Idk why I’m mentioning it but compared to a lot of other online platforms where if religion is being mentioned outside of a religious community it is really in your face on Lemmy it seems like when it is mentioned outside of that kind of community it seems relevant to whatever they are saying and are generally nice....

I post quite a bit here but it feels so damn quiet. Why?

I worked in the food industry for a while before returning back to school to get a degree in tech thinking it would be my path to a better life. While at first I thought where my career was taking me provided exactly that, I’m absolutely miserable working a corporate job in tech. I’ve seen several layoffs, AI is taking over,...

I’m from Brazil and we don’t have a term for that as far as I know, so there might be a linguistic component to the sentiment I have as well....

My list would be...

First of all, I am speaking to all of you in a non-official capacity. Hence, why you are finding it in the chat community....
