• The Liker. Likes your posts. Says nothing. You are comforted by them liking your posts, somehow.

  • The Booster. Boosts lots of posts. Most of their profile is boosts. They use Fedi like a content aggregator. They have nothing much to say, but they share what other people say.

  • The Reply Guy. Thinks the Fediverse is like a university debating society. Will always take your post with a maximalist interpretation, regardless of what your post is about. Does not understand that you don’t need a devil’s advocate for your post about what sandwich you should get.

  • The Content Farmer. Despite the lack of algorithm, these accounts seem to “borrow” posts from other platforms and only exist to farm engagement. This ranges from dedicated, but ultimately useful, accounts (eg Memes From Outside Fedi) to people who copy the text from Tumblr posts and pass them off as their own.

  • The Bidenist. They’re harmless, just annoying.

  • The Memer. The lifeblood of any social network. The Fediverse is a place for metaphorical stand up comedy, and for sharing the most snarky satire you’ve seen.

  • The Normal. Very rare. Just a regular person. They log in every few days, and then go back to their lives. They don’t even know what a Fedi Meta is.

  • The Computer Toucher. They speak in acronyms; words that you think are from the dictionary, but have another meaning; and in monospace text. They are constantly posting about something that goes beep and sometimes goes boop. They don’t post about much else, if ever.

  • The Diarist. This person uses the Fediverse to talk about their day, their dreams, their hopes, their thoughts. The Fediverse is a place to take these things from their brain and into written form. They don’t seem to care if anyone notices, but they don’t also mind that people comment.

  • The Meta Lover. This account seems to post endless essays about the Fediverse, for some reason. Like, they solely seem to post about it, and not in an interesting, thought-provoking, or creative manner. Just pure essays about nothing.

  • You, the girl reading this. You’re really cute. ❤️

  • There are definitely more BTW

    But after the tenth one, I ran out of steam to continue thinking about it

    I could probably write a follow-up post TBQH lol

    @yassie_j I want to invent a new kind that is just a fountain of realistic positivity that tells you you can keep going in spite of everything.

    And by invent, I mean I want to be that poster.

    Everyone knows, of course, that I’m a Bidenist
    @yassie_j Ha! Good one Yassie! Classic :neoyass:
    i will never approve of yaseen being a bidenist or a neoliberal 

    @yassie_j I don’t think I know enough yassie lore to tell if this is sarcasm

    either way I’m glad net neutrality is back

    @kali yes, it’s sarcasm :3

    Folks, I don’t know what ones you are

    This is on aggregate, not on specific

    @yassie_j yassie you made a tag yourself post now take responsibility for it!
    @yassie_j there's like three of these that apply to me
    @yassie_j I forgot to remove the CW it's over
    @[email protected] i never thought i'd consider myself to be the normal one but i find a comfort in that
    @yassie_j I just switch between Booster, Memer, and Diarist randomly.

    Very rarely I'm the normal, like I had an unintended dry spell from fedi like 4 days ago or something.
    @yassie_j w/r/t reply guy um ackshually-
    @[email protected] I aspire to be somewhat of a (cute) Memer ​
    @[email protected] Am definitely a liker, a booster and a computer toucher (I touch grass btw). Oh and am not cute you aree :3
    @0x454d505459 hhh hhhhh noohhhhhh >/////>

    @yassie_j my bad, I was just going by your avatar 🥰
    I don't feel like I fit into any of those types...


    ...especially 11
    @yassie_j I feel like I am 7 aspiring to be a hybrid between 6 and 9 (  )
    @existentialscrybe and don’t forget #11! ❤️
    @yassie_j I'm a bit of a computer toucher and a diarist
    @[email protected] tag yourself, I'm the first 2 and sometimes the computer toucher.
    @yassie_j I guess I am the Diarist, computer toucher and the booster when I rarely post
    @yassie_j im at least 3 of these
    @ShadowJonathan @yassie_j i'm, uh, 5 of them i think: 1, 7, 8, 9, 11
    wonder if there's someone who's all 11
    @yassie_j jossie can you assign me a type or am i the 12th secret type
    @prinsje you’re obviously #12
