Transcription: An image of a man slightly hunched over, with one hand pressed on his lower back. The text says “I’M HERE, I’M QUEER, AND MY JOINT PAIN IS MODERATE TO SEVERE”

    My apologies, I deal with chronic pain as well and disability as well. I guess my shitty interactions on reddit because of it has me assuming the absolute worst from people out the gate.

      Thanks man, I appreciate this a lot. I’m. Not trying to have an adversarial time here either. I know what you mean about the Reddit thing.

      I’m sorry you’ve had a hard time too. We’re gonna be okay though. I wish you the best in your fight.

        You too, I appreciate it.

        Also, this is the third time this month I’ve had this kind of interaction on Lemmy where a misunderstanding has been resolved amicably without conflict instead it turning into a bigger argument and never once did I have such an interaction on Reddit. I hope that this chill nature sticks around here.

            This was a lovely interaction with a great ending to what would more likely have ended angrily on the other site. Glad I moved here. Positive waves to you both.
