SF:<a href="https://beige.party/@CoachMark" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@CoachMark</a> I met a <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SomethingAwful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SomethingAwful</a> goon on the job about 15 years ago. We never told each other what our online handles were but we knew we counted ourselves as "goons" and knew the right response for "do you have stairs in your house". It was fine. He was fine. He was a smart, sarcastic, computer nerd, which is what I expected. We were also both from Memphis, TN but no longer living there, so that was also neat.

J. R. DePriest :verified_trans: :donor: :Moopsy: :EA DATA. SF:Oh dang.I joined the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> one year ago today.I had a Twitter account, but never actively used it. Twitter was basically an <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/InfoSec" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#InfoSec</a> newsfeed so I just used <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/RSS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RSS</a> feeds instead. There was no interaction when I was on it. Nobody cared what a peon like me was doing. The algorithm would gladly bury me.Once Elon bought Twitter, I immediately deleted my stagnant Twitter account.That also got Mastodon in the news, so I looked into it.I'd even sent off a few emails to some instances around various <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Technology</a> and <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/LGBT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LGBT</a> things, but didn't get any replies.I found infosec.exchange and thought it might be like a LinkedIn thing where you talk about professional stuff with professional people.My original profile was very formal.What I found here was not LinkedIn or Twitter or Facebook or Instagram.This place feels like a cross between old school forums and IRC with a dash of LiveJournal. I half expect to be able to use <code>/</code> emotes or <code>bbcode</code>. I have conversations here. I make connections that matter.I can talk to folks about magick, philosophy, info sec, transgender issues, discordianism, neurodiversity, the environment, politics, horror movies, video games, writing, what books to read, TV shows, the news, sexuality. Really I can generally find people to talk about anything thanks to hashtags and federation.I know this place isn't perfect. I know it has massive racism, anti-LGBT, trolling, and spam issues that individual users can't possibly combat alone.<a href="https://infosec.exchange/@jerry" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@jerry</a> is a great admin and his team does an impressive job moderating. I give him something like $12 a month ($15 minus fees) for the privilege of using this instance and that's honestly not enough.I'm glad to be here. I haven't been this involved in any sort of interactive social media since the heyday of <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/SomethingAwful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SomethingAwful</a> (I am protected).Thanks for attending my TEDx talk.

Dan 🦺 DeboerCultural production on the internet has always been a mystery to me. Like why did <a href="https://mas.to/tags/SomethingAwful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SomethingAwful</a> or <a href="https://mas.to/tags/4Chan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#4Chan</a> produce so much before they went straight into the toilet? Same with <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reddit</a>.This makes me think that if some version of the <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Metaverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Metaverse</a> ever takes off, the most interesting implementation won't be made by <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Meta</a>. They may build the most used one, or the most profitable one, but I doubt it will be the one that produces anything interesting.
