It became the only reliable source of information I had. People posted links with a minimal amount of commentary, picking and choosing the best content from other social media networks. They’re not doing it to “build a brand” because that’s not a thing in the Fediverse. It’s too disjointed to be a place to build a newsletter subscription base.

It's also one of the most nitpicky whiny places you can visit. A new open source software/update just got released and it does something cool! "Well it's not {x} compliant so it's trash." Or "If a solo developer or a team decides to use 'AI' then their entire project is AI slop."

There are so many moments where I'm like "just shut the fuck up and enjoy the software/news/updates these strangers are providing for free."

It’s full of leftist purity testing, that’s for sure. And, you can’t say certain things even if they are actually true.

People are far less aggressive with their opinions compared to reddit. 90-95% of people here are decent people though with strong opinions. And as long as I can have a civil discussion with someone I think it's a decent enough place to be, no matter what bias.

Purity testing is a good thing, it keeps shit out of your milk and feds out of your org

Yeah fuck that. I'd rather everyone just be themselves.

And the eight and final rule of fediverse, if this is your first time discussing linux distros, you have to fight.

I like Plasma KDE. Now grab your stick.

One of my policies to make this place less insufferable, is to block people who behave in ways that I object to.

For example if somebody shows up in a Windows thread, and just types in "Linux!" I'm blocking that person. Add something germane or novel or fuck right the fuck off, that's my attitude.
