If you really want to make a difference, get involved in an organization instead of fantasizing about being some lone wolf that takes down an individual to magically solve systemic problems.

The whole point of the movie is the mobilaziation of the people. The mask is just a symbol.

Also, as I said, I am not American. I am active in my country, but I have no reason to get involved in American politics (aside from stupid posts on social media 😅).

They also scare the crap out of my dog, and cause a lot of accidents. Though, they can be beautiful...

Lemmy's user base is pretty interesting, you will find interesting discussions in pretty much most communities. However, if don't find something interesting, don't be afraid to start a discussion on your own. Coming from Reddit I used to be afraid of the harassment, but Lemmy is a safer space ❤️

Some general pointers:

1. Beehaw is a good place to look for interesting discussions
2. If you find an interesting comment, take a look at the author's profile, chance is they have more interesting stuff for you to find
3. Filter by subscribed and hot/active
4. Look for opinion articles

Is this what autism feels like?

Sometimes yes, a lot of us feel isolated, struggle with socialization and connecting with others. Othen it helps to find other ND people, they are just as interested in whatever niche topic you are thinking about.

PS Yesterday, I started a post on AskLemmy after pondering about how technology and science is changing at a faster pace than people (mostly professionals) can adapt.

A lot of professions are involved in bridge building but specifically architects come to my mind. Anyway, building bridges sounds so fucking interesting, like these things are huge, can hold literally tonnes, forever change the life of people around them, and they can be seen from far away.

Yes, I always review the code, just avoid nitpicking the hell out of it.

Not really, we are a small team and we generally trust each other. Sure there are things that could have been better, but it's not bad either.

But they are sooo adorable 😍

Sounds fun, mind sharing your field?

Judging on other replies, it seems there are alot of people in IT/software development field that are burnt out by how fast everything is changing. That's people that understand it, are making an honest effort, but still it's too much.

Tbh, it makes me dread for my future...

I am definitely guilt for that, but I find this approach really productive. We use small bug fixes as an opportunity to improve the code quality. Bigger PRs often introduce new features and take a lot of time, you know the other person is tired and needs to move on, so we focus on the bigger picture, requesting changes only if there is a bug or an important structural issue.

That sounds a bit misleading, the server implementation is FOSS too, at any time someone could setup their own instance.

There is Alovoa, it's open source, still has a small user base, but you don't have anything to lose...
