I don't think I relate to most ppl here which makes things difficult.

No.

I know, but I'd like to relate to ppl here.

@bot you don;t need to relate
-
Embed this notice
Yes, but nobody on the internet tbh. Maybe a few ppl.

@bot do you relate to anyone?
-
Embed this notice
This is a social network, we should be being social and relating somehow.

@bot @ElDeadKennedy for what purpose?
-
Embed this notice
I wouldn't judge you if you posted more or less because I literally don't care. Not that I don't care about your posts or thoughts, but because I'm looking for thoughtful ideas.

@bot I'm being honest here, I'd easily be able to double my daily post output, but then the bangers would be far too diluted

@not_benis @bot @ElDeadKennedy can't believe I didn't make the cut

@bot @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon absolutely, but you don't need to make everybody else think the way you do. That stresses you and annoys your readers.
I've solved the annoying people question by growing my block list to the size of a small star.

I literally try to follow ppl that think completely the opposite of what I do, and I don't put too much effort into convincing them otherwise anymore because it's pointless.

@bot @ElDeadKennedy I just read and react to funny posts and occasionally shout into the void, that might say something about me though

We're not here to get along are we? We're random ppl that don't need to resonate to get along in our daily lives, the opposite really. Notbenistard is trying to make a retarded point but doesn't understand this.

@bot @not_benis @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon Interesting strategy. How does this let you feel that you relate to and resonate with the people on your timeline?
-
Embed this notice
@not_benis @bot @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon It might have something to do with it because those things are different reasons to post online. It's great to expand the perspectives on your timeline but that doesn't mean you will relate to them. That your timeline will leave this impression for you when you can't relate to what is said.

I do understand that this is some ppls daily lives tho but I'm still going to call them notbenistard.

You're confusing relating with agreeing, that's a common mistake.
-
Embed this notice
@bot @not_benis @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon Then you aren't seeking to relate with the people here? I'm not sure what you want from your social media experience here.
-

I associate with unpleasant ppl, I'm here to live the human experience.
-
Embed this notice
@bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon we literally are here to get along, I don't associate with any unpleasant people and I would think less of somebody who would :yuishrug:

Embed this notice
No, you seem mostly agreeable.
-
Embed this notice
@bot @not_benis @ElDeadKennedy @sim oh is that why you followed me
-
Embed this notice
Getting along with people and creating a massive block list are completely opposite. Your statement makes no sense.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon it's called "curating your own experience"
-
Embed this notice
No, you're simply lying to yourself. It's called creating a false reality.
-
Embed this notice
@bot @not_benis @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon I mean, you are following people that think different to you. That's probably not going to help you relate to them unless you can find a favourite preference to relate and talk about.
When you mean relate, what does that look like?
-
Embed this notice
I'm not sure that we do agree, but it doesn't really matter. Blocking doesn't fix the issues that people that cross red-lines cause.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon thanks, I'm glad we agree
-
Embed this notice
Sure it does. You're on the internet. People don't have to read the things that are posted, and they're not forced to engage. There are some rules that should be respected, just as they should be anywhere.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon does "freedom of association" ring a bell to you
-
Embed this notice
It doesn't make those people go away. If you disagree with them, say something if you think it's important.
-
Embed this notice
Just don't engage with people that you don't like... seems fairly simple.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @not_benis @bot @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon And one way to do this is to block or mute them. Then you won't see posts from them. It makes not engaging with them easier when other people you follow interact with them still.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @not_benis @bot @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon On the other hand, there are going to be some people that just rub you the wrong way. You won't get along with them and you'll remain miserable if you try. So I can understand trying to get along with people but blocking those people that you clash with too much.

The fediverse isn't real life. Most people are unable to make others 'go away' in real life either.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon I'm a large enough man that I can make them go away in real life as well, therefore no problem
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @bot @ElDeadKennedy @sim @birdulon no, I'd rather help a friend refine an idea
-
Embed this notice
That doesn't help you with helping others. It only allows you to pretend that people that you don't agree with don't exist... that's all it does.
-
Embed this notice
People don't have to clash at all; it's a screen that anyone can walk away from.
-
Embed this notice
@Quentel @not_benis @bot @ElDeadKennedy @birdulon It's not about making those people go away. I'm content with them existing as they are and doing their own thing while I do my own thing. Sometimes personalities just don't mesh and that's okay. You don't have to keep clashing with each other because you disagree. Better to mute and move on.

Also sorry to all my followers for being primarily shit metaposting lately, will try to contentpost again one day™

Embed this notice
@not_benis @bot on that note I tend to temp mute follows that post too much that I don't care about, at one point a third of my home feed was just one dude thirstposting and I wanted to see some actual good content without wading through that shit
>why not unfollow
they had follower-only conversations with other follows
>what about lists
There might be some settings I'm missing with them, but I couldn't work out how to get lists to work like the home timeline with repoots etc. showing up. It would be good if I could get that working the way I want, I'm hitting too much follow activity and it makes it hard to quickly catch up on the ones I care about most and leave the rest for idle boredom scrolls later on.
The only person I have ever unfollowed was in response to a shitpost that explicitly begged for it.
I don't tend to block anything because it's a network event telling the world about what I'm choosing to not see. Porn accounts that get repooted by follows also get muted, I don't care if anyone else is bothered that I choose to reduce unnecessary scrolling.
