@sungo @Elizafox It made me a depressed person that had to think through mud. I was like a zombie that was "Braaaa...fuck it."

@dredmorbius Not really. People actually read THOSE. (I mean the books, not the manpages).

@natecull I'm thinking of using it in education. I'm not that tech-savvy myself, so I would need to get help from someone at the ICT-department of my school.

@andyAstruc Not so good for good coworker relations.

@sungo @Elizafox GAWD! I have had SO many bad diagnoses of bipolar! The lithium was flat out hell.

@andyAstruc Holy crap? 607 toots? And I don't even feel bloated!

@akr I will agree to disagree. It's got the whole delocalized aspect, but it is so much more responsive than FidoNet (I used to run a WWIV FidoNet node). Trying to do my part to bring the quirk while still saying something meaningful.

@Elizafox @sungo And all the voices I hear in my head from my prolonged isolation is you all!

@dredmorbius Trying to stick with my "do no harm" credo and occasionally forgetting the downsides of non-local communications.

@Elizafox @sungo Nice. Some people that know me refer to me as a digital hermit.

@Samizdata @sungo I'm glad to say I'm feeling like a new person since about last week. I'm starting to feel better. I'm feeling motivated and more inclined to engage with others. Which is a good thing! I was socially isolating myself for too long.

@Orwellia Sleep well, dream hard, and awaken refreshed for another day.

@dredmorbius @Orwellia I was seeing you as being the Mastodon hacker, and A Pair of Green Pants being the really lovely person, as they keep being nice to everyone.

Finally realized what Mastodon makes me think off. Remember in all those cheesy 80's/90''s books and Shadowrun novels how the hackers had their own secret online hangouts normal people couldn't get to?

@Elizafox @sungo I have been known to joke "I have bad days and not so bad days" (but only on my not so bad days)

@danyork I am glad SOMEONE likes Markdown. (remembers old MovableType days).

@sungo @Elizafox Need to do like me and work at a mental health non-profit. Amazing how forgiving they can be as long as you don't outright attack someone.

@thatbrickster It's a weird feeling for me being conflicted between sources of fun.

@samizdata I wouldn't blame you seeing as I get that feeling when I'm at work.

@NinahMarie Oh, aye. It sucks. Especially when no one else in your familial circle has it. I mean, really, I get a mutation and my special power is insomnia? REALLY??

(Like I said to someone earlier, welcome to the Samizverse!)
