Ibis

[email protected] has been pretty quiet… I miss looking at cool setups and vicariously imagining myself using them.

Same for me. Sometimes I run into new communities and I’m itching to respond to a thread, but it’s maybe a week old and I don’t want to be told off for it.

Cute! With that spot on her chin she looks mildly shocked, like :o

Foobar just works. I use it for audiobooks as well.

More for them and less for me then. I enjoy my Subscribed + New feed and don’t bother with much else.

I used to play on (pirated) Pocket Edition on my dad’s phone as a kid, since I couldn’t convince my parents to get Java Edition.

I built an entire city in Creative mode - with a gigantic ice skating rink - and ran around showing it off to anybody that would listen. If I looked back at it these days I’d find that it leaves a lot to be desired, but my dad chucked the phone so I have no way of knowing how good/bad it is beyond my nostalgia-tinted memory.

These days I main survival, redstone, and tech mods. I miss the days when I could build whatever I wanted without my inner critic getting in the way.

Nice tweet bro

I’m also on SDF. Can confirm that while we’re still federated with exploding-heads, I never see their content in my feeds. Ever.

That duck looks like it’s revelling in the sheer destruction his kind caused

I’m a student, gonna start (undergrad) medical school this summer.

It’s so round. God I wish that were me.

Yeah, I guess it really depends. A decent chunk of my school friends have ended up emigrating or going to university halfway across the world. The Internet is neat but timezones are still fucky.

That’s impressive. How did you manage to stay in contact for so long? Hoping my friend group can stay similarly close, although I can’t say for sure. (Coming from a teenager.)

Thanks, to be fair my social circle always consisted of outcasts that banded together to begin with. I don’t think there’s much harm in keeping up with some “normal” activities so you have stuff to talk about though.

It’s worrying how many of the answers are “nobody”. Not surprising based on Lemmy’s main demographic being men in their 20s-30s, but damn.

I freshly graduated secondary school and still have a tight-knit friend group that I can lean on. Even as we drift apart, I hope I can still maintain this type of support network in the future, although I’m not too optimistic.

I get a sense of satisfaction from pushing myself and feeling more in tune with what my body is doing in space - you have to pay close attention to form, muscle exertion, etc. It’s meditative, in a way.

On the flip side, I don’t do well in team sports because I’m clumsy with bad eyesight - I have a tendency to blame myself for being a burden on my team.

You don’t have to work out solo if you don’t want to. Most sports qualify as cardio - you can do that instead of jogging. Besides, you can always strength train with buddies and hype each other up.

Glasses, I hate putting in and removing my contacts. Also hate how they feel in my eyes. Besides, I think I look better in glasses anyway. I only wear contacts whenever I’m doing sports.

For the most part I agree with you - the best I can hope for is that the fedi philosophy persists in some way, even if it’s still a little niche. I don’t even expect any of this to become 100% mainstream.

I’m on lemmy.sdf.org because it’s widely federated and run by a trustworthy organization.

I’m not much of a tech bro - in fact I struggle with troubleshooting basic Linux issues. That’s why I mostly interact outside of my local instance.

I hardly engage with the techy discussion on SDF, but I appreciate the high quality user base.
