Everything that you mention here as driving forces of climate change are more the fault of the ruling class at that time than boomers as a generation. What wealth everyday boomers had was more than what we had today, however the ultra-wealthy had significantly more ability to drive policy decisions than most boomers put together and they made the calls that structured the world with the climate-destroying system it has.

Also the ruling elites are the ones who took that generational wealth from this generation by their decisions as rulers. I don’t think it’s fair or accurate to blame boomers for what has happened to the planet.

Your rage is reasonable. We are living on the verge of a planet spiraling into chaos. I would just encourage you to place the blame where it really lies: ultra-wealthy ruling elites who are and have been running the planet into the ground while stealing all our time and money.

As much as it would be amazing to move everyone over, reddit communities represent years of cultivation and community organizing. Trying to rebuild that again isn’t an easy task, and it shouldn’t have to be done at all. This site should belong to the people who put in all the unpaid volunteer hours, not money-grubbing shareholders and CEOs. I can see why some people are so reluctant to abandon the community efforts they have worked diligently on for years. That being said I hope they all decide to ditch reddit and come over here as well.

The multiple instances thing confuses me too. That was my biggest stumbling block to even getting an account - I could not figure out how it worked to just get an account and get to see what I’m used to seeing on Reddit which is the various feeds of content. It initially looked like Discord or something which is not what I’m looking for.

I’m hoping there is more clarity on that for newbies in the future because I can’t be the only person whose eyeballs rolled into the back of their head trying to understand.

I’m super new and still need to get the hang of the instance thing. For the experienced folks: is there not an aggregation of content between instances? I am hoping not to have to work to see content from different places. The aggregate views of Reddit for communities I subscribed to/front page was mostly where I lived.

Of course I’ll try to understand and read up, just noting where things are not intuitive in a way that could prevent users from coming over.
