I would probably follow beehaw elsewhere as long as it was safe to do so for me. I think this is something important to keep alive wherever it may be. I also think for anyone who wants to stay on lemmy and would miss beehaw, if you can create your own. It may not be the easiest thing thing for everyone to do but I’m sure there are more people out there who want a space that has the simple fundamental rule of be nice. We need more of this online and honestly trying to keep it within the confines of lemmy alone doesn’t make sense. Spread kindness and let the spirit of beehaw grow far and wide.

Vivaldi is based on Chromium.

Do you have any tips or articles or anything you could share or recommend to make Firefox more like Chromium? I’m really struggling with Firefox glitching and hanging and having lots of issues and have for years but at this point that’s better than the nonsense Google is pulling I guess.

Because it’s nearly impossible to find good content let alone find what I’m after. The algorithm is constantly pushing things I don’t want to see. I’d be happy to pay if that weren’t the case.

Sounds about right. Republicans will gladly step in their own pile of garbage just to be able to point and laugh at the other guy they perceive as their enemy.

Aww this is amazing!!! ❤️

Oh alright, I’ll check that out then thank you so much! :)

I mean when you’re houseless, the last thing you’re doing is planning a riot that isn’t going to amount to anything either. The kind of change we need takes community, mutual aid, planning, resources, and making sure everyone can come together and stay afloat, and lots of time. It isn’t something that can happen overnight. When you are on the street you’re in survival mode, planning your next meal, how to survive, and how to get out of that situation. There’s no bandwidth left to do anything more than simply survive.

That’s not a far cry from the situation a lot of people are in right now even if they have a roof over their heads. We’re all in survival mode trying to make sure the bills can be paid, there’s food on the table, and we don’t lose everything. We’re exhausted, burned out, and we have a huge empathy problem. We’re not functioning at full capacity and it’s hard to do much about the situation when it is purposefully built to keep crushing us to make sure we are also unable to fight and get out of it.

If you want change, it’s up to you, me, and everyone else to start educating ourselves more on our history, how it got this way, and how to come together and build ourselves up in a community so that we can stand together and care for each other and actually make those changes that we want to see. It’s not easy but it would definitely help if people would stop blaming each other for the issues and point their fingers at the right people and again, educate themselves. All of this inevitably ties back into politics and too many people can’t grasp that concept either and refuse to participate which means they are actively choosing to not even try to understand how to have a better future. Some of us right now don’t have a choice because we’re targets.

I don’t think people are quiet either, there’s plenty of discussions and videos even online of people discussing these things and feeling the same way. Things are changing. People are waking up to what’s happening but they have to decide to keep moving forward. We’re in a really weird place right now.

Anyway I’ve rambled enough, there’s a lot more people who have much more knowledge on this than I do and who are more qualified to speak on it.

I’ve always been of the mindset to save wherever I could, so it’s interesting to hear some people aren’t like that. It’s kind of just a given to me and the people I’ve been around to try to prepare for whatever we can as best as we can before it happens. I’m glad you were able to prevent things from getting worse for yourself and hopefully you can always carry this lesson with you into the future. It’s definitely a good don’t take things for granted story I think as well.

I mean that goes back to the point of people are not able to come together at this point and are scared to lose what little they have left. I think we’ll have to lose it all at this point to get people to budge but who knows. I agree with you though!

I don’t think people are okay with it, I think people are probably afraid to lose what very little they have left and like what are we going to do anyway? Protests don’t work. We’d have to come together and we have all been incredibly divided and taught to hate each other. We can’t even have conversations online without people picking fights for literally no reason.

Finance seriously isn’t a place to chat about finances? That doesn’t make much sense. It can help so much to work through those things and not feel so isolated when people are able to share their stories… It would be nice to have that space here for sure.

That aside, what you did isn’t possible for most, and that number grows daily. You’re extremely privileged to have been able to do this and I’m sure you know that and are grateful that you were able to do it, but it comes across a little tone deaf to make this post considering how many people are struggling and kind of feels like a kick while people are down. People are well aware of this advice and I’m sure it wouldn’t be a second thought for many to save up money for emergencies if it were at all achievable. To that end, I’m not sure what the point of posting this is.

It would help if food, healthcare, education, housing, the right to bodily autonomy, and a few other things were treated as actual human rights that we are obligated and entitled to have instead of something that you have to toil to earn even though the more we toil that trickle down never kicks in and we are losing rights as we go. I know this varies by country and region but with where we are in society none of this should be as hard as it is, and people are needlessly suffering.

I’m glad you were able to overcome that. I don’t know if this is too personal to ask but were you really mad at others or was it something else driving you?

Exactly, but I still just can’t begin to wrap my head around how miserable you have to be to live life like that. Yikes.

I don’t get why the admins at lemmy.world are like that at all. Then they keep turning around and changing the story when there’s literal logs and evidence to the contrary. It’s one drama after another and seems to keep escalating. Then they come over here and harass and bully us or they mock us from their instance.

I don’t get what the issue with be nice is… how far has society fallen that people can’t grasp and follow this one simple rule? Or that they feel the need to make fun of it and others who participate? I’ve noticed any time people come together to make a safe space or community the hateful people definitely seek it out to try and ruin it. It’s infuriating. Even if someone disagrees with being nice for some reason, they could just move along.

It’s getting harder to see nuance especially in the US when it generally means the argument of one side is fighting against your life, rights, or ability to stay safe. That definitely isn’t helping at all.
