@iitalics *laughs in reversing-tar's-argument-order-and-replacing-the-first-alphabetical-file-in-your-folder-with-garbage*

@SuricrasiaOnline @noiob that's true! though i guess what i mean is that if i was on the receiving end of a soft block, i would feel like i shouldn't follow the person who did it after that point out of respect of their wishes

@SuricrasiaOnline i feel like this sends a pretty "go away" message to some people rather than a "follow me again if you want" one

to me, soft blocks seem like asserting a boundary that you are trusting others to not cross again

rude of my brain to want to deep dive into all of them simultaneously

gosssh, there are just so many things i wanna learn

@SuricrasiaOnline oh! to me at least, mentions seem...a lot less threatening here

maybe that makes it easier to reply too? since it doesn't seem like sending one is going to be a colossal annoyance to who you're replying to

@packetcat ah, that's not too bad then!

(also sorry if that came off weird, i just have Experiences with aws that i want as few people as possible to also have--so i wanted to warn you just in case)

@codl @cpsdqs oh yeah! some even use it to write their neovim configs in other languages that compile to lua!

so sometimes you see fennel configs

it's pretty rad, honestly! cause vimscript is one of the main things that really scared a lot of people away from playing around with vim outside of its defaults

re: Mh - 

@lyncia i feel you. that's rough

i hope that things improve for you soon though!

re: Mh - 

@lyncia oh nooo, i hope you feel better soon!

also, in case it helps, remember it's also okay to curate your spaces! especially if you find them negatively affecting you

like, mute keywords and content warnings that bring you down, mute and block if you feel like doing so would be "a relief"--this is your space, after all! it's also your mental health, so it's entirely based on what you feel like is best for you~

it's also okay to unplug for any reason (including none!) and for as long as you like if you feel like that isn't enough

either way, i hope that the rest of your day is better, and good luck..! :blobcatheart:

@iitalics oh! that makes sense. i guess i mostly don't use it for email because email just kinda feels bad to use in general

know what doesn't feel bad, and actually rules though? sending secret messages to your pals on everything that lets you send text~ ^^

@panina pgp is mostly just general end to end encryption that you can use on any medium that lets you send text

it's also a way of proving that you are talking to who you think you are

it's pretty neat! (and also definitely not an nft, which are more like, cryptocurrency digital trading cards with a bit of ponzi scheme sprinkled on top)

@lyncia @iitalics yeaaaah, my "real name" will always be my "real online name"

it's also always weird to me how coupled an ostensibly general encryption utility is with email

re: lewd / AD considerations on social media (here and birdsite) 

@karma it's weird for sure

like, i'm ace, and the kinds of things i would post on an AD aren't even explicit--but i still feel the need to add a disclaimer to my profile that there might be some things i will post with cws, and that i should only operate in spaces that i think an AD wouldn't violate consent

so, even though this is my main, i kinda treat it like a sorta-pseudo AD

on birdsite, i have two accounts because i have to, but the compartmentalization feels terrible since it feels like i'm simultaneously spreading myself too thin, and also only able to interact with others with half of me hidden--because nobody wants to interact with my AD for fun computery and creative things, and nobody on my main probably even wants to know a core part of my identity even exists

so i'm constantly torn at which is better--though the way i can just kinda exist like this on masto definitely feels more comfortable, so i've kinda concluded that this is probably the best way for me personally

@KateYagi oh! for the most part, i find favs are welcome by pretty much everyone~

they aren't listed anywhere, and some of us use it pretty much to just say "oh, neat!" to most replies, rather than as a set of kinda-bookmarks

you don't need to worry about that~ ^^
