@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org why do you avoid to bring people here?

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org I too avoid bringing in people, the one I know would compare everything to Twitter or Facebook and ask me directly to have this and that.

From what I follow most is tech related and I’ll have to deal with the aftermath of anyone I know getting interested in something they can’t handle by themselves… 🫣

Also, 99.999% of all the people I know can’t speak or even recognize the words here as English. 🙃

I don’t want to bring people here, at least those I know in real life, because I try to separate my real identity from my online identity.

This will change when the network grows bigger and there’s a larger anonymity set, for lack of a better term.

Like @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org said, this is an extremely selfish reason, but it is my reason.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org Idiots: Makes sense. Thanks for hopefully not counting me to them ;-)
Friends: Yes, that is another problem. Every so often I fell really lonely when I talk about IRC, chats, alternative communication, matrix etc. Even colleagues at work look at me like I am an Alien. Especially when I say I do not use Facebook, WhatsApp or any google product (at least not on purpose)

Amount of messages: True. Kind of work related I follow numerous things related to Ukraine. Not nice sometimes. And there is a lot going on. Hard to keep up, yes.

@lyse@lyse.isobeef.org me too. I am the one who is having crazy opinions and thoughts about things.
