customize your hot cakes with syrup


hi it seems like my mastodon thread is doing some rounds here in the meta tag so if i have to look at posts about it here i want to just make a few things clear:

  1. there's no weird grudges going on here, basically everything i feel is in the post, that's literally why i made it, to add context to why i feel the way i do currently
  2. i joined this site sincerely the day it launched publicly to see what it was going to be. i pretty much immediately had problems finding people to follow that posted things i cared about and that has not changed the whole time i've been here so...meta posting is all i've really found to do here.
  3. i do not find being very honest and frank about how i feel about things to be "bad faith". i don't think posting negatively about something is "bad faith". i'm sincere in what i said and felt. there's no ulterior motive here, i've been pretty fuckin blunt about where i'm coming from, that's the whole point. being negative about something is fine. it's fine if you disagree with me too!
  4. i have problems with a lot of other platforms too because none of them are truly great so if your reaction is "but what about mastodon/twitter/bluesky/etc." i have written a lot of words about those too. that wasn't my topic yesterday.

anyway thanks!

in reply to @lori's post:

it's been bit of a trip, seeing how folks respond to that thread on here. Like.

For as much as we talk about "unlearning twitter brain" on here, there was some real "i like waffles" "so you hate pancakes, huh????" stuff goin on where folks started adding tone that frankly wasn't there, pouring their own gasoline on it so they could get fired up.

i think your thread brought perspective to the whole debate, and that's valuable, even if its not being valued.

You may not have a weird grudge, but looking at how much metaposting you do, one is certainly not inclined to take you seriously.

Hi, I also don't take someone seriously who leaves a comment like this and blocks me! I would simply have just blocked me to begin with instead of leaving a weird flouncepost about it!
