   My IRL friends sometimes make me feel like some eclectic, erudite, cultured, sage-ass MF. A real "nuance and careful consideration" type dude

   And then i scroll Mastodon for 10 minutes and feel like the straightest, most cis-gendered, blackest man to ever grace the face of the planet. Real uncooth barbarian "i hit it with my axe" type dude.

   Life is funny like that

     i've thought about this, some. i think it's because the internet (especially social media) creates bubbles of extremism for every ideology, so it's not an accurate representation of what to expect in fleshy human interaction. by this theory, Mastodon is more akin to a perpetual X-rights rally rather than a "i'm going to some random social function with friends."
