Hi Fedi 👋
I'm Jenl, a Scandi tomte who will clean you data and fav your toots.
I'm not very comfortable expressing myself online, best way I can explain it is "social imposter syndrome". I love reading all your sincere, politics and educational posts, but will usually not participate in anything except light jokes or game talk.
I also like design & discussion of game mechanics. If you're designing a boardgame and want early drafts feedback, feel free to DM!

Thanks for the reaponses! (Something's going on with my client rn, it crashes when I try to reply to any response to this toot, ah well...)

What's the underlying deal with the pleroma
v mastodon+etc thing?
Some people seem to equate "pleroma instance" with "probably problematic" (I'm simplifying, but ykwim). F ex, I saw someone complain they wanted to run pleroma for technical reasons, but avoided it because of the associations.
Are there implementation details which promote a certain kind of culture, are there historical reasons why certain communities tend to use certain AP techs, or is this all an old joke I don't get?
More Toy story 4 musings
Watching it left me in a weird mood. There's something disturbing about how it idealises (fetishises?) children playing with 1950-1990s factory toys (beyond the expected idealisation of white US suburbia). At the same time I can't deny the attraction of a world where a spork with pipe cleaner arms is all a kid needs to feel safe.
Is it actually problematic or am I being unnecessarily cynical?
And is this "family" movie particularly aimed at the "nostalgic parents" part of the family?
Alc, mh+
A few months ago, at spouse's suggestion, I cut alcohol (from 3-5 units/week to almost nothing) and limited my coffe intake to 2 cups/day.
Net effect: significantly better at handling my general anxiety, responding to unexpected events and relaxing when off the clock. It's obviously not a *cure* for anything, but as an attainable marked improvement, I'll take it.

It’s almost like “personal carbon footprint” is a mcguffin invented by petrochemical companies to shift blame away from systemic problems!

ukpol crimes against the disabled, text of tweet by boris johnson, extremely negative
boris johnson tweets: "On #IDPWD2020, I pay tribute to the extraordinary contribution people living with disabilities make to this country. Next year we will publish the most ambitious disability plan in a generation - so there are no barriers to anyone realising their full potential." this fucking terrifies me
