bloomer
A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
-
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
-
No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
-
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
-
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.
It's reactionary in every configuration I've seen.
"They're going to suffer" is supremely individualistic, and by extension blames the oppressed more than the oppressor because the oppressor's children won't be the ones suffering
"Too many people" in the absence of a world order that responds to need is misanthropic Malthusian nonsense. It implies that our elite is somehow innate to humanity, once again blaming the powerless and excusing the people and system responsible for ecological devastation
And "I just don't like them, they're annoying and they don't know anything" is just depressingly small-minded and nihilistic
Kids good.
