I’m not sure how this hasn’t been mentioned yet but a lot of the Midwest doesn’t like California because it feels like there’s a migration of californians who have been priced out of California moving into the Midwest who both bring their left leaning policies into right leaning areas and buy up so much property it drives housing even higher.

Not sure if you would consider it a colony sim but factorio is really good
I’ve noticed this a lot with both lemmy and Reddit. You have to go into any thread thinking about the kind of people that post is going to attract because it often times does not reflect the rest of the world
I’ve hated Reddit for a while now and was originally happy to move to another platform but I’m already seeing lemmy start to show the same behaviors I hated Reddit for so I don’t think I’m gonna last long on here anyway

I can hope it won’t but I know it’s gonna happen anyway - the chronically online mentality that was everywhere on Reddit.
On reddit it always seemed like a lot of people (or at least the most vocal ones) never actually go outside and have this very idealized and unrealistic view on the world.
