I honestly get more upset when I see unironic Apple shills on my timeline than racist chuds or whatever.

@lina The pros of their walled garden is that they usually don’t leave it thankfully.

@lina The cons is that their metaphorical walled garden is huge and covers about 90% of the available land of the island leaving only 10% of the landmass where people can be free without rulers.

@lina @Pi_rat @9to5Mac Anyway I’m not against gatekeeping proprietary software shills out of fedi.

We created this place to get away from the shit your holy big tech companies have created. Now stay out.

I am always surprised to see 100s of boosts and likes on other side of wall occasionally when I venture over there. What would be "viral" here is just everyday post with 20 boosts.

@Pi_rat @lina @9to5Mac On mainstream social media there’s 50 times more lurkers than actual participants.

Most normies are just fucking addicted to scrolling their timeline and don’t actually post anything ever.

That’s also why normies believe in this “dead internet theory” bullshit conspiracy.

The internet is very much alive, but only in places where people do not have brainrot and actually want to actively participate in the discussion like here on the Fediverse.

@Pi_rat @lina @9to5Mac This is very noticeable to me whenever I do streaming to Youtube and Owncast at the same time.

Youtube got the algorithm so there’s often like 20-40 viewers on there, but barely anyone chats.

While on Owncast there’s like 5 viewers but the chat is like super active.

Same with videos I post on Owncast.

My videos get like 12 views but 2 comments. The exact same video on Youtube gets 3000 views but only 12 comments.

@SuperDicq @9to5Mac @Pi_rat but yea the thing with normie social media is that it makes the average user feel insignificant if he isn't clawing and tearing his way to fame, which is why more people lurk than contribute and converse and discuss, if you try to do something, you'll be ignored unless you're actively picking fights and posting provocative content

@SuperDicq @lina @9to5Mac @Pi_rat I think the bigger problem is that people feel Some Type Of Way online as well. People are either nodding out, or in their own Discord groups, giving you the cold shoulder, only talking to a few people, etc. Or worse; you get people who will blow up on you if you interact with them.

Internet artists get few interactions now because talking to them is like posting on e621, it's a roulette of getting blocked or the artist ragequitting social media because of you.

@PurpCat @lina @9to5Mac @Pi_rat As much as I enjoy and appreciate digital art.

I do have to say I think the average artist is not very bright.

@SuperDicq @lina @9to5Mac @Pi_rat The problem with artists too is one variable is they want fame and attention. Which is important to know, because that's why they use Twitter to begin with over say DeviantArt.

On DeviantArt, you'd get big if you drew fanart or got the coveted Daily Deviation award. On Twitter, you'd get big if the algo selects you to be For You, or you blew up in some circle.

It's not about community building or a creative scene but about farming likes and whatnot and when that fails...yeah.

@lina @Pi_rat @9to5Mac @SuperDicq back when I looked up DeviantArt early on the Urban Dictionary entries were all shit like "yeah you can get big on this site if you draw half naked anime girls", the MS paint circle tool group overlapped.

@lina @Pi_rat @9to5Mac @SuperDicq I'm sure that's all that's left now, all the artists with some talent fled to other sites because DeviantArt is a "user hostile" website.

@PurpCat @lina @9to5Mac @Pi_rat At least cross post both Twitter and Fedi then. Being on more platforms at the same time would give you the most amount of attention if attention is what you seek.

@SuperDicq @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat well i have a problem with attention whoring, and that shit is attention whoring from even bigger losers than the puppygirl femboys losers are, you want attention, earn it, don't just be a fucking faggot online for it

@SuperDicq @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat unfortunately that shit has a mimicry inducing effect, people see that you can just be a bedshitting faggot and get attention instead of being yourself, it shits up the general field online, its even worse when it happens in a place like fedi where attention means jackshit cuz there's no monetization or other benefit to it and the scale is much smaller
its a shitty trend

@lina @Pi_rat @9to5Mac @SuperDicq also it leads to groups of people becoming a monoculture for attention.

I can name people I used to know from back in the day who had interesting traits who are now just a member of the hivemind because if they act as a puppygirl on discord they can get into a group (and then get ejected just as fast)

@SuperDicq @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat what makes you think that being a puppygirl femboy faggot or some other equivalent degenerate is not unhealthy in a long term scale then?
in fact its either that shit leading to mental illness or vice versa, that shit being a visible trait of mental illness, and that shit is also very unhealthy

That is not a fact. I don’t see why living a healthy kinky LGBT lifestyle is impossible.

0
@SuperDicq @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat maybe because to be a faggot you have to be mentally ill to begin with, and for some reason mental illness simply allows for more mental illness to fester, so i think a "healthy kinkly lgbt lifestyle" is a full on oxymoron like "generous jew" or "kind hohol"

@SuperDicq @lina @9to5Mac @PurpCat @Pi_rat Honestly due to the "magazine" design of the web, I don't think it is really usable for screenreaders even if you put alt-text on all images. Gopher or Gemini would be better suited for those purposes.
