Using the fedi isn't the same as before or maybe I'm too tired and I see wrong dunno, feel less cozy

@Technowix I think I'm no the one in need of headpats. It's just weird seeing you get no satisfaction (?) out of this.

@cmdr_amarao I get satisfaction, but... I don't know how to describe this feeling.

I miss a lot welcoming everyone, but it's exhausting and time consuming.
I miss a lot speaking in 4/5 conversations as the same time, but same, it "take time" and... See, I'm speaking of time about things that should be enjoyable... x_x
Also à lot of wonderful people I want to debate with, have fun with, know better but I feel uncomfortable about it...

Grmblrghřfchkddcbvjffkkvddfv....

@Technowix tbh it's a sensation palpable to some of us on smug, mostly with discourse beyond our instance. something's changed, even if it is hard to pin down what that is.
@awg @Technowix
It's a combination of blocklist/mismanagement/twitter success that is causing this.

Which is why early on I've pushed for getting new people as much as possible. It helps mitigate these feelings.

I have the feeling that I'm kinda out of the loop, everyone is nice to me ofc and very friendly but that just because you are wonderful people as usual... But I'm still feeling weird 'bout it :blobbounce:

@Technowix I had a similar feeling a while ago. In your case I think it is probably because niu is such a success, there are so many active users you can never be close to all of them.

@wim_v12e I know I can't be close to everyone but...

@Technowix i know what you mean

i think it's a growing thing though, or maybe something with a season

@amphetamine not sure to understand, like something temporary? :3

@Technowix i think its just the drama...i try to tune it out though and enjoy the convos

@crushv @Technowix hope I haven't contributed to that atmosphere. somedays i just gotta vent, and some other days i'm just up for a little bit of a debate.

i have seen some dramas that happen, usually between users from other instances, that kind of kill the mood for me tho

@crushv @Technowix but yeah, i try to ignore those. also some users are more or less active during some time periods than others so that may also be part of it. i'm sure it'll pick back up tho :3

@mrjunge @Technowix venting is perfectly ok, i do it too and i try to talk to engage people in it. the issue is when people try to bring down others.

seeing dtluna delete someone from his instance on personal disagreements was really bad.....

@crushv @Technowix honestly these days i personally block anyone that seems either really edgy or w/ no chill. i used to tolerate the more edgy stuff back in the day, but now i don't really have much patience for it, even tho some ppl think it makes things "lively."

@mrjunge @crushv @Technowix Yep.. No point in dealing with hostility if you don't need to.

@mrjunge @crushv no no, it's not drama or things like that, and don't worries you didn't drove my mind with your rants sometime.

Drama are, imo from here, stress heavy, but they didn't play something here :s

@Technowix @crushv Thank you. :blobheart: and yeah. But I hope things pick back up for you! : )

@Technowix Then I need to help increase the cozy!

@Technowix

safe spaces require bigotry against dissenters leading to divergent populations

maybe this?

@D
no. The bed I'm sleeping in, I want to be a safe space. Having it a safe space does not divergent population, but rather brings population closer together, caused by me not being pissed off for not being able to sleep.
@Technowix

@Technowix i think it's because there is so many new people here and you can't know and closely follow everyone anymore
