Willow (she/her)Mastodon, you are a influence...
Since I joined I have ditched most subscription stuff like Spotify, Amazon and Netflix.
Made the swap to Linux.
Started painting.
Now I am considering whether or not I could be a Person Who Bikes Places.
The responses to this have really shown me that the Bike People that I don't follow are actually very similar to the Linux ppl I don't follow and are part of why I avoided it for so long.

@MsHearthWitch I find the internet to be ever full of people with fairly middling takes which they believe apply to literally everyone. This is, of course, not true.
@choccymalk It's the forever present idea that a complete stranger knows more and is better informed about good options than the person experiencing it.
And I do get the value in crowd sourcing solutions for problems. But it's just so infantalizing the way people (primarily white dudes) approach other folks online.
