I back that last post so hard. It is far worse in public. If you feel alienated and uncomfortable when someone speaks a language you do not understand near you, then get over it. Your insecurity over something so trivial is not as important as allowing a person to express their thoughts in any way they need. And if you are American, never forget that English is an import.
Discordians on mastdon!! Also meat-space.
One of my favourite parts of mastodon is that I have met other discordians on the internet who aren't libertarian weirdos who use discordianism as an excuse to push weird objectivist ideologies.
All the discordians that I have known in meat-space have been cool though. It made me worry about the internets.

I always thought that it couldn't possibly be harder to get up on a rainy day. Then my brother was born a fire-elemental mutant.
That changed my outlook a bit.
It helps that we live in a climate-controlled apartment, but getting him out of bed for school is still a grueling task that requires the entire family working together.
I can only imagine how it must feel to wake up to weather that literally makes you ill.
while i want to celebrate the increasing popularity of mastodon.social, it's pretty sad and rude to see people talking about being the "first ones here", "getting in on the ground floor", even debating what to call users of mastodon.social
we already did that, we already had a culture, and goddamn it we're called tooties
So what bothers me about the chart on https://social.guhnoo.org/ is that their color-coding implies that things like "moderation" and "doesn't allow controversial content" and "doesn't allow offensive speech" are BAD things on par with not supporting SSL. That's all-too-common F/OSS Freeze Peach thinking displayed front-and-center.
As much as I like being one of the people on Mastodon.social who has been around a while, I have a new account here because the server is dying under the weight of the new users.
And I think that splitting into different servers with different cultures is the only way that the federated network is going to thrive. So there is that too.
I don't exist!
I may be the same inmysocks you see on mastodon.social.... Maybe.
Whatever pronouns you feel like? I would be amused if you alternated.
