A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

Overthinkers of the Fediverse, what are you currently freaking out about? (lemmy.world)

I’ve been on a medical LOA since last year and tomorrow I go back to work and I keep thinking about how almost all my coworkers I knew are gone and processes have changed. Also that if I do something wrong I might injure myself again and be right back where I was a year ago (I have been cleared for full job duties by my doctor).

I'm concerned that spez could be right: This will blow over, Reddit users in general don't care enough. Even a lot of us who fled here might return eventually because that's just where most of the discussion is. (Especially for breaking news, niche topics, etc).

I really wanted the admins to change course, and failing that, for Reddit to fall, but I think it's likely we'll get neither, and Lemmy will remain a sidenote. (As much as it has already grown, which is amazing to see, the whole network is still like 10% of one single top subreddit)

I obviously hope I'm wrong and that the growth we've had in the last month will just continue.

You have to remember that a lot of those large subreddits are full of bots and astroturfers. It's in reddit's best interest for those subreddits to appear full even if they aren't. They are trying to IPO.

The quality of discourse here is already higher even if there are fewer people so personally I think I'll stay here until it implodes or something better comes along.

All things considered, I don't know if it counts as overthinking, but this ocean temperature is a bit concerning and I wonder how bad next year will be. https://climatereanalyzer.org/clim/sst_daily/

My boss texted a group thread at 10:30pm and I responded in 3 different clear but relatively lighthearted ways to stop texting because I was in bed. He got annoyed. 20m later my watch gave me an alert that my heart rate was 114bpm for more than 15m and now I can't sleep.
