@Flaky yeah people tend to get mad about the content warnings on here because some dork yelled at them for not CWing food but this is by far the best system that I've seen on any social network (barring cohost also having an 18+ flag) because it fundamentally understands that people usually just want to opt in to certain kinds of posts and its freeform nature means that you can just warn for anything and not have to wait for the system to allow you to do that

@Flaky bluesky is especially awful about people not tagging stuff, I'd probably attribute it to trauma over twitter's stupid algorithm but it's the single thing that has made me the most uncomfortable on there so far. also you'd really be surprised, I've found a lot of people on here in addition to bluesky and tumblr that will defend their rights to share loli/shota/cub porn and call you a puritan/puriteen/anti for it. especially on tumblr I have no idea what's going on there
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
I'm all for people being more accepting of it but furries have a huge problem with compulsory sexuality/kink and as someone who is very asexual it makes me feel excluded from the community and very uncomfortable. I don't think there are any truly sfw spaces that I've found. I got sent scolipede tf twice without asking just because it's my favorite pokemon and I was already worried that I'd get labeled Freaky for it beforehand.
also people are normalizing incest and intimate relationships with minors to a very worrying degree and anyone who pushes back on this gets labeled a puritan

things happening. not out of the weeds yet and I still have a major dilemma on my hands but it isn't Literally The Worst Thing Ever now
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
yeah I'm sorry for being overly negative lately. I've been dealing with multiple personal 9/11s at the same time and I've been unable to cope at all

so my options are to either somehow move into the city where public transit actually exists even if it's inefficient or to stay here but have to uber everywhere and get everything delivered
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
ok so I'm evaluating my options. I'd have to deal with the traffic citation that I got and see if I can maybe negotiate my insurance settlement amount higher but the truth is that I'm not going to be able to afford getting a replacement car

forcing myself to take a break; I need to learn how to regulate my own emotions instead of asking other people to solve it for me

@chirpbirb lost the game
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
I'm honestly really tired. I've been carrying a lot of responsibilities on my back with no support and got subjected to so much peer pressure that I'm both mad at and scared of everyone now. I need help

@zzt thinking about how an entire instance shut down over this just because the admin got tired of it
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
the woke left? where did they go
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
would y'all be accommodating and understanding if I said that I have CPTSD. because I think I might have it

@ancient_catbus of course bluesky lets you pick and choose what moderators you want to use but considering that they have to deal with Literally Everything on there nobody's really stepped up to my knowledge lol

@ancient_catbus one of the unsung positives of mastodon/the fediverse as it stands now is that even if there are some bad ones (hi mastodon.art), if you find a site with good moderators they're usually really good at it
eblu @eblu@wetdry.world
[looks things up] ok yeah it's cptsd isn't it

I didn't realize how far nickelodeon has fallen until I checked what their schedule looks like now. it's literally just paw patrol and spongebob and maybe a movie or two if they feel like it
