NEET- Not in Education, Employment, or Training Community
I opened a new community for NEETs to express themselves freely and even ask for advice or rant.
Genuinely curious. I’m aware the term is often used as a pejorative. Is this for people who feel they fall into that group, or anyone who technically qualifies? For example, someone who was just laid off and is now unemployed, and wasn’t receiving education or training—this person probably does not see themselves as a NEET and they and society have not yet applied that social stigma to themselves. What are the boundaries of NEET for the purposes of this community?
Don’t overthink it.
There is not a lot of boundaries, same as the NEET Reddit community.
I never browsed r/NEET so I figured I’d ask here—and besides, Fediverse communities need not be 1:1 recreations of the ones on Reddit. I just took a look and it seems to be for people suffering from the stigma on Reddit, would I be correct that it’s supposed to be the same thing here?
More or less, yes.
I think the NEET community on Reddit had changed by a lot(I personally think about it five years ago compared to now), that is why I might not be able to explain to you exactly what I meant when I said that my community does not have a lot of boundaries as the Reddit community.
but on here I want the community to have a wider lens than just ranting.
The short version here, is that there is a great amount of culture that is unexplored/ not widely talked about around this topic.
For example, in china they would call it lying flat, in Japan they call it Hikkomori.
I hope my community bring a sound to the NEETs and explore the evolution of that culture around it.
