@BipolarArtist yes! love that :)
@evistre @BipolarArtist
when someone is forced to be in a 'survival' mode from all the negativity, it's hard to just flip a switch and let the defenses down. And use the scroll wheel a lot😅
@BipolarArtist @evistre
oh yeah. This influx would be a great social experiment for someone. I was a wallflower on twitter. When I joined here in 2017 I was a wallflower.
I guess I don't crave social media like a lot of people do. Nothing against anyone for that, I get lost in my games..lol
@BipolarArtist @evistre
I was mainly referring to the influx of new nauts who still have the antisocial media syndrome (bird, fb etc)
It'll settle down. The reward systems are very different here, and behavior will change accordingly.
@misterfive @BipolarArtist @evistre
exactly. and that's why we're still special
it takes some practice! there's a reason one of my pinned toots says coso encouraged me to be kind.
of all the impacts to have on a person... increased kindness is a pretty good one for social media. :)
@BipolarArtist And right you are !
@BipolarArtist Understand. Same. Breath.
@BipolarArtist
We have been defensive since 2015. Time to look forward.
@BeKinder onward and upward!
@BipolarArtist I've kind of been mass blocking people who just came here to talk about the bird and such because I really wanted a fresh start here and don't need all that negativity flooding in. I get that everyone has their trauma ... a lot of us are here for the same reason. There's no need to bring all of it with you.
