-A discord community i frequent since almost 2 decades (it already existed before discord). Even though we didn't escape the dramas, we are basically a found family, they even know some things about me taht even my own mother ignore.
-My big sister's own friends.
-People i know in the music academy.

-Elephants can't jump.
-Starfish don't brains.
-Cheetahs are almost literally giant housecats: they purr, they meow, they don't attack humans and are surprisingly easy to tame.
How to explain to a tech illiterate how Mastodon works?
For now, i don't know how to explain it and make it comprehensible to tech illiterate, let alone incite them to give a try for longer than the very short term.
If you are yourself a tech illiterate, which method worked for you?
If the tech illiterate is someone you know, which method was successful to convince them?
The Caitlyn Jenner case
Hello, maybe it's out of scope of this community, but it's an haunting question i can't answer and i hope someone could do it for me: what's the logic behind the reasoning of Jenner about the trans cause? It seems that she zigzags permanently in this subject. She in turn:
-a misaimed transactivist
-a boomrang bigot
-disinteresed of transactivism
-asking seemingly deliberately to leopards to eat her face
-whining when it happens but still loyal to the said leopards
-advocating for the said leopards going vegan
I don't get the logic behind her reasoning since it's not remotely consistent (outside her endorsement to the GOP), it's worse than people who are stubborn about their opinions, who are at least coherent with themselves.
The moments you acted out of character?
-When i screamed to a person because she was abusive towards a friend who has really a heart of gold. Usually, i never scream to anyone and feel guilty pretty easily, so people must have seriously crossed the line.
-When i ask for a hug. I'm not tactile and hugging is uncomfortable for me, even with persons i like, so when i'm the one who ask, be sure i really really like you.
Trump slammed as "a wolf in sheep clothing" (IMHO, the "sheep clothing" looks pretty wolfy)

For me, they are people from an online community. We know eachother since 1-2 decades and they know some things about me that even my own mother doesn't know. They even unknowingly saved my life when i was on the nearly suicidal during COVID, simply by responding to my cry for help. Sometimes, we get at each other's nerves, but we still close friends nevertheless.
