Maybe all of Lemmy could play a game like chess, pokemon, etc. Like twitch plays videos.

I have also heard about Keet.

Not my title I just crossposted someone else’s but I can change it.

Well that sucks and I hope the communities around you grow to be bigger so they can help more people. As for me I was able to find mutual aid network that is supported by DSA of america so it seems like its more organized and more robust so I think for now it depends on where you are.

Someone else said in response to my comment in a different post that it is sort of a chicken and the egg problem where people have to join the network first before the network becomes useful and I think that’s what is happening here where people aren’t joining therefore they have a lack of organization for those communities.

P.S. Just randomly looked through mutualaid.wiki and it seems you are right. You might have more luck on mutualaidhub.org or just searching up mutual aid on google.

I mean I sorta thought that most people haven’t heard about them but also it seems like a simple enough answer that the fact that most people haven’t heard of it meant that people haven’t been willing to share the idea meaning that something was wrong with the idea.

So I am asking other people that have heard about them about the problems.

This is my answer in another comment on a different post.

I only heard about them recently too so I might give an incomplete answer but the general gist is that mutual aid is when a group of people band together and share whatever resources and services that they have to offer to other people in that group.

So if someone made an excess of vegetables in their garden they would give that to others in the group with expecting anything immediately in return in the hopes that when their fence breaks down and they request help someone with knowledge on how to fix it would be willing to come help.

As for finding mutual aid groups I’ve seen mutualaid.wiki and mutual aid hub but I’m not sure of what else there is.

I mean even then I’d still say you should actively search for what you are looking for. If you want to listen to something about painting because you have an art project you are working on actively search out a podcast episode that tackles that topic. Instead of just having someone that you know about and listening to them 24/7 letting their thoughts become your thoughts.

Yeah sometimes the best thing for your mental health is to spend time with your own thoughts by yourself off of social media. I have family members that are connected online all of the time and barely spend time thinking without being influenced by what’s going on in the news that day. It has a toll on them.

Honestly more work places need to unionize and I think a programmer’s union would be great.

I mean I don’t think thats the full story. You should try looking at this interactive website.

The Evolution of Trust

Yeah real politics is complicated and messy but that doesn’t mean we should demonize the act of fighting for our rights. And that is the thing that I am worried about. That people are starting to see fighting for your rights as a bad thing.

Ah ok. Thx.

I wish people weren’t angry at the protest but instead at the more oppressive forces of society. Also sorta unrelated but what does Otoh mean?

Yeah I remember reading that article. I just wanted to find a more recent one to remind people of this.

Edit: I like how accessible the article and video makes it so I am going to put it in the description.

That makes sense. I wonder what a good solution to that would be though?
