the tragic part about micro-communities is that sometimes i'll see a post where some poor sap is getting fed up over smthing like "why is nonbinary always woman-lite" or "stop assuming all asexual people are sex-repulsed", meanwhile i'm over in my separate bubble always having the exact opposite problem

oh to trade places, but for a moment

#9 speaks #The Algorithm (TM) makes people way too confident that the way they experience the internet is an accurate depiction of reality #i've gotten pretty good recently at just. unfollowing people if it feels like they're flooding my dash with chronically online takes #(ironic coming from me. i know. but i dump a lot of my stuff into sideblogs so i do try to save y'all from my nonsense)#but yeah it's still funny to see a passing post in my 'for you' complaining about some shit that is completely outside of my circle #probably the most bizarre one recently has been that 'tiktokification of music' thing #my current music taste is 1) music that predates tiktok 2) soundtracks 3) music i found while down a youtube rabbithole that has <1k likes #so i have been completely immune to this 'trend'#i don't even know what kind of music you have to listen to in order to experience this apparently overbearing phenomenon #like i'm sure it's really annoying for people who are In It but i don't even know where It is
