I’ve been on the fediverse for a good while now. I understand that it’s a bunch of small user owned servers rather than a few monolithic corporate owned servers, but beyond that I have no idea how this place runs. I don’t even know what to call it; I think I’ve made a fool of myself before by referring to piefed as a website. I am glad other people understand it/work on it, trying to learn networking or consumer software stuff myself makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a melon baller
Most of the stuff we use is beyond our understanding. No one is supposed to be an expert on everything, so chill and just enjoy it!
agreed. figure out the stuff you enjoy, figure out the depth to which you want to explore it and then just enjoy yourself. fuck having to do everything perfect. we are creatures of wisp and whimsy and i’ll be damned if i have to stretch a perfectly round 15 inch pizza dough. no like really all of mine are wonky and oblong and bubbly and delicious and end up as triangular calzones anyways
