Hi I just signed up to this Lemmy instance. I don't like the so-called Reddit communities for NZ. There's too much sarcasm and complaining, and not enough good sense, or enough political action (eg. on housing).

I give it a few weeks until we're inundated with the usual politics, cost of living, housing, supermarket posts. It'll be like we never left Reddit.

I don't mind these topics, I think we need real life meetings, not people online who ask "hey has anyone else feel the same way as I do, regarding __________". If people feel the urge to get this out of their system, they need to do it offline. Supermarket posts need to go into a cancer category. Some topics just crop up every week or month, and there should be a board called cancer, for this purpose. Some of these topics (usually people's frustrations) wear my patience, but I want to support those people if I can.
