@shibao@scathach the shitposting is a coping mechanism. well adjusted people don't need to turn every waking moment in to sarcastic comedy :gutkato_pensegas:
@scathach@stereophonic.space but i think they should be allowed to make that choice, people use the internet for different things. i just don't like it as much
@shibao That makes sense, I've definitely found that people who use fedi mostly or entirely for shitposting don't feel very... human? That's not quite the right word; it's harder to get to know them as people beyond superficial friendship
@scathach@stereophonic.space yeah i think it has bad effects on social spaces but i mostly just don't really care for it vs people actually just being authentic. people have enough bullshit stopping them from being as authentic as they might want to be but i might just be saying this cuz i've always been the kind of person who wears my heart on my sleeve and can't really live otherwise without very bad side effects
@dcc@annihilation.social@icedquinn@blob.cat@scathach@stereophonic.space some people are definitely really badly ironypilled as a coping mechanism but i don't think liking to shitpost is some psychological gotcha or anything. but it isn't really what i use fedi for. the most shitposting i follow/engage in is mostly because i like some shitposters
@dcc@annihilation.social@curiousthinkerunderground@poa.st@icedquinn@blob.cat@scathach@stereophonic.space >People that want to only serious-post 24/7 are a fking killjoy okay. how about a funny post then. i met luke smith in person at the 2023 south east linux fest. his last video was posted on april 12th, 2023 announcing that he would be visiting several places in person, in addition to south east linux fest. isn't this post funny? anyways i like meeting up with people irl :)
@shibao@icedquinn@scathach@dcc Im mean thats on brand for him, he hinted that he was going more and more off-grid and using tech less. Mans just grilling and reading books on his little homestead I bet.
