Today I saw someone toot, in dismay, people are posting their everyday life to Mastodon when they could simply buy a diary for $1.99. I can't stop thinking about this.
What if this is all they have? What if they're isolated with or without people in their life? What if the only kind word they hear this week is, "That's cool"? I say, post your mundane. Post anything you want. While being silenced everywhere else, don't be silent here.
@LilPecan Jesus Christ, let people enjoy themselves. No one has to read the trivia of your life if they don't want to. But plenty of people get socialization they would not have otherwise. I write about myself. Absolutely no intention to stop either.
@fatsam I hope that Jesus Christ isn't directed at me. I agree with you and that's what I thought I stated. I apologize if I was unclear.
@LilPecan no no, you and I are on the same page.
@LilPecan and I apologize if I was unclear. "After you, Gaston."
@fatsam
Just to butt in at the top. Back when they didn't have mastodon, people did have to keep diaries. And people like Pepys recorded the boring minor crap (historically) and momentous events.
