overview for jessecool1234

For me, joining the furry fandom has had a huge impact on my life in a good way. I learned that it's okay if I'm different or "cringe" as long as what I'm doing is making me happy. I no longer need validation from others that what I'm doing is okay because I now realize that those types of people needlessly bully individuals who do stuff that doesn't match their definition of "based". I feel more confident in talking to other people which led me to becoming friends with the best person I've ever met who is now my partner.

I'm curious to know your story about joining the fandom and how it has impacted you so I can get to know this community better.

ANC headphones/earbuds, anyone? by jessecool1234 in c/headphones@lemmy.film

As someone who is sensitive to loud noises, ANC in headphones is really useful for when I need silence in a pinch

I'll definitely stay. I like the idea that it's run by individual people rather than a huge corporation, and I love that the smaller user count gives it a greater sense of community. It made me realize that I don't enjoy using mainstream social media due to how lonely it makes me feel.
