Are you on the Fediverse because you love social networking, or because you hate social networking?

I'm on the Fediverse because I hate answering surveys.

@huntingdon ironic!

Really interesting. I'm entirely love.

I want to engage with people that matter to me. I want to use software to help me do that. I'd like to do it in a way that makes my life and others' better.

@evan I’m entirely love, and because the Fedi is the only online “social networking” place I know of, I’m here. I don’t count the services designed to sell my attention to advertisers as social in any way. And bluesky? Well, the investors are not selfless benefactors.

@evan poor people

@liilliil i don't understand this!

@evan I missed the poll, but very much for the love of it. My FediCon talk referenced the undergrad Technology and Society course that set me on a path - the "Society" is the vital part of that.
It was the engagement with other interesting humans that drew me in.
Ironic looking at "social media" now. That time in my life was when commercial capture and manipulation of human social connection happened in meatspace - couldn't meet people without buying alcohol or paying cover charges, etc.

@evan I instinctively answered “more hate than love” because “social networking” to me is the big American commercial services like FB et al. Cosocial.ca and the fediverse feels like something different.

@Gina that's basically what Linux live disks are for. 😉
Aeons ago, when I was at college, I kept a Knoppix disk in my bag for any time I had to use a college computer, specifically to avoid having to put up with their locked down systems.

@shidokidoki (I don't even know what VGen is, but have a boost, hopefully it'll reach more competent people ;-))

@jonathankoren but, I recall from reviews at the time that GEOS on PC was allegedly crazy great for low end hardware. Much faster and more responsive than early Windows versions even on faster hardware, and it could run on stuff Windows wouldn't touch (like an 8088). I vaguely even recall it had some kind of multitasking, which Windows and MacOS didn't have at the time.

@jonathankoren yeah, I used C64 GEOS for all my school work for at least a couple of years. Before that I had SpeedScript, the first version of which my dad and I typed in from a magazine. I seem to recall I used some other word processor on C128, but I don't remember what. Then it was Final Writer on Amiga.
But, GEOS has a certain nostalgic magic about it. I've tinkered with it more recently, and it is dog slow on a C64 with a real disk drive and no RAM expansion, I don't know how I endured.

@Paradox on a cursory look, she looks like she gotta pee

@swelljoe I used the c64 goes back in the day. It’s word processor was pretty cool. It was wysiwyg and could insert images. Light years above Bank Street Writer and whatever shareware word processor I usually used for papers. (The shareware one had a self updating minimap with layout, so that was something)

@Majden12 ho tagliato corto, così l'interazione si è spenta...
