  • Hey, all! Currently thinking about rules for a mastodon instance I'm putting together with a friend. What are some rules that you wish your server had? Or rules that would make you feel confident in joining a new server? I'm all ears!

  • Throwing this out there in case someone's figured it out.... I'd like my loops account link on Mastodon to appear as verified. I was able to do this with my Bookwrym account because the bio accepts html. Loops doesn't. Has anyone managed to do the rel=me necessary for the verification? Or maybe there's another way? Not a big deal but would be cool if I could do it. (Also completely understand why html is not accepted and surprised that I can in Bookwyrm!)

    @hnt "You are a violent and irrepressible miracle. The vacuum of cosmos and the stars burning in it are afraid of you. Given enough time you would wipe us all out and replace us with nothing -- just by accident."

    Words that has stuck with me.

    @zaxxon Yes, I feel similarly. Like, I can speak their language with a heavy accent, but they often can't form a sentence in mine.

    @zaxxon I totally understand. I feel the same way. Unfortunately it seems most people won't understand. In order to understand they would have to listen and learn, be a little curious. And no matter the neurotype, those are disappearing qualities it feels like. But maybe I'm also feeling a bit callous today too. 😓 I'm not sure the way out of this track, but if I find one, I'll let you know. 💖

    @zaxxon More and more I don't tell people I'm autistic. I think a lot of people don't really know what that means, so it's like I might as well say I'm fsdklmjqsdflm. They don't get it. But I do say I can't do this or that thing and need help with it. If they don't want to help (by being more explicit, helping me anticipate, etc.), well, then I call that out on face value as just being a bad, unsympathetic person. Sometimes that goes over better, sometimes it doesn't. More often, a little better

  • If I were in the world of Fear and Hunger, I would definitely be in a Sylvian cult. The probability only increases the more modern the setting.
    Not necessarily the Bunny Masks though. But definitely a Sylvain cult.

    @fishidwardrobe Yeah. That. I had to break it off with a guy lately because there was a lot of that. And I think that's the first time I can remember where I decided, "you know, I communicated what I need in order to understand each other and this person doesn't want to do that, so I guess that's where it stops" Instead of trying and trying only to exhaust myself, which is what I normally do. Did. :)

    @fishidwardrobe For what it's worth, I don't find their communication style or behavior mysterious. We're surrounded by it and have no choice to understand it if we want to move in this world, but I remain frustrated by it none the less. Much like cultural differences I have living outside of my country of birth. I understand why these things happen, but they are none the less frustrating and present obstacles.

    @fishidwardrobe My experience is that they do think they're being clear. I think we all think we're being clear, really. But some people when you point out "that's not what you said" react one way (oh I guess that's not exactly what I said) and some react another (well you were supposed to understand). For the first group, we're all good. For the second, well, you see, if I could just understand by seeming magic, I guess I wouldn't be autistic then 😅 And with that second group, you can't do much

    @fishidwardrobe Totally. This is what most of my therapy sessions deal with in one way or another.

  • One of the biggest frustrations I have communicating with allistics is when they finally see with their eyes a situation I've been describing and their reaction was, "I thought you were exaggerating!" No, actually. I mean, we all have our biases that can color our perspectives, but I do this revolutionary thing of.... saying what I mean. Go figure.
