Experimental Cyborg

I haven’t seen shit talking as much as “This is why mastodon isn’t welcoming to most people”. It’s a fine platform for its niche but it’s a niche, and some mastodon users seem a little salty about it / don’t realize they’re a niche.

Literally this. bsky is just chilling while a group of users on lemmy and mastodon are losing their shit about it, without doing anything to make their own platforms actually better for the average normie user. If they don’t want normies there’s nothing to complain about, if they do, they should be taking notes on what bsky is doing.

It’s pretty common… Some people with low self esteem flirt for attention. It’s fucked, but it’s sad for both parties, really.

Same dude. The only way to get over it is to get out there and try again, unfortunately.

Honestly. Humans are so bad at seeing multi-year trends… myself included. Many essential things have been consistently going to shit over the past decade for sure. Climate change in the same vein, “It’s not that different” “there were always record weather events once in a while” but if you look at a graph of objective scientific data, it’s an exponential line of weather extreme after weather extreme with steadily decreasing intervals between events. But the neighbours insist that “We’ve had summers like this in the 70’s, you youngsters haven’t seen anything. Stop causing a panic!”
