@PaulaToThePeople I ran a pleroma server ages ago but I shut it down. Convinced to rejoin after meeting some awesome people at a conference

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.

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”

«...The Trump administration has cast Macklin Good as a “domestic terrorist”...»
È evidente in quale modo venga utilizzato il termine "terrorista" dagli Stati fascisti: chiunque non si stottometta al terrore e alla violenza di Stato è un terrorista, chiunque, fosse pure una creatura di 3 anni che mangia una merendina di colore non gradito al regime.

Gli squali sono davvero affascinanti. Non sapevo che la specie della Groenlandia potesse vivere fino a 400 anni e che avesse la capacità di "riparare" i danni agli occhi provocati dai parassiti che infestano i loro bulbi oculari.

@Paradox cloacal sex. I think you still need to orient the penetration appropriately though?

@Gianlu era qualcosa sul compagno Popov che aveva inventato tutto, un po' come citato in https://www.radio-caterina.org/loris-nannini-in-urss/2/ , ma non me la ricordo più
