Dumb bi guy from the cursed isles of the UK that pretends to be a bat on the internet despite what the username might suggest. I’m sorry for any loss of brain cells my posting might cause.
Think I joined and made a fursona around 2018 but I’d thought they were pretty neat ages before. I think I took the plunge since the community appeared to be very friendly as was quite LGBT positive and I was looking for somewhere to make some friends. Went to a meet at the city closest to me and then boom, here I be :D
Yeah I was pretty much a mega lurker by the time of the great migration, just using Reddit more as the most tolerable site I was willing to put up with compared to the others rather than out of love for it. Was pretty much itching for something new and better and well here I be now :p
I wouldn’t necessarily say excited myself, it feels more bittersweet. On the one hand it like sucks for folk on a personal level who might have really enjoyed being part of a certain community, or all the work people have put into moderating, posting content or their work on a third party app is just going up in smoke in a snap.
But on the other, it feels like sweet sweet delicious karma for the stupid bullshit Reddit’s leadership have done over the years and getting to see the birth of something new and better to come out of the ashes. Hopefully this place sticks around because its felt like a breath of fresh air honestly.
Awwww man not another head shot, I’ve only gotten over the headache from the last oneeeee ;w;
Clearly didn’t stand a chance with skills like that :o
Arghhhhhh nooooooo its too cool aaaaaaa! ded
Would it help if I pulled out the finger guns as a hail mary attempt to distract from the weight of my sins?
I dunno if it would actually do anything but it feels rad to do regardless :p
You may stop for now but the seed has already been planted mwhahahaha evil thunder sounds
Owh NowoH DoCtOw ItS SpwEadIng ;w;
Ahhhh I know the pain bud, I’ve struggled with that myself as well, in a better spot than I was though still a bit of derp. Felt like I was a complete snoozefest of a person and that I was pretty unlikeable, depression is a total bitch like that.
Don’t mean you’re a boring person though, like it seems you enjoy a nice mix of stuff and there ain’t no shortage of folk on here who dig things like programming, comics, etc as well on here and folk are pretty chill and welcoming from what I’ve seen so far too.
Credit where credit is due though, its a really difficult thing trying to live your life with depression hanging over you, but hey you’ve still gone and made a post and are starting on anti-depressants, these are some pretty awesome big steps even if they don’t particular feel like it right now :)
My dad joke variation of this is to say…
“I may have a drinking problem”
“I don’t know how to hold the bottle!”
Its gotten a few groans of anguish but then that seems par for the course with my humour :p
Thats a pretty nice piece of art there!
Yeah think ya got a terminal case of the pathOwOgen there bud :p
Mean to me it feels like when this gets brought up in an article, its another one of those moral panic sort of things that go “look at what the kids want to be when they grow up, society is in decline!” as if they didn’t have dreams of being a movie star or something when they were young. I wanted to be a astronaut despite my fear of going on rollercoasters lol, kids love dreaming big regardless of how actually feasible those dreams are.
And I can see why being an influencer would be appealing, getting to feel cool and popular, the perks that come with it like free stuff, having it revolve around an area they are passionate in like gaming for example. Plus considering that to those kids who might be inspired to become an influencer from following one, they’ve probably also gotten the sense that it must be one of the best jobs ever since they’ve probably only gotten to see the good, fun, positive sides of the job as thats usually the stuff that gets posted, but not so much with the bad side of it. Burning out is a fairly common problem for one, especially with a big pressure to keep pumping out content super regularly.
Personally not for me though, the idea of fame just doesn’t appeal at all to someone scared of people like me and I’m burnt out enough as is haha.
I noticed it earlier too, I chalked it up to it dealing with a big spike of traffic or something but I don’t know what was really the cause
Plus if all those furries working in tech just went poof, then the internet would probably collapse!
I’d imagine nsfw instances will show up sooner or later, mean if theres ever a more determined group of people its horny folk haha
Suppppppppppp :p
Thats true, mean if somethings just constantly giving you grief rather than any enjoyment then how much good is it really to be using it? Lifes already enough of a pain lol
Sure! There’s a general thing that people sometimes say when they struggle with alcoholism and that is that they say they have a drinking problem.
So with the joke here, rather than a drinking problem reffering to someone being an alcoholic, it is instead because they cannot hold the bottle and are thus having a problem with drinking but in a completely different way.
Hope that cleared it up a little :)
