Splendid, we have an example!

Some of the earliest studies I read about COVID was how it can enter the brain like meningitis and effect a person's cognitive functions. This was a while back and I can't vouch for the accuracy of the information, but seeing how much people have seemed to have lost their minds over the last few years makes me think back to that study.

I can't say I've been immune to it either. I have never been "symptomatic", but the last 3 years have definitely felt more hazy than the times before, and have made me question my own sanity.

I get this all the time. Too often I'll even get someone trying to pick a fight with me, but if they actually read my post they would find I agree with them. Either that or they'll bring up a point I already addressed in my post.

There's a certain point where if I feel someone's not comprehending what I'm writing, continuing the conversation is a waste of my time. Even insulting them would require literacy on their end.

What if the internet archives, instead of a single site, was a bunch of federated instances sharing content with each other like fediverse?

I am of course very ignorant to how internet archives actually works, and not very tech savy, but would something like I'm suggesting be theoretically possible?

I probably spend just as much time on lemmy/kbin as I did on Reddit. The biggest difference is most of my time then was based on consuming content and fishing for any kind of interaction and approval I could. Here I feel like I spend most of my time creating, and interacting with other users who are invested in helping the fediverse grow.

There are definitely less active moments here, but those are the times I usually try to fill in the void with my own content, give someone's community or post a boost so that they see more interaction, and engage in one of the discussions being had in the threads of more active posts.

Plus whenever I'm starved for content, I go over to new, upvote posts as I go, and I usually find something interesting.

They were, but it kinda feels like every new instance I try is a kinder egg of new errors and issues. I would also like to return to my old instance if I can.

 

A blog post I made about my experience on Kbin, what I like about it, and some of the challenges I still face in using it. Any feedback would be appreciated as someone who is still new to blogging. Thanks.

If there is one thing a pirate is good at, it's lightening other's loads!
