i deadass quit all other social media
It’s because the other internet is ruled by tyrants and pedophiles.
Most probably nepophiles as well. Or just basically sex offenders of all categories.
This is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.
Bureaucrat level up!
But I’m here, and I’m not neurodiver…ah beans
Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We've gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We're the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.
And for us Gen-X/Gen-Y folks, all the Fediverse needed to do was to say "it'll be just like the Internet in the 1990s" and we were like "HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP"
Gives me BBS era / Usenet vibes, yesss
you say that but i just saw this post about the Formulars for different kinds of rizz in my time line
I much prefer this, our own internet, but without the "blackjack and hookers".
(I'd like to think that OUR Sex Workers are ethically sourced owners of their own means of production rather than trafficked and/or exploited by pimps or other parasitic human vermin... but one must remain vigilant.)
unionised sex workers
Well to be fair, there's not just neurodivergent people in the Fediverse.
There's also a bunch of queer people. And furries.
Also neurodivergent queer people, neurodivergent furries, queer furries, and neurodivergent queer furries. Duh.
In other words, all the cool kids.
Isn't queer technically also neurodivergent?
I see nothing wrong about this. Carry on.
Which internet should I be on? The one that's ran by friends of a pedo? Or the one ran by a pedo's company? Or the one with an actual, 100% for real, CSAM-generator built into it that was too weird to get to be as much of a pedo as he wanted to be?
Let's get some more posts about spoon design, OK? I like the validation.
It does kinda make me feel slightly happy that Elon is a loser in every circle he’s ever wanted to be part of
It's just a return to where internet access was a filter, and you didn't have Boomers on MySpace and phpBB
While the rest of social media is where neurotypical people go to talk with bots?
also, there's no karma system and no karma farming
and we can say unpopular things without worrying about downvotes
uh
eating pizza with a fork and knife is kinda enjoyable
you get to taste more pizza per pizza, and you take your time to savor it
I find I have no evidence to rebut this claim.
This should be the motto of the fediverse.
It's a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don't see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is "Oh just create it", but I don't have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.
Create the spaces you want to see, it is very low effort, then put up a post asking for others to help so they can get to it when you are not there. We rarely get problems other than spam here and there, but the small ones are extremely quiet. No one is spamming !orchidaceae@mander.xyz lmao. If you have a team, you can pass it off if you get burnt out and replaced. Do not be afraid! We need a diverse array of mods, do not let us get like Reddit where too many are controlled by a handful of folks. I fully plan on releasing many of mine to a team of more qualified folks when the time comes. :)
TBH this disappeared on Reddit too. All my preferred fandom subs are now cesspools, with zero depth in fandom knowledge yet weird, cultish worshipping of the material. Bigger general subs feel like bot farms.
Piefed's /c/television is 1000x better.
But the best places on the internet for that are probably the TVTropes forums, SpaceBattles, and other "surviving" fiction boards.
Not really. It’s simply more authentic than Reddit. And, no ads.
Nah, I ain't neurodivergent everything else is true.
You need more vaccines /s
I may need to drink 5 shots of Tylenol everyday
Please don’t, you will get liver failure before autism
You might say that now, but each time you post on here your neuro diverges a little.
Isn't that why/how the Internet was created?
Yeah, and then the corpos created platforms to bring the non-neurodivergent people to the internet.
That's the killer app for the fediverse. Because non of y'all have the attention span to become a long-term influencer turned into a grifter. And I love it.
That's the Internet in general to begin with.
...until the "money people" started getting involved.
Yup, and yup.
Golden age: "Let's share ideas freely and argue over semantics"
Silver age: "Let's share everything freely and jerk off to it, ignoring the ads"
Bronze age: "Let's share nothing, stream everything, visit 5 websites, and buy buy buy."
And I feel good for it. Thanks to all the folks out there who are making it happen
was this not the intended use?
Yup. I fucking love it here.
Ever since I discovered this side of the internet, I love it and I'll never leave it.
