    It’s because the other internet is ruled by tyrants and pedophiles.

    Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We’ve gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We’re the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.

      And for us Gen-X/Gen-Y folks, all the Fediverse needed to do was to say “it’ll be just like the Internet in the 1990s” and we were like “HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP”

      Gives me BBS era / Usenet vibes, yesss

        I wish this would not have made sense to me, but I think I get what they are trying to say. Enough Internet for today, it makes me feel weird

          No. It’s not enough Internet.

          It means your one with the Internet.

          I for one however wish they had included some some weighted calculations.

    I much prefer this, our own internet, but without the “blackjack and hookers”.

    (I’d like to think that OUR Sex Workers are ethically sourced owners of their own means of production rather than trafficked and/or exploited by pimps or other parasitic human vermin… but one must remain vigilant.)

    Well to be fair, there’s not just neurodivergent people in the Fediverse.

    There’s also a bunch of queer people. And furries.

    Also neurodivergent queer people, neurodivergent furries, queer furries, and neurodivergent queer furries. Duh.

    Which internet should I be on? The one that’s ran by friends of a pedo? Or the one ran by a pedo’s company? Or the one with an actual, 100% for real, CSAM-generator built into it that was too weird to get to be as much of a pedo as he wanted to be?

    Let’s get some more posts about spoon design, OK? I like the validation.

      It does kinda make me feel slightly happy that Elon is a loser in every circle he’s ever wanted to be part of

    It’s just a return to where internet access was a filter, and you didn’t have Boomers on MySpace and phpBB

      Boomers were not on MySpace or “phoBB”. Those were really old GenX and they mainly ended up on Facebook first.
