yeah, and that's what I was saying. I only ever see it here. So it's only relevant to Lemmy for me. I already looked up the term when I first created a Lemmy account because I kept seeing it used and wanted to know what everyone was so feverishly talking about and then I learned more about it.. I don't know it was pretty disappointing.
To me its just politics and I hate politics and people who like to get real fucking deep on discussing politics and live and die by their beliefs. There's a lot of that I have to deal with in real life too, so that makes it extra exhausting.
I did think the mega post about it was interesting and talked about hexbear users too - I could probably dig it up but it was such a long read. I only enjoyed it because the person who wrote it mentioned not trying to take sides on the subject, and used their own personal experience which I really appreciate.
Sadly I came over here from Reddit to get away from the kind of people who like to rip someone a new one for just sharing their own personal experiences.
