Think the main difference between the two platforms is that on Twitter when you make a joke you get one haha and two death threats, whereas on here you get one haha and someone earnestly explaining the 6th century origins of the specific road that particular chicken crossed. Yet to decide which is more distressing.
@Ciaraioch@mastodon.ieThe amount of people replying to explain that death threats are actually more of an issue than people sharing history facts is 1. the point of the joke and 2. going to make me smother my phone with a pillow
*gently holding the faces of people on Mastodon who take every joke or light-hearted comment extremely literally or personally* why are you like this. why can't we have fun.
@Ciaraioch is BREÁ liom do jócanna agus spraoi le focal, ar pé ardán! Lean ort!!
@Ciaraioch I sought out shit posters. That’s how I found you.
Word of caution.
If you squeeze the sides of the face too hard, it makes the lips pooch out in an unflattering way.
@Ciaraioch some of the shitposting on twitter is really funny, and yet to see whether it's even going to be a thing here.
@Ciaraioch you are a true fedi treasure. Now let's see if I can stop laughing and actually catch a bit of a breath.
Please treat this as a "haha" for the purposes of keeping score.
@Ciaraioch but... it is fun.. isn't it?
@Ciaraioch "mautistodon, amirite?"
@Ciaraioch I just assume everyone is joking. You were joking? Right??
Some of the folks here have an.... unusual idea of what is fun.
You'd best be careful. Wander off into the wrong instance and you're likely to wake up with a solid understanding of the etymology of the word "butter".
@Ciaraioch It had crossed my mind when I joined Mastodon that I felt that I would be less shitposty here for some reason. Thank you for reminding me to stay true to my roots.
@Ciaraioch The terminally offended are making their way to Masto. Won't last, as it's "all too confusing" etc.
@Ciaraioch I think it's autism
I, for one, appreciate and enjoy your light-hearted humor, that amuses me in its, how do I put it, community self-deprecation. I loved your parody "explanation" of the fediverse. thanks, and keep it up!
The biggest problem with autistic people here isn't that they're autistic but that they lack self-control and thus tend to pick fights where it could have been avoidel and then make themselves and everyone else disappointed. Noone is watching over them, noone trains them on how to have a civil dialogue with people. And not like they seem to learn or even bother to learn on their mistakes, they're bound to forever repeat the same mistakes, making the place less enjoyable for everyone. They take the position that everyone should be considerate of them while never being considerate of others, thus being a chore to deal with. How are we going to have enjoyable conversations when one side has lots of obligations to fulfill while the other has none? It's just not fun.
@Ciaraioch
Autistic people may think that they are the ones who are hated and misunderstood but in my experience it is me who is often hated and misunderstood, and AFAIK I'm not even autistic. So is it the neurotypicals who are hating on autists or the autists who are hating on neurotypicals? It's both. It goes both ways, not just in one direction.
@Ciaraioch
I'm thinking: many people who spend a lot of time online may not even talk to people IRL at all. So I'm not sure how they're supposed to develop practical social skills while sitting at home, talking on a microblogging site of all places (not even forums or imageboards) and watching anime. Even if they're neurotypical, it doesn't matter, if one doesn't have praxis they'll be just as socially maladopted.

Stallman, while being a nerdy person, goes to conferences, talks to people, has some fun outside. And these nerds don’t even try. They don’t even want it. They don’t even care to bother to even put some tiny effort into this. I’m pretty sure you also visit conferences and talk to people often, Mr. Oliva. That’s what I call being motivated. These people have no motivation.
@Ciaraioch
@Ciaraioch your humour is delicious - keep it coming - it rhymes nicely with our Kiwi humour. Like the Irish and Scottish, we have a irreverent, anti authoritarian brand of piss taking humour. I recall being impressed when an Aberdeen jazz musician toured down under and opened the gig with this; ‘we’re from Aberdeen, but your sheep are safe with us’
@Ciaraioch That poor phone.
@Ciaraioch bhí chuntas Twit a bhí agam glasailte go deo toisc gur úsáid mé 'bagairt díobhal' leis na focail May you be dead an hour before the devil knows you're dead. Rinne mé achomharc agus chaill mé agus tá an cuntas dúnta ó shin.
@Ciaraioch oh no! so I guess this means that reply guys didn’t die with twitter. Fab I love having people explain and workshop my jokes in the comments. Just love it.
@Ciaraioch RIP phone ? - 2022.
@Ciaraioch Just love this… I had to turn off (block) a condescendingly nice guy…
I just couldn’t handle it!
