And now a question for everybody.
(so those who are not new don't feel excluded and so you get notified when the poll above is closed even if you didn't vote)What is your main reason to be in the Fediverse?
(even though I say 'main' you can select multiple answers)#poll #fediverse #FediverseMeta #DigitalRights #DigitalIndependence #AskFedi
All the above, plus freedom from advertising and tracking, plus the simple chronological feed.

@PaulaToThePeople Being able to form my own "bubble" without it being constantly ignored/broken by an unpredictable algorithm or advertiser.

@CppGuy Yes, chronological is great. Its been a long time for me that I used other social media, so I don't even really remember, but now I can't immagine a non-chronological feed. That would be horrible.

@PaulaToThePeople a friend of mine set up the az.social instance, asked for some help moderating, and I volunteered. Never expected to be this active, but I found a lot of cool people and started participating too. It’s my only social media presence since 2019 when I ditched Facebook (dead bird site I ditched in 2016).

@lerxst Cool, I should ask people IRL to help me moderate too. That may just be a better strategy than asking them to join as users.

@PaulaToThePeople
I chose general good vibes, by which I mean the smaller, decentralized, offbeat and less clout-chasing vibes, while acknowledging that the vibes here aren't always good. -

@PaulaToThePeople especially the contest of a fediverse is what I like. Plus: it's NOT X!

@PaulaToThePeople Quieter. And almost only smart people here saying stuff about stuff they know stuff about, or making silly jokes.

1st time free-libre online presence: #ZeroNet #P2P ~2019. Technically everything I wanted: one sign-up, no instances, no self-hosting complexities, just join or run any kind of site you wanted with a couple of clicks. But so few people, & later lead developer ghosted.
2nd time: "Liberation Day" 🤪 2025. I knew I had to liberate myself from anything US-controlled as much as possible. Joined #Lemmy before I even knew Reddit boss spez was MAGA.

I was banned on Twitter, then I was banned on Bluesky.
Im hopeful the mods will be… well at least say something to stop me from bad behavior before the final ban comes.
I feel like Im looking for a place to be while mentally ill. Bluesky was probably wrong for me since news is a main stress. I need to focus on improvement and the watch parties.

I have always had behavioral issues. I was segregated in school. Behavioral disturbance. Maybe this place is less dogpiling? That’s a hope.

@Energetic_Nova Hm, maybe a smaller server would be better then, where you can get to know your mods and they you?
I'm not sure if the mastodon.social mods will know and consider your past when/if someone reports you. -

Twitter, I got dinged for cheering on lesbian vampires to kill all men in the context of a movie. I got hit for suicide ideation on twitter which isnt allowed there. And the last strike was defending trans rights. Which was Elon.
Bluesky allowed suicidal ideation but more people upset me more with their open political declarations against democrats. Im on SSI. Imagine life and death feeling I feel….

The feeling of a leftie saying that stuff is worse. And though I would fight on Twitter too, people didnt block like that on twitter and my feelings got really hurt by that! Especially for low level corrections on facts. Even the right wing didnt block me over linking sources. And yeah I would just keep fighting on bluesky in a way I don’t think happens here.. cause it wasnt that feeling on twitter either.

So I dont think my reading the rules and finding a hole in the rules would happen…. Which got me in trouble when they decided to enforce “common sense”

When you get back and can tell me if you are understanding the difference between harassment that means annoying and a harassment that meets a legal definition… and I got banned for about a level of annoyance. And not a level of malicious. But the rules conveyed a closer to legal definition (like sub legal definition, well beyond annoying)
A persistent toxic fight style they never once warned me they wanted to ban me for despite the rules saying they would warn.

A low toxicity which is why they didnt do it sooner… but a toxicity all the same… and one that the rules say they will educate you on and then they didnt. This is what I mean by a switch over to common sense rather than what was explicitly stated…
And I admit what I did was wrong to most people… but it also wasnt in the rules.

Mettereste il vostro corpo in un contenitore? Costretto a guardare da un punto di vista le cose? Con una contrazione su alcune parti del corpo? Tenendo ferme altre parti, sovrasfruttando altre?
Eppure è quel che facciamo ogni giorno, quando facciamo qualunque cosa non sia avere coscienza del nostro corpo
Ed è grave se almeno ogni tanto non prendiamo coscienza del corpo e lo liberiamoE chissà che così facendo non blocchiamo anche la mente nella stessa gabbia

@pineheap such cuties ❤️
