The easiest and simplest thing you can do is volunteer at your local food shelter. If you truly want to act. Feed people.

How about stop doing the easy things?

There's nothing wrong with encouraging others to be better versions of themselves. The problem is many people aren't capable of doing so without being toxic AF.

No improving the current system allowed!

[–] WrenFeathers@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago

Perfectly summarized.

But doing nothing wrong is the greatest right you can do, no?

[–] Lv_InSaNe_vL@lemmy.world 6 points 1 hour ago

Perfect is the enemy of progress

[–] PoPoP@lemm.ee 8 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Doing nothing wrong is doing nothing, period.

Guess we know where you sit on the Trolley Problem spectrum :P

[–] WraithGear@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Great now we get to argue what nothing and something is…

Can we stop attacking each other? They are working the "divide and conquer" from every angle, can we not create yet another division within a group of people that agree with each other?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 1 points 3 hours ago

Democrats and liberals are doing the dividing themselves every time they attack people further left of them for daring to actually have principles.

So no, you can’t stop.

I believe it's actually the opposite. So many extremists or "I don’t agree with you therefore you’re a troll" bullshit.

You get censored and banned for pretty much anything. Lemmy is no exception and pretty obviously like that.

I've said some vile, fucked up shit while I'm having a bipolar depressive episode, but I have yet to get modded for a single thing.

You can basically say whatever the fuck you want, like 4chan. But unlike 4chan, Lemmy hasn't yet devolved into a cesspool of hate and bigotry. Probably only 'cause the average troll is too stupid to figure out how federation works.

Seeing as I have not been banned for anything I have to disagree.

[–] raltoid@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

It really depends on the community and the mods awake at the time.

One of my accounts got a week ban from a larger community for being "accusatory". Because I said someone sounded like they were spreading misinformation.
