whitelisting discourse, bitterness & frustration 

@starkatt This whole argument is extremely assumptive of many things in ways that are intensely frustrating to me.

Like, I guess people just assume that Mastodon instances run themselves, and that the blacklisting method of quality control isn't a full time job for a large team of people requiring 24 hour coverage and more effective moderation tools than Mastodon currently provides

Nah, "they're just toxic" yeah that's prolly it

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town @literorrery @Fuego That comic shop is owned and operated by dear friends who are also on this Mastodon instance (awoo.space) ♥️

@vahnj If you ever have use for a PHP thing please feel free to hit me up. I've been writing in this horrible language for 12 years now and I've developed a great set of tools for speedrunning through the really nasty bits

if you anger your compiler you all you will see is poutput

@vahnj As a PHP developer, everything in my world is bad and terrible and on fire and therefore, bad is normal and normal is acceptable??

More and more I want to stop PHPing

programmeing 

@vahnj Yeah, that one screwed with me, too

It's pretty handy that you can use boolean data storage to effectively store 3 values in, though. I've made heavy use of that a bunch of times.

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town @Fuego @literorrery It's not so bad; transit is great here and I have both car and motorcycle to get around.

I'm hoping to make my way to more of the Northgate area in the next year or so. ^^

@TipsyTentacle@witches.town @Fuego oooh, nice!! I'm in Woodinville at the moment, @literorrery is around Northgate.

PSA to folks who're afraid of reaching out to a friend because you think they're too busy with their life and might think you're a nuisance for bothering them 

You're not alone, and the person you're convinced is too popular and cool to want to spend time with you might very well be assuming the same of you.

Source: I got to know most of my best friends only after overcoming this hurdle of mutually assumed disinterest.

@green @literorrery @typhlosion I wrote a thing about this (larger) problem a while back.

corticalstack.net/thoughts-on-

I've watched this tear communities apart so many times; one side builds a narrative to frame failed attempts at positive action as intentionally malicious acts, the narrative divides a community and people continue on their separate ways.

It's just part of life, I guess. I just wish it'd stop tearing my friends apart.

@typhlosion @literorrery @green As for this particular example of The Discourse, as far as I can tell, it appears someone was announcing to all of Mastodon that awoo.space is a toxic problematic dumpster fire full of terrible people or something.

We all know that isn't true. But some people just assume the worst. I mean, there are people who think I'm some kind of manipulative narcissist thirsty for power.

Everything we know about anyone else is a narrative. Some narratives are BS.

@KawaSeadrake Having my hormones adjusted until things being well made made me cry while enjoying them is one of my favorite things HRT has opened up to me.

Empathy had always been my most treasured skill, and estrogen only enhanced it.

@Jacel @green Oh! I guess I did! ^^;;; Hee.

I am not awake today. @.=.@

no neg, only pos 

Every time you neg yourself you reinforce that mode of thinking and it becomes easier and easier to see yourself that way and harder and harder to think you can succeed and do the things you want to.

So when you have a negative self thought, say no aloud, and replace it with a positive thought. Repeat it over and over. Please. I care about you all.

@Jacel @green I think my favorite was the first, but the 3rd is a close second.

I related so very deeply to station. ;~;
