Born in the wrong family
It left me a gaping void
Stole from me my charity
Burdened me with worryBorn in the wrong district
It showed me the savagery
Darkness that lurks within men
To untrust the ones of normalcyBorn in the wrong city
Filled my soul with mundanity
The unbearable banale
Empty of all wonder and beautyBorn in the wrong culture
Learned to hide my reality
Lest I be killed or maimed
In the rein of traditionalityBorn in the wrong country
Flayed from me my future
Gutted sense of commonality
It branded on me miseryBorn in the wrong system
Chained me to slavery
Feeding some malevolence
Corrupted my destinyBorn in the wrong time
Hurled into moment of history
Trapped within rotting remnants
Couldn't do away with the elderlyHereby I declare to all
I reject my humanity
For no matter the causality
But only in a handul few

Why is the discourse on Tildes so much nicer than most places on the internet?
I've noticed that Tildes generally has a way more levelheaded and even friendly caliber of responses compared to many other social media sites that I've seen. I'm genuinely curious as to why this...
I've noticed that Tildes generally has a way more levelheaded and even friendly caliber of responses compared to many other social media sites that I've seen. I'm genuinely curious as to why this is. I regularly see the same article posted here that I also saw on say Lemmy, but over there the comments tend to be more hostile and explosive. Meanwhile, disagreements on Tildes rarely get THAT heated (at least as far as I have seen), even on posts involving very intense and personal subjects like politics or war. Even the disagreements and arguments I see on Tildes tend to be more respectful and level-headed, so much so that it's jarring to me to see the comments on some other site where someone's response to a user they disagree with is just straight name-calling.
Is it the invite-only nature of it? The lack of downvotes? The moderation? Confirmation bias? The demographics of the people here? Pure luck? Something else entirely?

As a non-native English speaker, I use Grammarly's free tier daily. It is invaluable to help me catch common mistakes, as well as to get a better understanding of the language through the explanations it provides. I will need to write even more English in the next few months, so it seemed like a good idea to get the Premium subscription. Unfortunately, Grammarly's pricing ($144 for the year) is prohibitive when converted to Brazilian Reais. And even if I am capable of making that payment now, I would rather avoid becoming dependent on something that is so expensive for me. So, what are some affordable alternatives to Grammarly's Premium subscription?
Just to be clear, I am aware that it is not ideal to rely too much on that kind of tool. Rest assured that my domain of English is enough that I am entirely capable of taking the suggestions as extra help and not as a crutch.
