Every social media site has its own unique form of brainworms it inflicts on people. Twitter has the "I like pancakes" "Oh, so you hate waffles?!" thing, tumblr has, "um, actually some people?? have sensory issues?? about pancakes?? how dare you talk about pancakes?? you insensitive prrrrick??", mastodon has "we (five user instance) unfederated pancakes.boner because the admin said he likes pancakes when we SPECIFICALLY said we don't believe pancakes belong on the Fediverse", I'm really excited to find out what cohost will do to people when it gets a little bigger

you haven't noticed the way that everyone who comes here is immediately seized by a desire to do the worst goddamn posts as far as the computer can perceive them? All the cursed CSS? The way the update bar could include 'we bought a gun to shoot the server with in case it made a weird sound' and then 'update: we got a bigger gun' and you would not recoil, but instead, cheer?

Yes but that's a correct and healthy attitude toward our accursed enemy, the computer.
