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."

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.
