Welcome to lemmy.ca, glad you are here!
So I think this place could have more complaining about Doug Ford, high rent, high food prices and inadequate healthcare, talking about deals at No Frills. Also let’s see pictures of flowers, animals, buildings, landmarks and other cool things there is to see in this big province.
There isn’t much posted yet, so even so much as a picture of a pothole in North Bay would be good enough for now. Let’s make this a community r/Ontario could be envious of! Thanks for reading.
Yeah, it devolves into wallowing in the negatives. If any of the major complaining came with a vibe that we were going to try to do something about it (even in just a broader ‘this is one more thing to keep in mind as we build up to such-and-such’), it would’ve been more useful. I don’t know if it’s different on Lemmy, but Reddit did a lot of angry ruminating without much interest in going beyond that. Conversations would fall apart when it became anything else than agreeing about how much things sucked and would always suck forever.
So… I’m on board to have people bring up the bad stuff, but I don’t want to get lost in it.
I’d love to get lost in the awesome stuff people are doing. Communities, outreach, events, plans, talking, sharing, alerts, hobbies, chances to change things - all that stuff. I’m not trying to put my head in the sand, but I don’t want to circle the drain of negativity when there’s a perfectly good pool of good stuff to talk about. It’s all in moderation. :)
