I don't have much of a problem either way as I don't think I'll be engaging in political discussion on this website past this post but it seems like any sort of non-left wing opinions or posts are immediately trashed on here. That's fine. There's clearly a more liberal audience here and that's okay. I just don't want Lemmy to become a echo chamber for any side and it seems to be that way when it comes to politics already.

Mostly making this post just to drum up discussion as I'm new here.

My experience hasnt been like yours at all and i am sorry you think you're weird or something?

I mean i was a loner because geographically a lot of kids didn't live near me. I took the time to learn about people and everyone who works with me likes me, but i also kept myself safe and i enjoy being weird.

My experience with discord is it's a place like highschool where people get shut out if they arent as loud.

Im not sure why you're anti thoughtful young people, i think people enjoy a lot of different activities and informing yourself of the world around you is exactly what makes well adjusted people, not late jight drunken hang outs.

It's been weird. Have a good one and work on thinking better about tech and those hobbies. No one "well adjusted" really throws that stuff away as inherently maladaptive. I think in person peer pressure not to grow because you live around ignorant people wont have a lot of appeal to a good person.
