General love of all things linux and the choice it provides. I prefer to hang my hat in gentoo with e16 but do like to keep up with other stuff.

Sometimes I think about a few who I've interacted with here in the past and enjoyed interacting with, but who no longer interact with me for some reason.😔

I post a LOT, and most of the time what I say, I guess gets on people's nerves because I'm passionate about certain topics. Sometimes though, I make really meaningful connections (to me) and those people sometimes stop talking to me too and it feels terrible. Like ive lost a close friend cause I'm a piece of shit and said some dumb shit.

That last part is the worst because it's how I've felt my entire life. I almost have no filter, so I say what's in my head and that's not the "polite" and "easy-going" thing to do. I have one friend left in my entire life because friends just drop me when I piss them off accidentally...

Rejection sensitivity fucking sucks.

@BeAware How many of us can honestly say we've never said somethdng stupid that pissed off a friend? If they ceace to call me a friend because of that, they likely didn't consider me one before they knew what sorta stupid shit comes out my mouth. I'd say it's a far shittier way to treat people the way most do in the online world whereby they just block/ignore someone to forget they exist, than simply telling them how they disagree.

Nothing wrong with being honest about who you are and what you think. You just gotta remember that more people than not don't appreciate that and would prefer you tell them what they want to hear.

Maybe I should start an irregular series of "What Hubzilla is like" posts for people in the Fediverse, Mastodon specifically, who don't know anything about it. Not for those who want to switch, but for those who assume that Hubzilla is just like whatever else they know. Like, for Mastodon users who blindly assume that Hubzilla is just like Mastodon with a different UI and then act accordingly. Thus, it'd mostly focus on how Hubzilla is different from Mastodon.

The difficult part would be to limit these posts to only 500 characters. Minus what I'll need for the hashtags, namely #Hubzilla, #FediTips and #FediverseTips to increase discoverability for those who are interested and #FediMeta, #FediverseMeta, #CWFediMeta and #CWFediverseMeta so that these posts are automatically removed or hidden behind generated content warnings by already existing filters. Because I know for a fact that many Mastodon users won't touch anything that goes even a smidge over 500 characters. And I know that there are Mastodon users for whom any and all Fediverse meta is too nerve-gratingly techy.

@jupiter_rowland @Regez I don't get much ridiculousness on my feed(?), it's not too difficult to weed out, but I saw a rather disheartening thing show up recently that was encouraging people to "fight back"/"take a stand" against connecting to .

No, that's not what is for, the whole idea is to allow communication across different services. There seems to be quite a few people who do not want non-Mastodon things in the . I'm not so sure that it's simply a matter of ignorance, although that probably has a bit to do with it.

I do like your idea of PSA posts to help educate those who think is the fancy name for , but I'd advise you keep em a bit more headline sized. I'm not so confident in the target audience's eagerness to read a @jupiter_rowland sized post on anything. 😆

@wwwgem I've been extremely pleased with @tuxedocomputers in both product quality and support. Next laptop will assuredly be another from them.
