I like art and being nice to people on the internet. At least most of the time. My previous account was Cris_Color before changing instances

Queer, gender-messy twink. Into crafts. Learning how to care for plants. Nerdy about fish and aquariums.

  • I don't think anyone understands what you're trying to say

  • You gotta save the coup de gras for last, the beans are for dessert 😌

  • Lol, thats good to know!

    I have a slightly better PC now, but still no money 😅

  • Maybe try making a post on one of the movies or shows comms (I'm not familiar with it and don't know if its a movie or a show. Though you can also just post where people are.)

    c/casual_conversations can also be a place to chat

    I think in some cases on the threadiverse communities just have to be more catchall, because there aren't enough people to congregate around a more specific topic. But there may be other people out there who would love to chat about that with you, even if there aren't enough for a specific community for the show

    (Apologies if youve already tried this, I just had the problem solving thought and figured I'd share. If its not helpful thats okay :)

  • Someone explained that that exists and hasnt connected with people, but I think a big part of why it hasnt is that theres no real social drive to comment or engage with something if theres zero chance the poster might see it. It kinda feels like you're just speaking into the void, or talking to yourself

    Thats how I feel about it at least 🤷🏻‍♂️ if a human reposts stuff at least you can chat with the reposter about it, if its the kind of post where that makes sense. If the post is a "hey look at this thing I did", the reposter can't really say how it went or discuss the experience

  • I think they might just be going for a play on words, but I could be wrong

  • So does a lot of the internet at large though. Reddit is especially bad but my other example was YouTube.

    Reddit does have an especially big problem with sexism though

  • It definitely was 😅 I see sexism here more than any other form of chauvinism

  • 😏 If youre willing to come out of your shell we can uhhhh.... Fry you up nice and cripsy? Leave your yolk runny and season you with salt and pepper?

    I'm not sure extending the metaphor works so good... 😶

  • Lol, I'm so glad you enjoyed it

    I saw it on fetlife of all places (which confuses me cause like who in their right mind scrolls for so long on fetlife that you need a break. Fetlife is for seeing my friends naked and hearing they're doing well and then closing, not endless scrolling), and thought to myself fedi folks would enjoy it :)

  • I've pinched off a ton of buds already to get the plant to a size I feel decent about, I'm ready to let it start fruiting now. I considered letting it go longer but I'm worried about not having long enough for them to mature, and honestly I probably don't have a good place to put a normal 100% full maturity pepper plant while keeping it in the sun and safe from the wind. Nor do I have a big enough planter (I think I've heard people use like 5 gal buckets? Thats way bigger than I have a good place to put, I don't actually have my own balcony at my complex so its shared space on a ledge in the breezeway. I'm not technically supposed to have belongings there and a 5 gal bucket up on the ledge visible from the parking lot would be kind of a lot lol)

    I am new to growing stuff so I have no idea if I'm at the point of blooms late, or early relative to what you'd want lol

  • While thats true, if my friend whose biggest interests are science informed dog training and animal genetics joins the threadiverse there are not enough people here who genuinely really care about those subjects to actually sustain any of the social connection she's looking for around them.

    If my friend who's super into basketball and competitive league of legends join she'd have at least a couple people to talk to, but its fundamentally not what she's looking for to talk to exactly 3 other people who care about the thing she's into.

    I try to remember that as much as I love the fediverse and feel at home here, it has real limitations for lots of people, and its okay if its not in a state they can go enjoy very easily. This is a space that I am passionate about and want to contribute to. I don't expect everyone to do labor to invest in a space that isnt their passion just to chat with folks when they have the ability to chat with folks somewhere else, even if that place has bigger picture downsides or harms associated with it.

  • Thats because YouTube changed their algorithm to fix the toxic cesspool it was before.

    So now it only shows the most vapid, hollow, flowery drivel anyone says.

    I'm not sure the fault really lies with the 12 year old saying "first". I get why its irksome though.

  • I feel like part of queer culture is that you always fuck your friends lol. Maybe I just hang out with especially slutty queers 😅

  • Lmao

  • Gardening @lemmy.world

    Just saw my pepper plant has put out its first blooms! ☺️☺️☺️

  • You are so very welcome 😌

    Take care Zero! ☺️

  • The fediverse is great if you fall into the like 5 interests that are pretty well represented here.

    But if the communities you wanna engage with aren't really active enough for potential posters to not just forget they exist, or you don't really want to be on a platform where 75% of the front page is news or memes about the state of the world politically, its not neccisarily a great replacement to reddit

    For me it happens to cover enough of my bases, but I can get why it wouldn't for many people.

  • If we have a butt that we'd like to make available for purchase how does one go about having it placed on display?

  • Conservative ideology and radicalization generally also tends to be built out of a persecution complex, so I'm not sure if that will have the intended result.

    Whether it'd be just and appropriate or not though, is another story
