It’s because the other internet is ruled by tyrants and pedophiles.

    Neurodivergent, certainly. But I also have a sneaking suspicion that a large majority of us are millenials. We've gone through this repeatedly in the internet age, changing chat or social platforms. We're the early adopters and eventually everybody on earth comes to crush it to death and then we rebuild somewhere else.

    And for us Gen-X/Gen-Y folks, all the Fediverse needed to do was to say "it'll be just like the Internet in the 1990s" and we were like "HELL YEAH SIGN ME UP"

    Gives me BBS era / Usenet vibes, yesss

    Yes! The millenials too though. We're as nostalgic (or maybe even more nostalgic) for the 90s internet because it was our entire childhoods.

    This is technically correct, which is the best kind of correct.

    I much prefer this, our own internet, but without the "blackjack and hookers".

    (I'd like to think that OUR Sex Workers are ethically sourced owners of their own means of production rather than trafficked and/or exploited by pimps or other parasitic human vermin... but one must remain vigilant.)

    Which internet should I be on? The one that's ran by friends of a pedo? Or the one ran by a pedo's company? Or the one with an actual, 100% for real, CSAM-generator built into it that was too weird to get to be as much of a pedo as he wanted to be?

    Let's get some more posts about spoon design, OK? I like the validation.

    It's just a return to where internet access was a filter, and you didn't have Boomers on MySpace and phpBB

    Boomers were not on MySpace or β€œphoBB”. Those were really old GenX and they mainly ended up on Facebook first.

    The Fediverse really seems like the late 90's/early 00's internet, before the influx of corporate silo media. So far folks here are more or less ok, and the lack of deliberate ragebait pushing is refreshing.

    While the rest of social media is where neurotypical people go to talk with bots?

  • [–] 55 points 9 months ago (3 children)

    Well to be fair, there's not just neurodivergent people in the Fediverse.

    There's also a bunch of queer people. And furries.

    Also neurodivergent queer people, neurodivergent furries, queer furries, and neurodivergent queer furries. Duh.

    also, there's no karma system and no karma farming

    Broccoli on pizza is nice. Just parboil it first so it doesn't burn. It gets a really nice warm, slightly earthy taste when baked on pizza.

    You do you and I'm glad you enjoy it, but I'm too autistic to let broccoli anywhere near my pizza.

    "Oh, but it's healthy and good for you and you gotta try more things in life an-"

    I.

    DON'T.

    CARE.

    It's a very specific subset of neurodivergents, tbh. I don't see much discussion around typically geeky topics. On Reddit, if I had a fleeting thought or question about a fictional world, I had /r/asksciencefiction. On the fediverse? No such board. The answer to that is "Oh just create it", but I don't have the time or the attention span to moderate such a place.

    TBH this disappeared on Reddit too. All my preferred fandom subs are now cesspools, with zero depth in fandom knowledge yet weird, cultish worshipping of the material. Bigger general subs feel like bot farms.

    Piefed's /c/television is 1000x better.

    But the best places on the internet for that are probably the TVTropes forums, SpaceBattles, and other "surviving" fiction boards.

    When it comes to "traditionally geeky topics" I might have been looking for that stuff at most other points of my life. And if somebody gets into some dorky lore discussion on here today I might participate.

    But for me, and I would wager it's the same with MANY people on Lemmy, the last decade has made me very much not interested in filling my social interactions with banter about which billion-dollar global brands are the most dank.

    As an example, I am still very interested in technology that I can learn about and do things with. I am very much not interested in products from tech companies.

    Or in another area, I still have a soft spot for old Star Wars and especially Lucasarts games like TIE Figther and X-Wing Alliance. I will always keep my old copies of those and probably play them every several years. But I don't even know what Star Wars content is in development right now.

    Not really. It’s simply more authentic than Reddit. And, no ads.

    Yeah, and then the corpos created platforms to bring the non-neurodivergent people to the internet.
