Perhaps a new community is called for; something which encourages earnest thinking and open discussion but is not hardcore technical philosophy. I think it should be called ‘interestingthoughts’ or ‘thatsinteresting’ or maybe even just ‘thoughtful’. There is already ‘showerthoughts’ but that seems to be a bit more humour-based than what you’re talking about.
I would enjoy reading and replying to posts on it and posting to it myself too. I haven’t started a community on Lemmy before and I’ve got quite a bit on my plate at the moment, so I don’t think I could take it on as a mod alone but if you want we could try doing it together. Let me know what you think :)
I agree that it can look like people are self-promoting and seeking prestige on social media. I find that following hashtags on Mastodon is a good habit for sidestepping this. It shifts the focus to topics rather than identities. The same goes for Pixelfed. I’ve got a beautiful feed on Pixelfed made up of different types of art and photography that I like.
Don’t take it to heart and remember that there are other posts/comments that received way more downvotes, my own included! I’m sorry to hear you’ve had a rough time online. I’ve appreciated this post though and you’ve had some upvotes, so I’m sure others have too.

I’ve seen plenty of films but that one tops my list for ones that shouldn’t be watched by kids.
I sometimes post thoughts/questions and usually get some interesting discussion, so it is worth it. I think I also prefer seeing other posts like this. I think that the reason for seeing more posts which are links is because a) it’s easier and b) most online content is somewhere on the clickbait spectrum and the result of that is manifested here on Lemmy much the same as it would be anywhere else.
Edit: Also, I’m upvoting your post because I think you are essentially calling for firsthand thoughtful discussion, which is a good thing for everyone.
I only used it to do occasional stuff to my photos that simple photo editors cannot do.
I’m aware I’m not properly answering your question here but it sounds like you might be better off ditching Adobe and using something like GIMP or Krita. I went through a period when I was struggling with my cracked version of photoshop and not getting anything done and discovered it was much more efficient and relaxing to spend a couple of hours learning GIMP.
If you’d rather use photoshop that’s fair enough but I thought I’d just share my experience and offer a nudge in a different direction :)
Looks good, subscribed and will be posting there 👍
I think spending all of it on feeding people who are starving. You could keep a lot of people alive on a million, even if it was just for long enough to give them a second chance on their own. And even if that second chance failed, then at least all of the goodness of those people would have more time to be in the world.
Whoever did this is an absolute legend.
Are you planning to build an aquarium by any chance?
When I was a kid I thought grownups were out of touch when they used slang and it made me cringe.
Now I’m a grownup I know that they did it to make me cringe.
I don’t play darts but it makes me genuinely sad to hear that.
That’s really cool :D The creative photography that I’ve rediscovered has given me a reinvigorated sense of my artistic self-woth. The Hi-8 tape footage i’ve processed so far is more candid and bit of a mind-warp though…
Just the other day I came across some CDs that I used to back up some important data about 15 years ago (and which I thought I’d lost). They were absolutely pristine 👌
Writefreely is a fantastic option. Your posts and profile integrate perfectly with the Fediverse right out of the box, it’s nice to look at and really nice to use. It’s also FOSS. RSS is supported by default. If you want to tinker with it you can add custom CSS and it’s self-hostable. I host my own instance and it’s by far the simplest & easiest federated software I’ve run. An absolute peach - highly recommend!
That sounds like a massive pain in the backside.
