=== ANCHOR POEM === ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────── sometimes I like chatting online more than in person because online you can have like, 3 different conversations going at once meanwhile in person you get body language, and the benefit of activities and shared experiences. They're both useful for different things. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────┘ === SIMILARITY RANKED === --- #1 messages/1388 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─ I spend time on Reddit because it feels like a conversation.

Or if I could position things strangely, like two functions side-by-side with boxes drawn around them. Or diagrams or flowcharts or graphs or... something that would output to raw txt format, but would present itself as an image that could be edited. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #4 messages/108 --- ═════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────── I like when people make fun of me because it gives me a chance to defend myself. Simultaneously I don't like when people are mean to me. I like when people find me endearing, and point out the ways that I'm different. It gives me a chance to say "oh yes this is why I do that" which feels cathartic (because it validates my position) but also because it gives me the opportunity to improve it (through debate) and it helps the people who learned from me because I can improve myself and my only reason for improving myself is if the new thing I'm learning is better than the thing I used to do which means the people who learn from me are improved and the people who best me argumentatively are improving me. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧══════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #5 messages/664 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── Part of the reason I like Reddit is because you can have multiple different conversations about the same topic at once. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────┘ --- #6 fediverse/1362 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────────────────── @user-192 it suddenly became relevant in your life for a different reason and you wanted to share it again to see if anyone wanted to talk about it so you could explain your feelings and see perspective from someone who's maybe approaching the same or similar thing from a slightly different angle? ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────────────────────┘ --- #7 fediverse/169 --- ══════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────────────────── @user-95 one of the most empathetic people I ever met on VR chat was consoling me with their mic off while I was oversharing about some stupid things people did to me in the past. things that stupid me thought were okay and actively encouraged because I was stupid. anyway when their mic was off their body language spoke for them. I'll try that next time. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═══════════════════════════════════────────────────────────────────────────┘ --- #8 fediverse/5782 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────── sometimes I post random silly [scary] things to pad out the serious things and I hope that's okay ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────┘ --- #9 messages/748 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── I personally would love to have my friend's messages saved on my computer account. it'd be like a little time-capsule of them that I could randomly scroll through or maybe display a random message they sent whenever I opened a new terminal sorta like words, only applied to a message archive. that of a friend or loved one. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┘ --- #10 fediverse/4843 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────── just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you have to do it that way again. but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ chronological │ different │ ╘═════════╧╧═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════──────────────────┘ --- #11 fediverse/4463 --- ════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────────── at this point in time you probably shouldn't be forming NEW online communities unless you're part of an OLD community that just isn't radical enough.
