We became afraid of being sentimental or wrong because modern internet does encourage that. I thank Lemmy for sometimes I feel like I can tell something there wihtout trying to win over someone, to be right and get upvotes. I recently replied supportively to a person I've taken a fight with a week ago, and that seems organic to what we people do over time. It's just a simple message from me, nothing to write home about, really, but I'd like for web to become less edgy and more diverse and accepting. That's the way to encourage more people to open up.
