Comment on Anon's first day of college
WhiteHairSuperSaiyan@lemmynsfw.com 2 months agoThis comment made me think for a minute. My thought process was one initially of, “he can’t be talking to OOP we are two websites removed”. But that is the beauty of it. Someone else who may need both the OOP story and your congratulatory comment to build constructive self awareness could be on this site and learn from it. All that to say, no matter how small you think the scope of people you are reaching is keep commenting and being constructive like @Draegur@lemm.ee
It is good for the world when we support people in realistic ways. Sometimes you have to gently tell someone they are wrong, sometimes a simple congratulations go a long way. But not saying something is always worse.

i learned from appreciating those rare and beautiful versions of “i don’t know who hear to this but…” that are unironically wholesome and sincere. somebody someday might see something we wrote and feel better, be encouraged, or grow wiser. knowing how many neurodiverse people come through Lemmy and would click on that greentext because they identify with it… knowing they might explore the comments too? i want those future people to come away better than they were before they approached, even if only in a teeny tiny infinitesimal way!
