guys did before it imploded.

    Then Steve Huffman was like, “Hey, I wanna get investors and money! Screw the people, the whole site is mine to play with like Elon does.”

    Money corrupts, man. It’s overly worshipped by society because of its necessity and now here we are. It’s a whole other system for the rich vs the poor.

    But to go along your route of thinking, I’d still say no because powerful social media is even powerful when the people who use it are heavily propagandized. (especially by Russia) So when communities fracture into safer sites, propaganda loses its grip and has to work harder to spread influence.

    I think the difference here is that we know the interface and trusted developer choices of those apps.

    I’m currently using Connect for Lemmy right now and I’m still excited for Sync because I’ve used it for years.

    But each update for Connect so far has been extremely good with quite a few features added. It’s also incredibly straightforward to use. So at this point I’m curious how Sync will step into the ring.

    Hell, it could have all the same features as Connect, but add previewing with a hold and that’d be an amazing thing for compressing posts. But also Sync can cater to left-handed people like me with its customization.
