I mostly interact with posts and profiles about online safety, representation, inclusion, memes and capybaras but I absolutely cannot resist a hot take

Do not punish the behaviour you want to see

I mean, it seems pretty obvious when you put it like that, right?

But how many families, when an introvert sibling or child makes an effort to socialize, snarkily say, β€œSo, you've decided to join us"?

Or when someone does something they've had trouble doing, say, β€œWhy can't you do that all the time?"” (Happened to me, too often.)

Or any sentence containing the word β€œfinally”.

If someone makes a step, a small step, in a direction you want to encourage, encourage it. Don't complain about how it's not enough. Don’t bring up previous stuff. Encourage it.

Because I swear to fucking god there is nothing more soul-killing, more motivation-crushing, than struggling to succeed and finding out that success and failure are both punished.

@lifewithtrees It depends! I've become increasingly better at privatising my social media accounts to only include my closest friends. I seriously used to feel like this though. I do mostly stay away from any public spaces like YouTube comments, or Facebook entirely for this very reason. it's just not worth the frustrations of dealing with strangers online.

@georgetakei imagine being the person writing that and thinking Daniel and Emma actually want her approval to begin with

I do have a question for the folk and anyone following !

I have been struggling to giving the Peertube, Pixelfed, and other multimedia fediverse alternatives a chance because I'm lacking a sort of "main hub" for them.

I chose mastodon.social for that very reason, it being a sort of standard and generic mastodon server.

But does and other alternatives have something similar?

"Mr. Cat registers annoyance." From More Mr. Cat and a Bit of Amber Too by George Freedley, illustrated by Victor J. Dowling.

A black line illustration of a longhaired cat, lying curled up but looking at the viewer with ears flattened back. Text at the bottom reads "Mr. cat registers annoyance".

I haven’t done a single bit of painting or hobby stuff in the last week. Which is unusual for me but also it’s kind of nice to take a break sometimes.

Parents: Kids are more depressed these days, I wonder why? 

Kids: You destroyed the economy for us, the earth is literally dying, we are going to work until we die and on top of that the Nazis are back. 

Parents: It's those pesky iPhones

I think there will always be an ongoing on the community about what and how much data websites should be allowed or not allowed to track and sell for add use.

Personally I don't think I mind getting targeted . If I've given a website details about myself, sure they can use that to do what they want on their website. My biggest gripe is when that data is given and sold to another website altogether.

The details I chose to share should be my choice.
