Going against that last part and diving into what’s really on your brain is what I’m saying sets these platforms apart. Aside from the typical bigotry spewing characters that come with it.
i spose. ive had some great conversations with people in random forums across the internet for 30 years.. the platform seems almost irrelevant in my memory, but posts are sticky. everyone knows those things can be hard to remove. i dont think the fediverse will change that.
another option for more easily anonymous, ephemeral, say-anything kinda of environment.. check IRC. ticks a lot of those boxes
True, IRC probably birthed most of my feelings in this regard. Formed a tight knit community and learned a lot of personal stuff on there as well though.
