Can you translate into grandma for me?

Ok, that’s kinda what I thought.

Can someone please explain this in non-techie talk?

I don’t understand… is that just lemmy but not built by tankies?

I guess it’s for people like me, who have no friends?

I don’t know about that. I feel like being a big fish in a small pond puts the spotlight on you more, leading to caring a lot more about whether or not your contributions are received well. And when you don’t follow the zeitgeist of the small community lock-step, that can cause lots of anxiety and lead to more mental health problems.

Real life is worse than any horror movie, unfortunately.

It does feel like a small pond, but it’s a nice one, with smart fish.

Exactly.

Much like the old internet adage: if you want to know the answer to something, confidently state the wrong answer, and inevitably someone who knows the correct answer will chime in to correct you.

Got it. I signed up for another instance. It looks like a cool interface. I may migrate over from mastodon. Thanks for the heads-up!

Yeah… when I click the “Sign Up” button I get this:

Nope.

Yeah. It directed me to the other instances unless I had an invite code. As of now, the firefish.social site isn’t even loading in multiple browsers.

Got an invite to the main instance?
