believe in yourself and what you stand for. express it even if it is messy. the world is stacked against you and full of cultures driven by systems made to make you feel flustered and shut you up.

we won't get better at it if we keep bottling it up in fear

if you post the link again here but without the self deprecating, and instead quote something from your post, you can repost it on main here as well!

"A massive failure of the fedi is that even though we have the ability to build whatever we want, devs keep replicating awful tooling to emulate whatever centralized service. So we’re just going around in circles."

Here’s the thing. Tooling on social media has *never* been good. On every platform we’ve used, people have had to fill in the gaps because most of them have been shit. A massive failure of the fedi is...

it's simple. i don't want shit to be this hard. it shouldn't be this hard. it doesn't have to be.

we have nothing further to share for now

Selphie Habasa 🌹 @selphie.rosemade.art · 5d

people will write us off as naive, and maybe we are. we'll still try anyway.

we aren't happy with the state of fedi and the general experience of using it. we understand there are other efforts like the one we are about to embark on. we've simply been holding onto a vision for a while that we finally think is worth exploring.

you can roll your eyes all you want at this, it's just another instance sure. but if you knew us you would know we wouldn't simply stop at throwing on an instance on a server and federating it. but it takes a lot to earn people's trust, especially that of non technical users and devs.

saw my headmates had talked with someone about my ideas for building a space on fedi for the digifu / adjacent community that i abandoned a while ago and it's given me a hit of new inspiration.

yeah i know it's tiring to hear about "leaving bc tired of social media posts" 🤷🏻‍♀️

Selphie Habasa 🌹 @selphie.rosemade.art · 6d

as well as more internal system discussion.

and i suppose if we do get full time work again it'd be better to spend less time on here

Selphie Habasa 🌹 @selphie.rosemade.art · 6d

we have been discussing amongst the roses abt going back to being completely read only on social media beyond occasionally promoting stuff on main because it's just plain unpleasant & uninviting to interact on here. and we should invest more in direct friends communication / discord communities etc,

yeah i feel that. it's nice when someone shows curiosity like that. sadly that seems like a thing that's just dwindling away more and more, and it's not like you can just ask people to do it lol. but! at least we can be curious and ask questions about *them* i do enjoy that

Selphie Habasa 🌹 @selphie.rosemade.art · 12d

yeah, it doesn't quite hit as well online. esp when everyone else is on another time zone eh
