Well articulated! I wish we could operate in that space more often.
Healthy discourse might get us humans somewhere instead of infighting with our neighbors

That’s fair, and I’m glad you’re in a part of the world that allows you to express yourself freely.
If being on the stage, dressing different, or playing the drums is something you want to go at, I’d say do it. You won’t know it until you’re in it. There will be some aspects you like, and some you won’t. What you perceive and what actually is, are often different.
I’ve always found that the things I excel at, are the things I’m genuinely interested in. And when I follow those paths for a while, they all have similar lessons. It’s like an all rivers lead to the ocean kinda thing.
Counter intuitively though, I also feel more liberated when I’m disciplined about getting little goals done on those paths. When I follow my exact, in the moment emotions, it usually leads me to addiction and forms of laziness. Just gotta push through the bullshit for a bit lol. “Beauty stems from pain” sort of fits with what I’m saying here. Might not be the same for everyone though, but for the past few years I’ve been excited to get out of bed lol.
Anyways, listen to your heart and you’ll feel full. Good luck!
What do you mean specifically when you say you want to explore yourself more? What would that entail?
Id be surprised if all admins of every instance that’s federated with Lemmy are all on the same page, let alone looking for narrative driven bots.
I see “Ukrainian combat footage” with hundreds of upvotes and no comments, there was also an article speaking positively about facebook that had lots of upvotes and no comments (it’s in my history of you look, because I commented lol) - those look like red flags to me
There’s already loads of upvote/downvote bots in the fediverse here - would not be shocked if a large portion of them are from governments
Hah! yeah
How does Microsoft always fly under the radar?
I don’t see it either, OP is trolling until I see otherwise. OP posted this in other instances too while claiming it is real - no links provided and they didn’t even bother to put a date/time stamp on the fake tweet
Energy producers (one of the largest industries) of all kinds input propaganda into the world about their business - and their business is tied to climate research for public perception. Climate is definitely a manipulated message in one form or another
“Misleading Ads, funding experts, lobbying opinions”
This is also just every large industry/corporation ever
You’ve found the lost city of pedantics
People are just people, why would it be any different for gay folks? Just click baity article bullshit
Conversely, everything is far right if you’re left
This bill is insane - “hate propaganda is raised from 5 years to life imprisonment”.
“Hate” is a loose enough term that this government (or a future one) will over step this for sure.
Is putting someone in jail for life even a good way to handle bullying?
Politics is all about theatrics in this age.
Perceptions matter more than the truth
The L that the feds deserve! Amazing. My faith in our systems has almost been restored
Let’s see how the inevitable tax payer funded appeal goes
That’ll be $400 for the privilege…
I 100% went back and checked, after I was told it’s “very small” and probably wouldn’t notice it.
I appreciate you trying to help out though, thank you. You’re the most competent CRA employee I’ve ever spoken to
15km? Heat with oil? What small city in Nova Scotia do you live in?
Why is it my fault that the government imposed a tax, and then said “don’t worry, we’ll give it back!” and then didn’t?
My main complaint here is that I constantly have to jump through ridiculous hoops with the government to get money that I’d already earned, but they just take it freely
I’m not in those provinces
If it’s free from a for profit company, you’re most likely the product
