@typhlosion if I had to do open mic standup under duress I'd just have people shout tech brands at me and I'd roast them, it would be so easy

@typhlosion also basically every tech thing has a terrible name if you pretend you're not already familiar with it, come on

(I think it's as good a name as any and well better than most fwiw)

@maloki whoa, I'm only being shown this now, for some reason? 2 days later? I still don't know quite what's going on, but I'm feeling more hopeful in general today. Thank you :3

@typhlosion @candle yeah I absolutely don't know how to balance the complexity that makes mastodon special with my own need for things to be simple enough to understand. I guess I'm just haunted by Google Plus (which had other problems, but) going 'sort your friends into circles!!' and me going 'yes, brilliant' and my friends going 'ugh what no u nerds that one extra step's a dealbreaker'

I can see both sides but personally I am only getting more overwhelmed, instead of more confident.

@candle okay but this is like, I'm also supposed to know what each place thinks of each other place? What is visible to who outside your 'home' instance(?)... or why sometimes you can interact and sometimes not? Now I have two different friend/follower lists with no easy way to move one to another? And there is now like four of everybody and they might move again soon? I mean I kinda get the metaphor but this is functionally much more complex than email from a user verbs perspective :/

I think I got to the point where I understand just enough about federation to see how much I will never understand. Most of my life is like this but it would be nice if anyone else seemed to be struggling with this? I guess they just left, if they existed. The influx of supergenius tech people for whom this is a second language isn't helping. I'll keep trying, I really need a space like this but 'just' moving to another instance made too big a mess of concepts for my brain to process :[

@Freylet That is what I would do if it were up to me! And get up around 2pm. That is ny natural rhythm and I year to return to it someday~

@sophia@witches.town 👏👏

at some point in the near future I am likely to say aloud, to another human being, a sentence including the word "instance" and the phrase "even the anime porn has disability representation"

.................goodnight everybody!

@confusedcharlot I also need to figure out what to do about this instinct to fav every single interaction but they've all been good! FEELINGS!!!!! (g'night)

@confusedcharlot it feels like breathing again but at times it feels like a joyful hyperventilation, my all too adult body was not prepared for Puberty 2

I keep presuming people will read my posts with a detached irony voice and y'all keep immediately relating to the genuine sentiment I'm expressing, you amazing empaths!! stop being so nice, I'm trying to go to sleep and it's hard to calm down with all this gratitude in my veins ;_;

@Freylet I've worked in a factory for like a decade and I've made peace with most of what it's done to/for me, but I will never, ever get the hang of getting up before the sun

forever cursed by capitalism to work early hours as a person who craves conversations of the sort people only want to start having an hour after I should be in bed

@bunnylyn counterargument: cat went there

"okcupid inbox zero" is not an accomplishment, part-of-brain-that-dispenses-reward-chemicals-improperly. it is an accomplishment the way managing to fall all the way down a hill is an accomplishment

wow I'm glad I started reading Nevada AFTER changing my name because I'm old enough that a non-zero part of my brain is dedicated to trying pointlessly hard to avoid being a stereotype

I am loop-dying over and over from the fact that the Google auto-translation of the Le Monde Mastodon article calls tweets "chicks"

"I was seduced by the chick, the animated gif and the people."

my potential new car (don't ask) makes robot cat sounds when backing up and on-beat chicken noises when music is playing, will I ever find this more annoying than amazing??? (I am deciding if I like this car, out of two suboptimal options)
