    I get that you’re angry you can’t get a job after three years at uni and 50k in debt.

    I get that you’ll never have a home that you own.

    I get that having children will be an unplanned, largely unfunded activity for you.

    I’m get that being a twenty something influencer has cred, but as your retirement age goes up and up faster than your chronological age and the state keeps raiding your personal pension that you’re forced to keep funding, spare a thought for the other influencers of 55 years that you’ll become and those diminishing returns.

    But this hill that you’re stating that you wish to die on isn’t the cleverest way to solve the previously stated problems, whether the migrants are illegal or just 'Mercans claiming to want to avoid Trump but actually looking for free NHS healthcare because they’re getting old.

    Console yourself that the political classes (stated in court) that they much prefer people from any other country over you, and that is why you to be a productive member of the populace and keep quiet.

    Pretty sure the anti steam power or electricity people were too.

    I’m a strange bugger, I like to hear both sides of an argument and especially the corner cases. That never seems to happen anymore.

    “I don’t agree with you.”
    “Your cancelled.”

    Yeah. Most of it is ranting but very occasionally someone says something interesting or someone from the pro- side makes something known that isn’t very pro- (copyright breaches etc).

    I don’t yet, but it’s getting closer.

    One reason is on me. I should choose a different instance because mine is the other side of the world from me! Different vibe. I probably haven’t moved because I enjoy experiencing local views which oppose and align with my own. Conversely, In the community context, I follow “fuck_ai” and some of the pro-AI communities because it’s important to me to see both sides of this revolution develop.

    The second is that quite a few of the Reddit communities have limited Lemmy presence with significant momentum. That will hopefully change with time and other platforms willing.

    On the flip side, I’ve found that there are many communities which have momentum which I joined on Lemmy for fun that I haven’t investigated as to whether they exist in Reddit. My interests are eclectic and transient sometimes. Perhaps my sense of wonder will wilt one day (that alliteration sounded better in my head; damn!).
