It's weird to me how obsessed some people are with proving to the world that their social media platform of choice is superior. The Fediverse works, we have content, and anyone who decides to seek out a platform that offers what the Fediverse offers can join. Tell your friends about your experience if they might be interested but if they don't stick with it you don't have to be all salty about it.

Chonkus is my favorite microorganism

Any position I hold is toppled over with the slightest argument unless I have very recently done a ton of research on the topic. I have zero ability to recall whatever evidence I used to come to a conclusion. It's incredibly frustrating because I do try to be informed about things but I just can't defend anything at the pace of a normal conversation.

I just finished Raising Steam, and thus have completed the Discworld novels, bar the Science of thr Discworld books. What an adventure. I wasn't much of a reader going into it and it took me years to finish them all, but I am so glad I did it and proud I stuck with it all this time.

Not better, but I am not advocating for the other extreme. I just think our media could stand to show more variety of what a healthy sex life can look like.

I mean to say that I am viewing the content without contributing to the total number of community subscribers, and if many others are accessing the community as I am, then the subscriber count underestimates the community's reach.

I'm not subscribed but I check the community on my Local feed and read the articles regularly as a slrpnk.net member. This community might be in a unique spot where it is a relatively large community on an instance where many instance members chose this particular instance for content like this, so they access it via the Local feed.

Not a teen here but the amount of sex that show characters have seems crazy to me and I genuinely think it affected me because I couldn't keep up as an impressionable child. It's ok to have lots of sex but do we have to act like that's normal and that I should be suffering when I go more than a month without sex?

I didn't get on TikTok because I didn't like the content, not because of the format. If folks make good videos on Loops then I'm down.

Is everybody just phoning it in for a boss that just needs you to do busy work?
