Just gonna be honest here: To hell with bluesky; I’m at my social media limit. If Mastodon tanks, I’m going back to writing my jokes in bus station toilet stalls.

@allenstenhaus @adhdeanasl

Special interest forums were great.

It saves a lot of mental energy if you've joined a group where you know from the start what you have in common.

I used to belong to a couple of online forums that led to new friends IRL, socials and holidays.

One was a motorbike group, which I went on 2 trips abroad with (UK to France).

@adhdeanasl I tried lots of them too: Tribel, Post, Counter Social and wasn’t able to register at Spoutible. Little by little I settled on the one that led to actual interactions. So, here I stay! No skin off my nose that blue sky takes some more people away from Twitter. In the end, my home is flourishing and thriving!

There seems to be some sort of rose tinted gaslighting going on that Twitter was fine before Muskolini took it over. It wasn't. It was a shithole then and it's even more of a shithole now. Mastodon was always better because it's not Twitter. Anything that tries to be like Twitter will be a shithole like Twitter.

@adhdeanasl lol. When I was in 9th grade someone wrote the poem:

"Here I sit, my buns a flexin’
Giving birth to another Texan"

on the wall of a toilet stall

They signed it “The Shithouse Poet” — and everyone thought it was *me* (it wasn’t)
