aaaand second day on Mastodon and my feed is full of First World Problems again just like Twitter.

@SexyCyborg You probably have a pretty unique perspective on this, being who you are, and what you do, where you are... I am curious as to exactly what you consider to be a first-world problem, as my entire knowledge of you is from your reddit posts, and your culture is one that I only experience through the American filter.

Genuine interest in your experience, hopefully not condescending.

@TheGibson Most of my followers don't connect things like this:

(planned to hand out stickers)

(Ran around Shenzhen's largest tourist attraction half naked shouting at the crowds about Chinese women not being included at a tech event.)

My talk of "inclusion" could piss off the wrong people at anytime. That's not hurt feelings- that's detention.

@SexyCyborg to be clear, in the West we lack perspective inherently. Our signal is moderated in it's own way.

We still have gatekeepers, maybe not as restrictive, but very well targeted... precise.

They are also intrusive, but only choose to use the data when it benefits them. Our worlds ARE different but less so than they would have us believe.

No power in the Verse can stop the signal.

@TheGibson idk if it's lacking, it's more self-awareness. Other places seem to understand their perspective is incomplete. Westerners tend to act as if their perspective is objective truth @SexyCyborg
