@smallcircles Cozy village, mostly.
Having non-standard opinions on some things sometimes gets me into tussles with people, but that's very rare as I'm quick to block people who are jerks or don't approach in good faith.

@smallcircles To me the fediverse feels like an accidental but useful overlap of only-slightly-convergent universes – a region where aliens can go to communicate with each other before returning to their own dimensions.
(Really, that's how it feels. How else would you describe a place where antipodean flaneurs can hold convos with Dutch furries about toaster repair?)

@smallcircles A city.
There's too much different stuff for a village. :)
Also the Left and tbe Green party of my country are here which would sadly be pretty unusual for a small village in my parts. -

@smallcircles Like a massive space habitat where beings of all types from everywhere in the universe come and go as they please, and are permitted to Just Be.
Rather like Iain M. Banks' Culture civilisation, but less manipulative.

@smallcircles A metropolis; I was born in London, not far from the Docks, and my MastoNerds are all different people unlike the sausagemeat populace of Meta etc. There are quiet corners and bustling thoroughfares here for choosing where you are comfortable.

College dorm, freshman year.
Various freak flags are fully let fly, and there's a lot of "OMG you too? I thought I was the only one."

@smallcircles No, I love ghosts, they have the coolest stories, and I don't have to deal with those pesky living people with their racism and their hate.
I also love villages, they're livable, they're walkable and the only real problem is being stuck out in the middle of nowhere, and that downside doesn't really apply online.
And bustling: Every place is full of people I want to hear from.I don't have the time to hear from all of them, but that's just the FOMO speaking.

@androcat aha, do you mean you find it hard to get information and connections around your interest areas?

@maikel that is a great list of points. I won't boost, or you get more of what you don't want, but you might consider filing a fediverse idea..

Some of these can be mitigated by nurturing cultural habits.
> 6. The worst one: people use other names instead to call them so filters don't work.
This one in particular. Besides references to toxic people you see it too with folks saying Gaggle, GMAFIA, Farcebook, etc.
Often these names are used in someone's "activism package", but using them is imho more performative to an existing in-group than that they constructively appeal to others and persuade them to join the good cause.
I posted something related to this today. See CALM culture in..
The acronym also litterally means that our social media culture becomes calmer, and there's better separation to where there's activism, and where the natural talk of the town.

...to guess what's on a picture, and add it, so when you tell them "I'm not interested in Trump" it actually filters him forever.
-
@smallcircles the problems are
1. Pics of Trump face with no trump text, so filters don't work.
2. Pics of Elon face with...see point 1. Like that all other US rage-producing club of billionaires or MAGAs.
3. Using tags as "USpol" requires manual intervention, nobody does.
4. Mastodon follows BOOSTS of whoever you add by default, instead of making those opt-in
5. People don't use alt-text so filters at least filter Trump face becaus eof the alt-text.
6. The worst one: people use other names instead to call them so filters don't work.What commercial media gets right:
1. They have the power to guess...
