I try to be a good an honest person, even on the internet where no one will know I'm a dog. I try to take people at face value when possible-- we all need to form our own opinions.

But I'll be good fucking goddamned if every reddit post someone tries to be nice on is either met with blatantly superficial kindness in return, or an ass ton of downvotes.... for some fucking reason only known to the hivemind.

I much prefer to be here-- here and Mastodon. In both places I've gotten to have conversations with real fucking people about real fucking things that I really fucking care about.

I love being able to educate people on things-- and have it be taken in stride as opposed to being viewed as speaking down or assuming someone is 'stupid.' I love the actual back and forth that comes of it.

The Fediverse really does give us the experience we had in the early days of the internet-- where if your opinion was dogshit, real life people would tell you and give you the reason why, without being a condescending jackass right back.

Anyway, love you Lemmy. Stay vibin.
