By all accounts, he was an awesome person. Full on embodiment of rock n roll. Life-long meth addict, alcoholic, and womanizer, but you never hear anything bad about him. He managed to be all those things and still be good person.

I'm a huge motorhead fan. The name is a not insignificant part of why I chose this as a reddit alternative over the others
I think that plays into it, but my most of these people aren't wealthy. They were all working class. And the most left of these people that I still talk to is is probably better off than most of the rest off them. But he's also financially comfortable because he was union.
But I think of lot of those people forgot how bad struggling really is. Nostalgia clouds a lot of opinions. I still tell stories and laugh about some things I had to do when I was struggling, and they can kind of seem like fun stories now that it's over, and the older I get, the less i think about how much it actually sucked.
I'm an elder millennial, raised by boomer hippies. My parents stayed pretty leftist their whole lives, a few of their friends still lean pretty hard left.
But many of their old "hippie" friends have gone pretty right in the last decade or so. These people had been liberal my whole life, until they hit about 60ish, and several have gone pretty conservative
I think it has a lot more to with getting old and not understanding new social trends, so you just go the other way because it's comfortable
Fair point. I am not.
It's definitely been a weird change. Reddit was comfortable, but it was because I'd figured out how to make my home there a decade ago. Lemmy isn't comfortable. I'm sure it will be fine, but it's just not what I'm used to.
It's a lot like when my favorite Mexican restaurant changed owners and everything was different. It's still a fine place (and the food might actually be better), but it isn't my comfort place anymore.
Same here. I mostly hung out in smaller, hobby subreddits. And the few I've found here are mostly dead. I really want to nerd-out with other people about shit nobody else cares about
Pretty much everybody I ever saw complain about mods was people who cant read the room, and think their opinion is so important or so novel that they should be allowed to voice it in places they clearly weren't wanted.
I was on reddit for 12 years. Voiced some unpopular opinions. Only had one comment removed that I can remember. I somehow managed to move on with my life
We've tried both clover and thyme, but we can't get them to really take off. But I think we just weren't doing enough at a time and wildlife was eating it all. Our current course of action has been killing sections of grass with a tarp, then planting the clover and our first patch is doing well.
