I say that a lot, it doesn’t go over well in spaces like Lemmy where the average user has been locked in their room for a week straight with their discord polycule obsessing about the latest poorly written anime.

I have and do change people in real life, it’s far easier than it seems but we have a generation of incredibly isolated and avoidant young people who see even the slightest resistance or friction as a massive, insurmountable obstacle which signifies you shouldn’t even try and everything is hopeless.
