@MastodonEngineering I answered the survey, but just to give my thoughts on the matter:

  • The thing that matters most to me on deciding who to follow is if their posts align with my interests. Their bio is also a pretty good indicator of this.
  • Having recommendations from people that I follow is a really cool idea that I'm surprised that nobody has really done yet, I'd love to see this get implemented!
  • I agree that the UX on this survey is a bit of a mess but I understand that this is just Tally's fault and probably works a lot better on a device with more display space.
  • Please don't get discouraged by the hecklers in the audience. Being very strict on ideology without any room to compromise for usability often leads to very confusing/broken products.

honestly I'm just burnt out as hell. I got ostracized for being Wrong multiple times and ever since then I've been panicking and stumbling over myself just to try and not be wrong and now I'm tired and afraid of talking to people. I need a lot of rest and to be accepted and other nice things

I know I probably look crazy for posting that last thing on main but I'm tired of struggling with this kind of discourse privately. I need to blow the lid right off of that one and ask for help because I just want to do the right thing here

like oh my god. I'm trying to be accepting and tolerant of people and listen to their concerns. but I'm constantly being bombarded by intensely mixed messages and people convincing me to come over to their side and I'm just tired. I just want answers

I talk about sexual abuse and kink in this post

ok can I be real. I'm coming from a (thankfully distant at this point) right wing background and I'm trying to be a better person about it but I have been thrown every single possible take about "incest and pedophilia as a kink and not actually doing that is okay/bad" and I am just really confused and sick of it. like if I knew what the hell all this is coming from then I'd have a better position but my brain has been so unfathomably melted by trying to meet people where they are that I'm just stuck in some crazy spiral trying not to shame people
