@vahnj I think it just happened because it was the most visible, I think she showed up not long after I did and I definitely saw way more awoo mentions/migration/talk than any other instance. I did totally have that thought while reading though, heh

I wish "don't ask" were a slightly less reliable punchline because sometimes I just need a quick way to say "don't ask" that won't make people more interested in asking

Latest absurdity: having to find a cassette tape adapter(!) for a car I didn't know I'd be driving(?)... and we still have a Radio Shack(?!)

Astrology Below 

@thefishcrow hmm yes that all seems fairly accurate, but, does it tell me which planet to shake my fist at today? My provisional choice, arbitrarily, is the moon, but I'd prefer my fist aim be true

@typhlosion btw you are so nice!! I'm glad you were here when I flopped in, thanks again, seriously 😸

@typhlosion aw thanks!! Fun Fact right as I was typing this the lyrics in the song I've got on said "the moon, the moon, the fucken moon" so that will be my scapegoat mantra for now.

It actually feels like the kind of changes where things are better on the other side, just gotta stay fresh through this enemy ink y'know

I wish astrology spoke to me so at least I'd have a planet or two to blame for why literally everything in my life right now is suddenly, catastrophically, comically unstable

@typhlosion yeah I'm just hyperaware of taking up space or not being ______ enough so I'm just trying to be my own settling dust today

Hope I am okay...! (This feeling of stumbling into places right as the drawbridge goes up is a bit unsettling rn tbh)

@typhlosion I lucked into a cool old y2k-era closed community that lasted over a decade and was important to me, if that's what mastodon.social ends up being I'll be a little disappointed but that'd probably be okay.

mh mention 

@typhlosion aw, yeah, it's not even a concept I buy into at all, it's just helpful shorthand sometimes (and the irony with which I apply it is more evident in person probably)

mh mention 

@typhlosion oh no it's cool, I've accepted my forever role as a fake geek girl haha

@typhlosion I have a long history of being enthusiastic about tech only to be reminded I don't understand it so please don't feel bad that I don't get this, seriously

I might go back to watching and seeing if functions become apparent, maybe my problem is just that it isn't working (even though it looks a lot like when it was working, to me)

mh mention 

@typhlosion (also I have brain problems and something being not hard to understand has never been any guarantee I personally would understand it, heh)

@typhlosion I guess it's the 'can' part that confuses me to no end, like I'm sure that's the exciting tech difference but I like to know what WILL happen when I interact with a person using a thing, apparently? Still chewing on this.

@typhlosion I mean it was already confusing because I 99% don't understand federation and don't expect to, so, this is mostly just me trying to also be here if mastodon.social collapses under the weight of... whatever is happening

I'm trying to understand The Federating Instances and I think a lot of people are here now and not there and I don't know what I'm doing

(I'm kevspace on mastodon.social)

Awoo Space

Awoo.space is a Mastodon instance where members can rely on a team of moderators to help resolve conflict, and limits federation with other instances using a specific access list to minimize abuse.
