I know my friend, I used to browse 4chan for years too since I was a teenager actually, I don't remember what made me leave it but I know that I didn't realize after later how hateful that site made me and how my view of the world was influenced by their echo chamber. I know it is a fun site but I realized it is not worth it, at least for me.
Well, you are here now at least, by the very definition of how lemmy works, you shouldn't have this problem here unless you are really uncivil and still you can always change the instance. There is a lack of users and content comparing to any of the platforms you mentioned since this is a relatively new one but you are helping growing it too :)
To be honest you'll do a great favor to yourself abandoning this site from hell.
It's really awesome, thanks for sharing!
While I do not disagree with you I think you missed my point. Like it or not, when he dies we will have another Pope, and I can bet money that the church is going to take the opportunity of the current trend to put a Pope that literally does the "Musk salute" and keep pushing their agenda... and like I said millions of people care a lot about what the Pope has to say. The last thing we need right now is a Pope that openly and aggressively supports far right governments in his speech.
As an ex-catholic myself I don't like too much the Catholic church, but this dude wasn't that bad comparing to all other Popes, don't forget that millions of people listen and follows whatever he says. It would not be so funny if we get a nazi apologist Pope now, to be honest I hope he lives a bit more.
Oh no! There is someone here who doesn't think exactly like I do! Pls deport
