    I was just pondering this on my way to work. Balzac’s “Behind every great fortune is a great crime.” (I’m doubtlessly misquoting it)

    Whether it’s directly adjacent the monetary gain or displaced by distance and time, it always holds true.

    Yeah I hear you. TBH I think it’s because Lemmy is so quiet, sometimes 100% of the time in some communities, that I frequently don’t care what sort of engagement I get as long as it’s something.

    Chasing the dopamine of social interaction I guess.

    I can’t promise to only foster empathy everywhere but I’ll do my best to be cool here.

    TBH I actually have a lot of empathy but I also love going off half-cocked online. Probably as a release valve for my inner demons which don’t get exercised enough in daily life.

    I’m rarely actually serious (apart from my hatred of the disfunction-by-design of the RightWing) but it’s easy for that to get lost in translation.

    Poe’s law etc.
