I never used twitter, but even before Musk took over it was ALWAYS a fundamentally negative force. Whenever its name was cited it was some shit. People fighting and wishing each other dead.
Other social media all has that, but Twitter seems to be ONLY that
Ever since I switched from text to voice I feel like my characters lost some of their... Verbosity.
But last night I bon-mot-ed a minotaur (as my ascended animal swash-bard unicorn) by saying "Oooh, a fellow hooved creature! ... Sorry about your appearance, fella."
And rolled a crit.
And it felt awesome. Playing Swashbard is awesome.
The "Shut the Fuck Up Gringo" whale.
I have a better one:
About all politics. No exceptions.

In terms of technology? Sure. There's projects that are considered "Fediverse" and don't use ActivityPub.
.... But the more important question isn't if it's "Fediverse". Sure it is. It's a federated network. The important question is is it part of the Indie Web, since the Fediverse started as a smaller part of the bigger indie web movement, and then the answer is a big no, because it's a VC-owned for-profit.
I'd have to relearn a bunch of shit.
Don't feel up to it. I'm so used to my setup.
Even using SteamOS ("Arch but we modded it to be sorta kinda like an immutable distro but not really") miffs me more than it should.
My most iconic character (in the shared imaginations of my friends) is my sorceress pirate gal from a Final-Fantasy style campaign.
Our party included:
........ And then there was my gal. A magic college professor who decided "**** it, I'm tired of being boring. I'm gonna go and be a sky pirate, and I want to die an epic death". She is the team mom.
Early February 2020. Someone in my main friend-group groupchat posted some news regarding Coronavirus. Me, happy citizen of UnderARockVille said "What the fuck is a Coronavirus?" and got gently made fun of.
A few weeks later aaaaand we were quarantining.
I would like to congratulate you on choosing the most assholish way you could have possibly phrased that :>
I must wonder why not. Like, clearly those things are enriching to you, aren't they? Why wouldn't you have learned them on your own terms? Assuming nothing was stopping you? You seem not to be an incurious person? Again, information has never been cheaper, you just have to look for it.
Like I'm not trying to make fun of your explanation or even say you're wrong. Just... Genuinely wondering how come
