This is my 1000th comment on Lemmy and I think it's a good time to take a look back. It's already been 2.5 years, and although I haven't participated much, I feel I have started to learn a lot and grow politically thanks to Lemmygrad, Hexbear more recently, and a few comrades on lemmy.ml and other instances (even the occasional .world). 2 years ago I was very much a lib. Now I sometimes take the time to read through articles, made a list of books to read and bought a few, to my family and I. To reflect, time passes too quickly and I haven't read the tiny Engels book on my night stand. I'm lucky enough to not have a physically demanding job but at the end of the day I'm still exhausted and drained. I wish others in my branch could realize we are very much exploited, even though it is at different degrees.
Another bothering point is that even the leftist of my friends has a hard time challenging the non stop propaganda we are fed, and it's depressing
This comment was a mess. Thank you Lemmygrad, keep it up, and for those who have the energy to explain basic things to liberals: yes, it matters
Remember countries in the Dontesk region have declared their independence after the coup d'รฉtat in Ukraine and after Ukraine bombed the region. Ukraine has never respected this independence
Today was a relief from the heat of the weekend in Paris so I was glad for that. I have had a pretty tough couple of weeks but I try to find the positive in any good time and the people around me. Hope you can reconnect with people or to new people you feel good around
Giving feedback from the other side of the comradeship wall, you hardly have downvotes on your comments anyhow. Even libs downvote you less than lemmy.ml and lemmygrad users
Folders are coming soon, a new PR has been open yesterday
