I love interacting with you all very much, and I know there's a lot of important political issues in the world going on right now. I love my Linux Mint setup, I support Palestine and trans people, and I've blazed through all of OG Star Trek, TNG, Voyager, and am now on DS9.

But I also want to discuss Luka to the Lakers and Kendrick calling Drake a pedophile and getting 5 Grammy's, a tour, and a Superbowl halftime show out of it, you know? I wanna talk about your country's Eurovision entries. Am I just not in the right communities?

Be the change. Start discussing those things, and others will eventually discuss it with you.

Hmm.. maybe? But I'm ok with it. All those things in your second paragraph are things I'd never care about anyways.

[–] shortrounddev@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I specifically came here because I was uninterested in the pop culture chat that I was seeing in my socials. I want to talk to more people in less mainstream nerd culture

[–] Chocrates@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

Yes, lemmy is so small sadly.

I would probably subscribe, as I love collecting and discussing all kinds of random events.

Youtube has been my main source for this stuff since I left reddit for good. I really went deep into Kanye/Drake since it was still considered a rap battle.

I watched hours of the Sean Combs development.

Mr Beast drama has been a big part of my entertainment as well.

And while my Youtube feed is usually sports free, I couldnt escape the Donçic transfer.

I dont watch TV or streaming services, so this is my entertainment before going to bed. Giving me world-politics that late just keeps me awake.

This shit was/is RIDICULOUS. I dropped off of it because life got busy but man...Youtubers were a mistake...

[–] vxx@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah, it was tough to stay to the facts and not get sucked into an endless self feeding loop of beast Drama.

[–] slinkyjelly@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

I dunno I barely know what people are talking about anyways even when using reddit or twitter because most of my interests are aren't that mainstream

[–] TachyonTele@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I don't. We have most of the news everyone else has, if not the same. So i feel up to date on world events on the days i don't bother reading actual news.(Although id prefer less USA news everywhere)

For entertainment there are comms, especially on .ee that cater to movies and tv well enough. Though some stuff slips by, but that's ok.

For more specific things it helps to search for whatever subject you're interested in. Barring Superbowl, which is actually Superb Owl, I'm sure there's people here talking about the game and the show. Sports is definitely covered on lemmy.

If there isn't that you can find, then make it happen. People interested will reapond if you post it.

The big events of my Sunday were !superbowl@lemmy.world and Monsterdon. I consider this an absolute win. My cousin was telling me something about some halftime show but I was like huh?

Mixed feelings about Eurovision entries. I like seeing them without expectations. I had no warning that Kaarija's Cha Cha Cha or Go_A's SHUM were gonna be as epic as they are. I'll probably be on Mastodon when Eurovision's live.

Anyway, nothing's keeping you from the mainstream social media if that's where you'll find what you need. You're always welcome here!
