Relaxed section for discussion and debate that doesn't fit anywhere else. Whether it's advice, how your week is going, a link that's at the back of your mind, or something like that, it can likely go here.

And suddenly all is well.

I feel at peace, I often take things on the internet too literally (in person too lol). The whole "touch grass" phrase that many people use doesn't really resonate with those of us who are neurodivergent. I'm just weary of the online world, but it's refreshing to see platforms like Lemmy and others in the Fediverse allowing us to control the content we engage with. It's not just about the content, the audience is different as well.

Whew! How are you guys today?

Just wanted to chime in and thank you for providing a valid critique and reality check for folks. No matter what we do as admins and moderators, humans are gonna human (myself included) and we should be realistic about what this space can and cannot be.

I personally never envisioned this place as being a be-all end-all solution to the problem with social media, just one attempt (among many) to find ways to do it a little bit healthier. Building on the shoulders of giants and all - maybe some of our principles will make it into another healthy platform in the future.

With that being said, I do want to be clear that if you ever have a critique or would like to report things that aren't working on this instance, please speak up about it! We can only act on information that is surfaced to us and we want to do our best to curate the best space we possibly can in our little corner of the internet and fediverse.

This is also as good a time as any to remind our newcomers, such as @kimagurevenus@beehaw.org, to go read through our docs when you've got a minute. Of particular note the core principles outline most of what kind of community we're trying to provide a space for and how we expect people to act on our instance.

Thanks for the reply. I might come back to you at some point.

A quick heads up: For some reason, this reply does not appear in my Inbox here on Beehaw. No idea why, maybe it's worth looking into.
