Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.

I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they’re so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won’t ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don’t give a fuck.

If you have a problem with the sub, maybe you should make your own sub? It’s that simple. There is a reason for the rule and it was already explained to you.

A similar thing would be great over here too, but I think it shouldn’t be in some way reddit-adjacent and I don’t think this community could ever shift to that. Not after what’s happened. There needs to be a new thing especially since this community is more about bitching about Reddit you know? If it was that easy a ton of subs on reddit would be about something completely different than what they were established for. You don’t just change an established agenda just like that.

Lemmy in general often feels a lot more like old Reddit already, which is what TrueReddit tried to hold on to.
