People of Lemmy who have either "reinvented themselves" or gone through a mid/quarter-life crisis, where did you start off and where did you end up?

Which is not an issue at all. Plenty of medium-sized subs have a geographically wide spanning mod team. For a large sub like that it’s a non-issue.
I used to eat meat. Don’t anymore because the arguments against it are just that fucking strong. Basically unless you advocate for religious supremacy it’s hard to make a cohesive argument in favor of meat consumption.
OK… I mean if you don’t understand the internet then there’s not a lot I can do to help you.
This is primarily meant for people to organize themselves online. Local networks already exist and those are the channels through which protests have traditionally gone. Organizing the internet tends to be a bit messier.
Sure, I’ll add that.

My vision for this community is a space where people can encourage others to vote with their dollar and with their feet by educating them on the fucked up shit that people and companies are doing. When the community reaches 500 members, mods will also select one “cause” at a time for the community to support. If this sub grows it will need more mods, so please reach out if you’re a perpetually pissed off person. :) Thanks for joining!

I would disagree on the grounds that this will functionally just break up the community, which is the best outcome. People will get bored and move on to the next thing, and both reddit and discord will lose.
The big name movies now are so cringeworthy and require zero thought on the part of the viewer. I’d be almost embarrassed to go watch them. The worst part is that I used to watch them because there was just nothing else to see, until one day I was so bored that I walked out of the theatre. To my surprise, I was even approached and given a refund by the manager without asking… maybe they watched it too and understood the pain.

But are those the things that get marketing? I’m with you on loving that content, but none of the main theatres in my area (a city of 7 million) even show them. A couple will put them into the standard screen theatres at oddball times to fulfill their contracts, but the good content is in the local dollar theatres where, of course, the movie gets less traffic.

I think what they’re saying is that the movies that you’re “supposed” to watch are things like those god awful Harry Potter prequels (literally any fanfic amateur could have written them better), the ten thousandth Marvel movie (seriously, just stop), or those Adam-Sandler style low effort white trash movies that run solely on the recognition of the probably male and supposedly “so talented” lead actor.
