Off My Chest

RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

MODERATORS
 

I made 2 separate posts into 2 relatively dead communities, and despite getting a decent amount of traction (relative), the first 2 comments in each were 100% negative towards the content.
None of the commenters had ever posted content to the respective communities.

Content deleted: c'ya!

IMO - I find it quiet here, on the other hand I censor myself and try not to respond for just responding. Mostly because I don’t want the place turning like Reddit. Secondly I get sick of the internet knowing so much, so the less I comment the better.

So it’s a bit of a two sided issue, not sure if others feel the same.

I also feel I haven’t mastered my settings to see the right stuff yet.

To find the right stuff, I subscribe to non-political and non-tech communities, then browse "subscribed" by "new".

click here for a list of communities that are NOT politics, tech, or meme -related.

Most are currently active (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked) Sometimes politics, tech or memes sneak in but they're not the focus.

GENERAL DISCUSSION / QUESTIONS

ART / PHOTOS

ANIMALS

COMICS / GRAPHIC NOVELS

ENTERTAINMENT

GENRES / STYLES

HISTORY

INFORMATION / KNOWLEDGE

OTHER

FEDIVERSE

FINDING NEW/GOOD COMMUNITIES ON LEMMY

click here for a list of meme communities

MEMES, SOCIAL MEDIA REPOSTS, AND HUMOR

Most of these are currently active. (except for the ones with a * which were less active last I checked). Sometimes these include politics but that's not the sole focus.
