i do like it here :3

if all there was is subscription slop. i'd choose off.

Its beautiful

It’s because the other internet is ruled by tyrants and pedophiles.

This is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

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.

I much prefer this, our own internet, but without the "blackjack and hookers".

(I'd like to think that OUR Sex Workers are ethically sourced owners of their own means of production rather than trafficked and/or exploited by pimps or other parasitic human vermin... but one must remain vigilant.)

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.

I see nothing wrong about this. Carry on.

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's just a return to where internet access was a filter, and you didn't have Boomers on MySpace and phpBB

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.

no ad revenue, no fake internet points, we just post for the love of the game

While the rest of social media is where neurotypical people go to talk with bots?

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 find I have no evidence to rebut this claim.

the fediverse is the internet in its most internet state

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.

This should be the motto of the fediverse.

Not really. It’s simply more authentic than Reddit. And, no ads.

Nah, I ain't neurodivergent everything else is true.

Isn't that why/how the Internet was created?

That's the killer app for the fediverse. Because non of y'all have the attention span to become a long-term influencer turned into a grifter. And I love it.
