You gotta go where you think you'll fit in. change your name! get a new profile pic! make 10 accounts! who cares! nobody cares, and that's a good thing! It means you can be whoever you want! wherever you want! in whatever place you want! Do you have a catgirl persona? great! go mewl with the catgirls and wink at the catboys. Do you have an artistic side? great! Mastodon is your new gallery. Do you like politics? there's places out there for you! Where you don't even need to CW your posts! (But you probably should so that external people can boost you) Do you want a 500 person large dating pool for people in an area who want to chill out and have sex? Great there's a place for you! No place? MAKE THE PLACE! Be your own administrator! Carve your mark in the world and say "this is who and how I wanted to be in this 21st century!" History demands it! History demands that we rellish their sacrifices! Celebrate, for their sake! ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┘ --- #3 fediverse/3990 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── I like it when software gives you a notification when one of your friends changes their name / profile pic.

And if someone's mind is being changed, or if someone is attempting to change someone else's mind, then there must always be a changer and a changee. So it's okay to be the changee sometimes! In fact, that's my default state. I only change someone else's mind if they're wrong and hurting others.
