I feel like I’ve formed some sort of faithfulness towards dbzer0 and have a bias towards subs and users of my instance. Anybody else in the same boat?

I just have biases against other servers. For example, .world users tend to act a lot like redditors which I dislike.

.ml users are more likely to tell me about the glories of communism than any other discussion. Yeah I get it, the ml stands for Marxist-Leninist, great job guys.

.dbzer0 folks are more likely to profess the greatness of FOSS solutions and discuss Linux distros, but I’d rather have that conversation over and over again because it’s usually pleasant and I learn something new every time.

… what are your biases against me? 😅

It’s interesting to see this in open discussion, as it’s something I hadn’t realized I did, but I do.

How many of us just picked the server because we wanted “popular, but not the most popular”? I imagine that attracts a type.

I’d want “bullied hexbear so hard they defederated out of shame” to be our bias if we get to choose. It’s always okay to punch bully a fascist.

Wait, they defederated from us? I thought I was noticing less of their… uh… content around.

Yup, that was me. Popular enough to stay around, not so popular it’ll get overrun by noobs coming from Reddit.

I feel like it still kinda got overwhelmed due to some instability a month or so back, but it’s been pretty good. I might go elsewhere eventually since it’s getting pretty popular (may even make my own instance), but for now, sh.itjust.works.

Honestly the sh.itjust.works instance is pretty on the level. I don’t find too many antagonistic folks on the instance and the conversations tend to be pretty varied depending on the community. I’ve seen you guys mostly around video game subs.

I picked this instance because the name wasn’t too serious and at the time, it was similarly popular as .world.

I’m really happy I chose shit because world became too popular in my opinion, and the admin here is pretty cool

I learn mostly about FOSS, Linux, and piracy through you guys. And I thought I was a pretty advanced pirate myself, but you guys are a whole other level at times.
