It’s because the other internet is ruled by tyrants and pedophiles.
Most probably nepophiles as well. Or just basically sex offenders of all categories.
Wait isn’t nephophile more about liking clouds?
But I’m here, and I’m not neurodiver…ah beans
Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We’ve gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We’re the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.
And for us Gen-X/Gen-Y folks, all the Fediverse needed to do was to say “it’ll be just like the Internet in the 1990s” and we were like “HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP”
Gives me BBS era / Usenet vibes, yesss
Yes! The millenials too though. We’re as nostalgic (or maybe even more nostalgic) for the 90s internet because it was our entire childhoods.
(Millennial is gen Y 😜)
Oh, yeah. I never see it used and it didn’t even register. 🤦
you say that but i just saw this post about the Formulars for different kinds of rizz in my time line
I wish this would not have made sense to me, but I think I get what they are trying to say. Enough Internet for today, it makes me feel weird
I already told you I’m a millennial, so you already know I am too old to understand this shit. 😂
Well to be fair, there’s not just neurodivergent people in the Fediverse.
There’s also a bunch of queer people. And furries.
Also neurodivergent queer people, neurodivergent furries, queer furries, and neurodivergent queer furries. Duh.
Isn’t queer technically also neurodivergent?
I see nothing wrong about this. Carry on.
The Fediverse really seems like the late 90’s/early 00’s internet, before the influx of corporate silo media. So far folks here are more or less ok, and the lack of deliberate ragebait pushing is refreshing.
The normies are self destructive.
Which internet should I be on? The one that’s ran by friends of a pedo? Or the one ran by a pedo’s company? Or the one with an actual, 100% for real, CSAM-generator built into it that was too weird to get to be as much of a pedo as he wanted to be?
Let’s get some more posts about spoon design, OK? I like the validation.
It does kinda make me feel slightly happy that Elon is a loser in every circle he’s ever wanted to be part of
the fediverse is the internet in its most internet state
While the rest of social media is where neurotypical people go to talk with bots?
It’s a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don’t see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is “Oh just create it”, but I don’t have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.

While that may be true, for some of us the simple IDEA of maybe needing to do something in the future that you might mess up is demotivating enough to prevent action. For that reason and many others, I appreciate people like you who make things happen.

Create the spaces you want to see, it is very low effort, then put up a post asking for others to help so they can get to it when you are not there. We rarely get problems other than spam here and there, but the small ones are extremely quiet. No one is spamming !orchidaceae@mander.xyz lmao. If you have a team, you can pass it off if you get burnt out and replaced. Do not be afraid! We need a diverse array of mods, do not let us get like Reddit where too many are controlled by a handful of folks. I fully plan on releasing many of mine to a team of more qualified folks when the time comes. :)
no spam, but I am not subscribed. thx!
TBH this disappeared on Reddit too. All my preferred fandom subs are now cesspools, with zero depth in fandom knowledge yet weird, cultish worshipping of the material. Bigger general subs feel like bot farms.
Piefed’s /c/television is 1000x better.
But the best places on the internet for that are probably the TVTropes forums, SpaceBattles, and other “surviving” fiction boards.

When it comes to “traditionally geeky topics” I might have been looking for that stuff at most other points of my life. And if somebody gets into some dorky lore discussion on here today I might participate.
But for me, and I would wager it’s the same with MANY people on Lemmy, the last decade has made me very much not interested in filling my social interactions with banter about which billion-dollar global brands are the most dank.
As an example, I am still very interested in technology that I can learn about and do things with. I am very much not interested in products from tech companies.
Or in another area, I still have a soft spot for old Star Wars and especially Lucasarts games like TIE Figther and X-Wing Alliance. I will always keep my old copies of those and probably play them every several years. But I don’t even know what Star Wars content is in development right now.
Also, I want to change this. I have some fandom/fictions posts in mind…
But my executive dysfunction is taking a toll. Laughs nervously.
Make it and set it up later when you feel like it. :) That’s what I did.
also, there’s no karma system and no karma farming
and we can say unpopular things without worrying about downvotes
uh
eating pizza with a fork and knife is kinda enjoyable
you get to taste more pizza per pizza, and you take your time to savor it
I hate having greasy hands. I agree.
How do you feel about eating Cheetos with chopsticks?
Only as part of a balanced meal to include a Hawaiian pizza and a delicious cake, like a cheesecake
sounds like a fun challenge
Sith, absolutes, etc. It depends on the pizza.
I’ve always been amused by the fact that that statement was, itself, an absolute.
Never looked into it. Wonder if it was an intentional play on the idea by Lucas or just an accident of the script. But the subtle “we’re ALL hypocrites” is great.
