I love how people just drop xkcd pages like how religious zealots drop Bible verses. Y’alls minds are beautiful and I’m amazed every time someone remembers a specific comic.

What? What? Please inform me of this Lemmy lore I’m hella confused

Misskey is like a double edged sword for me. It’s so much more cooler and fresh looking than both Mastodon and Pixelfed, like I truly do love how sleek it looks on browser. There’s a shit ton of customization for profile pics, banners, icons, emoji reactions, etc. It incorporates both in one, pictures and short messages with hashtags.

But like, the site is so overstimulating too. I think it’s partially because it’s influenced by Japanese website culture which loves to overload the screen with text and ads and other graphics, so people’s reaction emojis will be table slamming, and their icon will have a fish doing backflips on their profile pic, and they’ll put text like “わぉぉおおおおお!1!1!1” that shakes around and shit, and it basically feels as overwhelming as this runon sentence. Like I feel a little lost when I use it ngl. Also the fact that basically all the servers are Japanese (cause it came from Japan) and the really good ones (misskey.io and pawoo.net) are not allowing foreigners to sign up because people got mad (I mean there’s a lot of loli shit on there too…) so it’s a struggle for non-Japanese speakers (I’m learning the language but my brain gets tired looking at misskey).

I joined a misskey sever but barely use the account, and half the time I’m looking at posts from remote servers (which is another fun bag of worms, looking at remote content on both Mastodon and Misskey sucks in app tbh). Honestly I barely use Mastodon or Pixelfed anyway, Lemmy is my main time sinker.

Edit: A Misskey feature that Mastodon doesn’t have is antennas, you can basically make a feed based off of a keyword you make. Almost like following hashtags but you can really specify it!

Yeah, certified “smart kid” here, and I had some friends, but most of my close friends weren’t in my classes, so I barely got to see them. I love learning, it’s literally the reason why I’m learning another language rn and spend hours tinkering with my laptop, but I fucking hated school. It was so monotonous and tiring, and I was waking up before sunrise to get ready for school but frequently went to sleep past 12 am. Add clubs and sports on that and I had mornings where I seriously wondered why I was still alive.

I cried several times each week in my classes, and sometimes at the front of the room near the teachers desk. Whenever I recount the various times I silently cried in class, my friends look horrified.

Highschool was not kind.

I know it’s overused but cliches are cliche for a reason, so I love it when people say “So close!” and then make fun of someone for saying some braindead shit.

Also reminds me of some stupid ad I saw for expensive ass chlorophyll powder packets to put in your water. My sibling in christ, eat a fucking salad with spinach if you want chlorophyll.
