@catoxis@snouts.online It's funny, really; anytime you question how really this all really is, if you aren't just all playing a big ol' game of pretend, it comes right back and slaps you in the face with it all. 💙

Been living this life to some extent or another since '07, and I'm not planning to push it back under the covers ever again~

@catoxis@snouts.online Psssssst.

Trust werewolves to be in touch with the lunar cycle. 💙

@IceWolf No idea, I've never messed with instance software of any kind myself.

@IceWolf My bad, it is the glitch.social fork and I totally mixed up the two.

Then again, emoji fonts can also be installed on a per instance basis I'm pretty sure, so who knows honestly. All I know is this is how it shows up on this particular instance, for as long as I've been around here I'm not an expert on any of this n.n;

@IceWolf Think so! Depends on the version of the software too (used to be EmojiOne in the early days in fact), though we're running the cybre.space fork ourselves here I believe.

@IceWolf Ah, yeah; this instance uses the updated version which has light gray ones, fortunately.

@IceWolf Only on this instance it does; we've got instance-only posts implemented here and ending your post with a 🐺 is basically how you use that function.

@IceWolf Makes perfect sense; I do *plenty* of the same myself, but generally if people take issue with the stuff I talk about in a place that they themselves took the time to follow, that's -their- problem, I feel.

Not that that's going to work as well for everyone, of course.

@IceWolf I guess I just feel comfortable enough here to let pretty much anyone follow me, honestly! Locking my account feels like putting up unnecessary walls when I'm proactive enough with blocks that people I explicitly don't want here don't get in anyway.

(of course, it also helps that this instance runs on a whitelist basis)

re: "Techbro" definition 

@faoluin Yeah, it's very much shorthand for "assholes with technical knowledge".

"Techbro" definition 

@faoluin At least over here, I tend to see it used for reply guys (i.e. primarily men who frequently chime in with unwanted opinions on strangers' posts, often regardless of relative expertise or relevance) who otherwise fit that definition.
