It’s not necessarily about being rich. You have an identity that can be abused to get stuff like credit and loans and open up accounts depending on what they can get.

I enjoy watching and chatting in smaller streams sometimes (like, a couple hundred in the chat at the MOST, usually < 100), it’s still parasocial, but tends to be WAY more chill. If it’s a stream with thousands of people, I don’t see the point in chatting, it’s passive entertainment at that point for me, personally!
What are you talking about? Fireworks for potato salad??
Why not just save the post?
You’re right, I’m bringing reddit into the picture where it was not even mentioned, I apologize. I meant to clarify that they’re usually referred to as “communities” and not “subLemmy” but did so in an unnecessarily snarky way.
They’re called “communities” on Lemmy, no need to bring reddit-speak with us over here
A great realization that I had was that many of my language pet peeves were really preferences and not hard and fast rules. Language constantly evolves, regardless of how any one person feels. Clinging to my pet peeves was really just a form of elitism.
Was? Like… past tense?
You didn’t defile anything, if anything you fulfilled why they would have wanted their ashes scattered in that vicinity. They likely enjoyed that spot for the same reasons you did and would probably be glad that you found it too
