knowing when not to open the comments is a skill

[hollowboobtheory]

internet soft skills

not opening the comments

letting people be wrong

letting people be wrong about YOU

letting people have a bad impression of you (see above)

knowing when your input isn't needed

spotting bot comments

block button

[hollowboobtheory]

blocking tip: you don't have to wait to have a negative interaction with someone to block them. you can block them without ever interacting with them. I can't tell you how many times I've seen someone being rude to someone else and preemptively blocked them

[bigbigbigtruck]

"why'd they block me? we've never talked" bro if i see you being nasty to the bartender i'm not gonna chat you up

Darunia (Commission for Mevnie)

[surrealember]

don't open youtube comments under popular videos

don't look at tumblr comments or reblogs under popular posts

don't look at twitter period, but if you have to, don't look at the "for you" tab or comments under popular posts

don't open reddit to read popular posts, only use it for niche community info

block freely (bluesky even has blocklists! use them!)

frankly you should use social media less in general

you gain nothing from engaging with inflammatory rants of bigoted people

you gain nothing from listening to people who tell you to abandon any hope or desire to change anything

you gain nothing from hearing about petty internet drama in niche communities which are irrelevant to your interests

doomscrolling is not equivalent to staying informed

To honor me finally making a pixel art palette after a 2 year hiatus, I've decided to compile all of my palettes and put them together into an Aseprite extension!

happy tdov to people who don't pass or have no interest in passing, who can't pass because there is no culturally recognised category for the way they want to be recognised, who flip flop and fuck around, who can't hide their transness and have to plan their everyday around being visible, who can't signal their transness and have to come out over and over because the default presumption is intolerable, who don't have the resources yet or the knowhow or the willpower to change what they want to change, whose transness is warped by a hegemonic image of ideal transness that is almost as difficult to escape as the hegemonic image of cisness, who don't have a justification prepared for the assertion that they are trans but can no longer justify the assertion that they are not, who have a million justifications that are all surplus to the fundamental requirement (that society mandated one articulation of you and you chose another), et cetera and so forth across the world and universe forever. your version is right. don't concede.

[surrealember]

maybe sending an ask right after waking up without actually sitting down to double check everything was a mistake. couldn't be me tho. ⚰️

minors respect the creator's wishes and not publicly engage with 18+ content challenge: level impossible

[surrealember]

i decided that i'll just put a warning that the game is 18+ in the body of the post when i post (sfw) fanart. anything beyond that is not my responsibility 👍
