Post

it reall feels like that. countless times i’ve found someone who seems nice and normal and someone i’d probably get on with great with if i met them just like, lolcow level hate me purely because of how they’ve come across my most annoying posts in the worst context and it’s like ah, well,

and like it has made me more withdrawn. i used to say all kinda stuff and talk about anything im doing and now i triple think whether to post about that movie i saw yesterday and then i dont because i imagine the most annoying outcome and its better to not post. now i just reply to friends lol.

same getting into anything politics is just a losing battle even people who should be on the same side just want to argue all day or doom post

Same, I'm always filled with anxiety whenever I post something.

living in the panopticon makes you absolutely insane. my only experience with this was being a moderately successful fanfic writer and even that drove me to almost completely disconnect from the community. was overthinking every single thing I wrote or even just chatted about on public discords

For what it's worth, you're alright by me

having a lot of followers

I don't want to be on here. I want to be anywhere else There's nowhere left to go. And I say that as someone on mastodon and a bunch of other places. If I want to try and show the stuff off I do to people, there's nowhere else to go.

I was raised on this. Due to my autism and quarantine, it’s what taught me “adult” socialization. I despise the creature these apps have made me into.

I call these platforms "Big Bucket" social media and I think it's an inherently flawed model that creates an antisocial and neurotic site culture.

don't take the shit serious at all get yourself banned over and over and remake all the time it's good for you

for what it's worth your posts showing up on my feed usually feel like a fun respite from a lot of the rest of the site. I've deffo felt the overall tone of this place leaning more twitter over time

the jobs that this used to get you have been wiped off the face of the earth by the death star laser. "but surely that means people no longer have to be personal brands" haha, you'd think, but,

In turn I think this reply itself will make me seem like I'm here to be incendiary and rile you up, but if anything I only mean to point out that I think you're hitting the nail on the head precisely here.

And many more people who I liked the writing of in other mediums I had to stop following here because seeing them engage in the discourse drives me crazy.

man this one was really good lmao. what a stupid post

You guys really need to: 1. Take a break from the Internet. 2. Take some responsibility. No one else can make you the person you want to be. If it's so hard because you are too obsessed with likes, you really should get help.

i think it allows for a more holistic view of people, when their thoughts are all laid out like that

I think for me I've accepted that twitterlikes are a place where I'm never really going to be able to express the full breadth of my emotions due to its limited nature. I have to talk conversationally as well. and a site like this just isn't going to be for that ever

This is going to sound like me being sarcastic but I mean it very sincerely - this might be less of an over here or over there issue and more just a natural side effect of being one of the best posters of all time on a platform that's populated enough for that to be a problem
