lmfao 100mbps is pretty decent in Canada too.

ive been off facebook for quite a while now but when i was still on it, id unfollowed just about any real-life bullshit and was exclusively engaging in private groups featured around special interests. i ended up doing the same with reddit & a private sub before leaving, i enjoy recognizing usernames.

all this to say: agreed

my heart hurts for your self-esteem, brother

I didn’t get my audhd dx until i was 28 but i feel like i always knew, and i think my life might’ve been sightly less miserable in general if id just allowed myself to accept a self-diagnosis. the attitude of “you just want to be special” seriously fucked me up lmfao.

BoJack Horseman, too many times to count by now

ah i was struggling to come up with an answer, but it’s probably still WoW for me too. solidarity, friend

I also don’t know Star Trek lore but it is basically the answer used in The Orville (“matter synthesis”), which I do know is a love letter to Star Trek in general

ideally id be using signal but hardly anyone is willing to use it because most people don’t care. between sms & something owned by meta, for example, im not entirely sure which is less bad

ive had this discussion with a few different people actually, and at least from where im standing, it does seem like sms is making a comeback. i have to admit i prefer it when it comes to messaging people i know irl

i have a soft leather keychain that i clip to whatever bag i’m using, it’s not overly fidgety but it is a pleasant sensation

as someone who is queer i actually think the comparison is pretty apt, sounds like she doesn’t understand your experiences. i’m sorry you had to go through this

honestly i had myself convinced my behaviour was “just social anxiety” for a looong time, so yeah

definitely both depending on the context

I’m actually excited by the idea of smaller communities. After a certain threshold a popular sub becomes more difficult to interact with for me, and I’ve been finding refuge in smaller subs for quite a while now.

So far just about everything here has that feel to it

don’t use twitter, facebook, or instagram, so…

tbh i’ve been so sick of reddit lately that i’ve been spending time on 4chan again, which is really saying something

hoping the fediverse will put a stop to that lmfao

at this point, i’m really enjoying watching how things play out

agreed actually, ive been feeling progressively less comfortable using reddit for a long while now & all this just reinforces it.

this is what im expecting too, which is why im trying the migration thing rather than just sticking to desktop/browser-only. might as well stay ahead of them

It’s a bit more complicated than what I’m used to but I’m actually really enjoying learning more about how it works. I’ve been largely checked out of all but a handful of obscure subreddits for a while now
