Read this or not, as you will 

I think that I was just told that I wasn't treating someone like a human because my emotional labour wasn't focused on them.

I am really not sure how to react to that, blocking seems a bit harsh in context but still very tempting.

sads, family, mh, death, probably don't read this 2/2 

@envgen there was something similar with me when my grandmother died a few years ago. When I was very small we were sort of close, but she lived across the country and I barely saw her. When I met her as an adult I realised that we had nothing in common and I wouldn't ever be close to her. At her funeral I couldn't really be sad, it was a bit weird.

@GinnyMcQueen@mastodon.social often oblivious to what is going on. I have my doubts about being a good guy(tm) but I generally don't say anything because I have no idea what is going on. Is it actually helpful to have some random guy saying 'You're awesome!' or something when there are problems?

Idea, referencing birdsite 

@Sailorplutoid we have been sort of doing follower friday every time we get a new group of people. I have been trying to just use the public timeline because that gives (or at least gave...) a much nicer sense of community and avoided the echo chamber effect.

But yeah, follower friday has been (and is) totally a thing.

@Viss what qualifies one as 'legit'? I think that there are at least two apps available

Nazis/Abuse/Mastodon 

@GinnyMcQueen@mastodon.social I do not doubt that. I guess for now there aren't good enough tools for when that starts (and unfortunately it is almost certainly going to start, we are on the internet...)

The devs are working on it, unfortunately I don't know enough ruby to be helpful here.

Nazis/Abuse/Mastodon 

@support oh yeah, I forgot which instance I was on. Sorry.

Nazis/Abuse/Mastodon 

@GinnyMcQueen@mastodon.social you can try @support, but for the most part people get banned pretty quickly for stuff like that. I don't think it has gotten any farther with anyone yet.

@typhlosion here too! and we are right on lake michigan so that is cool. Not everything about being back in the US is weird.

@chriseppstein that is pretty much what has been going on for the past year or so.

@lolkat @candle I look forward to the continued chaos, but you have a point.

I really like the chill attitude on awoo.space. I am one of those grouchy old people who likes it when there aren't all these damn kids on my lawn.

@Nomaxice is awoo.space not what you want?

Not that I want to discourage more instances for specific groups, just there are some already set up if that is what you are looking for.

@typhlosion all of the timelines on both awoo.space and mastodon.social are acting weird for me. I am not sure what is going on.
