I've seen some people getting genuinely uncomfortable at the recent discourse. Just wanted to point out there's more than one kind of weird.

That entirely depends on YOU

All I can say is I'm not a bad person (I'd like to think)

I think I inspired this and I am thrilled.

I've heard it a few times recently, then saw something posted in i think the autism instance? Dunno, not sure which it was, but this popped into my head and thought it illustrated it neatly.

Unrelated but I just wanted to say thanks for giving me the word ‘instance’. Been struggling to find a word besides ‘subreddit’ 😖

I’m a fucking idiot: community is not a hard word lmao

[–] ChronosTriggerWarning@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I, too, am an idiot. Community never crossed my mind.

Community and Instance actually have a hard meaning here. Communities are the equivalent of subreddits, while instances are the equivalent of reddits. Reddit only had the one instance of course.

I wonder if mastodon has communities. Or is there a more twitter thing they do?

[–] Crikeste@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I think mastodon is more akin to Twitter, but I can’t really say as I haven’t used it. Thanks for that clarification though, it is a pretty important distinction.

There are those who sing “I’m a creep, I’m a weirdo,” and those who claim to be “the opposite of weird.”

Boo Radley weird vs Bob Ewell weird

[–] jerkface@lemmy.ca -4 points 11 months ago (2 children)

No. There is not a distinction. We've been working for decades to make weird okay. Fuck them for throwing us under the bus.

If you're a grown adult who isn't getting offended by tampons or solar and aren't absolutely obsessed with other people's sexuality preferences, then Id say you're in the clear.

As long as you're not bragging about how great your daughter would be to sleep with.

I think there is disgusting/cringe weird and then there are people who are simply different.

People who aren't trying to follow the standard template are awesome because they're rare and they have unique experiences to add.

These guys however are all trying to follow a template, and went everyone else to follow it. And they're trying so hard in a way that is so illogical it's ridiculous because they want to be "alphas"
