@damon the way I handle the Fediverse is that I just assume everyone is autistic as hell. It explains everything and lets me cut people some slack.
Also, I have an industrial strength filtered words list and an itchy mute finger.

@damon not disagreeing with you, but I look like most people and people are still quite unfriendly to me.
An under-appreciated quality of #mushrooms is that they are not a single genomic organism.
#Fungi begin life as Hyphae which are microsopic threads. When a large enough community of hypae mature, they merge to form a Dikaryon; a cell with more than one nucleus. Communities of Dikaryons fuse and channel their resources into a fruiting body.
That's what a #mushroom is; the combined efforts of a community of hundreds of thousands of individuals.
They are sky-scrapers, bridges, and rocket ships!
Started calling the middle of a loaf of bread โthe kingโs breadโ and saying things like โa cheddar this fine demands the kingโs bread!โ
This is just one of the many ways I have scraped joy out of a cold and unaccountable universe.
@ricmac maybe gen z should learn to type on a keyboard
Do you follow #fediverse?
@manlycoffee I've internalized the part about not taking it personally, but I've not yet managed to suppress the need to make them shut up anyway
@Edent tell them you entered your password but don't, if they know you didn't then they at least have access to Chase's system. Do it twice just to fuck with them.
@BeAware I'd also note that though engagement seems down here on Fedi too, it's still better than Twitter or Bluesky for me. I do post differently on each though, so that might just be the fact that I'm a WAY bigger shithead on Twitter/Bsky
@BeAware it's just a feeling; the Twitter algorithm is showing lots of repeats. Usually there's a lot of unique spammy engagement posts. And Bluesky's algo feeds just don't get updated very often. Mostly it's engagement that's down. I never get much, but it's basically nothing lately.
@BeAware I'm on Twitter and Bluesky, and I've noticed a downturn in content and engagement on those as well. I think it's seasonal.
