Did you reach a neat milestone? Did you accomplish something? Did you find a better way to do something? Did you manage to get out of bed? Great work, celebrate it at [email protected]!
There’s so much doom and gloom throughout the world lately, that it can be hard to remember that good things are still happening. Joy is resistance, so shine on!
The people at [email protected] and [email protected] and [email protected] would probably like to know about this. !thelittlethings seems to overlap in intent too, although it does not seem very active from what I see on my instance, so you might want to message the mod. Thanks, I really appreciate positivity communities.
part of why I appreciate it, mentions negativity and depressing stuff
Joy is resisting, especially if you are vulnerable to doomscrolling bad news about how people are treating folks like yourself without humanity, how you are going to be in the firing line next… if you are happy instead of constantly miserable from people treating you as lesser, that’s definitely not the will of certain powers that be. Examples of happy people who are like yourself are necessary too. Especially ones you can meet in your community instead of them being some story you read online, so you know it’s an achievable possibility for you too, not someone on the other side of the planet. Also, it means you are giving your time to yourself and your joy instead of endlessly getting stuck in distressing news loops and doing a tiny bit of enriching others via ad dollars.
Thanks! I’ll see if folks in those communities would be interested in this new one.
I also 100% agree with why these are good. Your points are the main motivations for why I created this community!
