#RoundSparrowAsserts

"The Internet" was in the hands of librarians, universities... #EternalSeptember eventually replaced people who were sincere, honest, accurate information providers with those best at attraction, manipulation, selling. All the bullshit techniques of the world prey on our brains now.

my generation, late genX and millennial, found our only home on the internet and it was all good until YOU #boomers came along. now all is full of antivaxxers and useful idiots. you do not want to learn how to spot russian trolls and misinformation, share it regularly. can't google and verify shit. can't speak english. you came one here in genX and millennial spaces and destroyed everything with your arrogance and unwillingness to learn.

*SIGH*

german lefties and alt-right are on youtube rage baiting by doxxing each other while #X is violating #EU #law on daily basis with far right content and no one even gives a fuck anymore and i start to wonder if people are plain and simple too goddamn stupid for the #internet. like all of them. in general.

@ethanschoonover

Not looking forward to 2027 then.

#EternalSeptember

@CarveHerName yeah. 0 days since the last #vatnik in my feed. #socialmedia is OVER. we can all pack up our stuff, turn off your computer, thank for all the fish but there is nothing more to see here.

Today marks 5 years since I last went into an office for work.

I left early that day (a Wednesday) because I had some kind of stomach bug and vomited. It was a $50 Lyft ride from Brickell, in Miami to the then BB&T commuter parking lot in far west Sunrise just past Sawgrass Mills.

The office officially closed that Friday, and I retired in September 2021.

For me, time has warped into having no meaning and today is simply March, 1837, 2020.

@BeAware I haven't had (almost) any such issues with #fediseer, but my primary audience has been #lemmy and the #threadiverse instead of microblogging. There's surprisingly different norms that have been organically reached in mastodon over the past decade which are fairly alien outside it.

It honestly feels more like a small group of people trying to futilely hold back the Eternal September through scolding and pile-ons.

#EternalSeptember

The only reason I am not saying this #January is going on forever, is because #September1993 is still going too.

Seeing so many people in the "Local" feed on Pixelfed posting photos with captions like "Hello Pixelfed" or "First post" is seriously a really nice version of an Eternal September.

@themizzi @kissane

they don't want "the normies"

they fear an #eternalseptember

thing is, since this is federation, anyone worried about that can keep their niche communities separate and never encounter "the normies"

and, like erin said, we want "the normies" here

otherwise they get mindwiped by plutocrat agendas on centralized #socialmedia

to do that we have to make the process of getting into the #fediverse dead simple

dead. simple.

even picking a server is a step too high for many

@Khrys Mastodon le réseau social qui se prépare à un #eternalseptember bis ?

@NaClKnight

yeah

if we ever want #mastodon #fediverse to grow, it has to be dead simple

dead. simple.

"i don't want all these normies on mastodon"

you kind of do

otherwise they are off in #twitter land or #rednote land or #facebook land getting mindwiped, and then voting

you can curate your mastodon experience to your hearts content, and avoid them all

don't worry about #eternalseptember on mastodon

worry about #plutocrat agendas controlling hordes of zombies

After a couple of years’ participation in the #fediverse, I’ve realized I can’t maintain my usual sincere and open attitude to enjoy my exchanges here.

Instead, I’ve reverted to the troll-blocking mindset I developed on #IRC in the 1990s. The #EternalSeptember that started there continues to produce edgelords here.

They’re just attention and audience thieves, not worth the energy for anything more than indifferently blocking them on first contact.
