@Shredd_Tone I'm not an expert, but I perceive a lot of information, even if true, can be harmful. Some because it can open people to exploitation, but in other cases because it can corrupt or clutter someone's mind. We are therefore responsible for proving true knowledge is safe before sharing.

@sweetdreams I like it in green. Seems safer.

@vinesnfluff It's OK to be angry. I'm glad you were able to share, recent events and perhaps some parts of your relationship with your mother sounds frustrating. I try to stay out of psychology for a list of reasons, but my mind does go to your comment about her perhaps having ADHD, and if she were to admit that, it would involve a change to her perception of herself. Something in her resists the change, and your situation is collateral damage of the conflict. But this kind of conjecture is almost worthless with as little as I know, so I hope things get better generally, vinesnfluff.

@vinesnfluff You seem to be expressing frustration. I do think it's important not to judge people based on their formal education, everyone has individual strengths and weaknesses.

@MariaTheMartian I've had issues ever since I was a teen, but I know the feeling of having to ration how much stress you put on your hands.

@Quilly Looks cool. I think generally people on the fediverse have pretty convergent interests, mostly related to open source technology. I don't yet feel like I have a good understanding of mastodon myself. I hope you find interesting new people, though.

@Shredd_Tone Looks good to me. :)
