Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
-
@evan I went with "Yes, but", but it could just as easily have been "No, but". I've met some truly great people here who I consider friends. It also seems to house more than its fair share of assholes. I find myself reluctant to talk to people unless I've known them for a while. These days, if I interact, I tend to keep things clinical.
@mike who are some good ones?
-
@evan Yes, most of them are at least decent, but I've had to curate to find the ones I really like. I don't think this is very out of the norm though, so I'd say yes mostly.
@Kaliah who do you really like? Name some names!
-
@evan Yes, but not all.
@virtuous_sloth who are some good ones?
-
Yes, very much, but sometimes they don't like me. It's usually a misunderstanding.
@spraoi I like you!
-
@Kaliah who do you really like? Name some names!
@evan People I enjoy following: @FreakyFwoof @pawpower @KaraLG84 @BTyson @MariahL @lulu_bear just to name a few whose posts I enjoy seeing around. Yes to all the people mentioned here I think you all post cool stuff lol.
-
@virtuous_sloth who are some good ones?
@evan There are many, especially on our instance! I'll have to think about making lists. And checking them twice.

Evan Prodromou The poll doesn't show on my NoeBB-based site, so I'll just answer via write-in.
Yes, but... There are a lot of really great, kind, interesting, intelligent, and/or engaging people here that I'm glad to interact with.
I've also come across an amount of vaguely revenge-of-the-nerdish behaviour, where angry folks show up in the comments and demand basic things be hidden behind content warnings or that I follow some rule from their instance on my server I pay for, and that they're only seeing posts from because of some choice someone on their instance made, and they often don't take get lost for an answer.

Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan I follow people either if I know them well or if I look at their profile and am interested in their posts. Some people I follow are: @Kaliah , @Haven_of_dreams , @elliottman98 , @Ethan_edwards , @samtupy , @maysoncabo , @cartertemm , @Evdog1245 , @stevo399 , @lexipic , @grace , @MS26 , @MutedTrampet , @BrailleScreen All these people post really cool things. I have a small number of people I follow but like seeing everything that's posted on my home feed. All these people post really cool things.
-
@keydelk any good people in particular?
@evan lots. Some of my favorite people to follow are @GeePawHill - always has great insight and seems like he would be a lot of fun to hang out with. @pluralistic, @WeirdWriter, @cstross and @susankayequinn are some of my favorite writers on here. And I discovered some awesome video games by @eniko and by @clarus

@evan Yes. Even if I blocked you it ain't personal and I hope you're doing well. We're all on a journey and what a place this is turning out to be!

Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan@cosocial.ca yes, but some of them are really horny (like alarmingly horny)
anybody on cosocial.ca, isometry.group, 438punk.house, or merveilles.town i usually follow immediately, and i rarely regret a follow!

@keydelk @evan @GeePawHill @pluralistic @cstross @susankayequinn @eniko @clarus Yay! I have my moods and I have my days like everyone else, but lately, I’ve been really appreciating the vast amount of knowledge and resources I have found on here. Quite honestly, there are more days than not where Fedi is a banging search engine!

@mike I agree with this Mike. I'm here, mostly because of a few nice people, FOSS news, and I enjoy the infrastructure of the Fediverse. But some of the drama here gets really petty over things we're better off scrolling past and moving on.

Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan The vast majority are amazing but.... there is a tiny subset that wants to police everyone else to enforce their rules and it just gets SO OLD
-
Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan in general, yes, but that's partly because i block anyone i don't like :)

I think online communication — of which Fediverse is now the culmination — mirror that quote from the Conrad's _The Heart of Darkness_, something like:
“The human mind is the most dangerous thing because everything is in it.”
These spaces are the best and the worst of everything humans can think.
And in dark times like these, it leans to the worst.
So, I voted: “No, but…”

Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan If it were up to me, fedi would be more diverse, not in the "more minorities" sense but in the sense of there being more people of different ages and interests.
Outside computers, queer stuff and cats, there aren't many other people here to talk about the other things I like because there aren't a lot of youngish millennial women here.
I 100% agree with @golemwire about pessimism on Trending too. It's highly unpleasant.

@evan Oh, and I forgot about the time a white supremacist followed me hoping to get an automatic follow back. I'm so glad you can remove followers now!

Do you like the people on the Fediverse?
@evan yes, but some I really don’t
