I’m trying to never go back to the other place, but the thing I miss is that there was always a lively conversation going on somewhere. On lemmy, it seems people don’t want to just have a conversation-it’s either serious or techy- I’m looking for light conversations?

Does this happen anywhere on lemmy where responses to your comments come sooner than a day, and people are just sort of in the ‘lobby’ chatting?

    Since the 1980s lol. I said BACK to CO only because I spent a summer in Estes Park, and always imagined I’d come back to live out there

      Oh wow. I would highly recommend it. I love Colorado. I was hesitant to come, but I can’t imagine living in the South again. Mostly the politics and racism. I’m half Korean and I just never felt accepted in the south. Always felt out of place.

            I see the politics getting more progressive out there, but I remember it being different way back. I need to get my head out of the 90s

              How progressive CO is is one of the main things I love about it. We have an openly gay governor and he’s always doing things to help us out. There’s definitely pockets of far right. I see trump and maga stickers all the time, but I’ve yet to encounter any actual racism directed at me. It happened nearly every day back in LA.

                Coming from Florida, Georgia looks progressive now. I see constant racism in FL - it’s part of the fabric and I wish it wasn’t so. Glad you feel good where you are. I’ll have to get back out there and see again for myself
