I was thinking that since most people here left Reddit for whatever reason - despite it being inconvenient - then having strong principles and actually sticking to them might be a common theme among the userbase here.
I don’t think I am, particularly. More like I am finally in a place where I can make principled choices - kids grown, stable living situation, working, feeling mentally settled, not as anxious or struggling as before. Like from this more privileged space I can avoid more of the bad choices that I might have made out of desperation.
Lemmy I just like because it’s smaller and not corporate. Reddit was like that once too. I don’t find it inconvenient to be on this platform.
I strive to be, but I know I fall short of living entirely true to my values. I think we all do. But I at least try.
depends.
is it a topic I care about? probably.
it’s not? probably not.
Somewhere between principled and petty. I’ve got a mental blacklist of places or brands I won’t buy from because either they’ve wronged me, given shit service or done something I don’t agree with. And in recent years I’ve added countries to that list too.
We should be friends.
Same place I’m falling on the spectrum. Some things I stand by on principle, and execute alignment to the best of my abilities. For other things? Spite.
people here left Reddit for whatever reason - despite it being inconvenient - then having strong principles
that’s a VERY low bar.
