  • It’s really not that hard. I gave my ex my Mastodon url and he signed up so he could follow me. He didn’t even know what Mastodon or the Fediverse is.

    It only gets complicated when federation gets janky, eg on my Mastodon.social account I can see so many more posts that I can on my main instance. In fact, I sometimes can’t even see some of my own .social posts unless I login via that account on tusky, then open as my main account. Even though the instances are federated. I have the same issue here with this account and my alt feddit.uk account. I can see comments/communities on one instance that I can’t see on another.





  • That’s what I meant and I tried to make it clear in my comment. I’m talking about car-brains rather than people who are forced to drive because better infrastructure isn’t there.

    But in places like here in London, most places are accessible by public transport or cycling. Most cars that go by as I wait at the bus stop have just the driver in them.

    Having said that, the biggest problem I have with public transport is unfortunately the public. I’ve been touched inappropriately by creepy men on the bus and tube. Drug addicts, drunks, people with mental health issues can also be scary to share a bus with. That’s down to mental health and social services in this country being terrible. So I do get why women especially might be put off using the bus.

    I’m put off cycling because of the amount of morons riding the wrong way in the cycle lane, or those awful illegal modded throttle bikes that are really unregistered mopeds. Or pedestrians just being dozy or even entitled and deliberately walking on the cycle lane. Ironically, I feel safer riding on the main roads than on cycle lanes.


  • 100% agree. That Kirk quote about the occasional gun death being acceptable applies to people who are pro-cars.

    They’re okay with kids getting run over if it means they get to keep driving.

    Note: I’m not talking about people in areas where cars are necessary just to get around because public transport is non existent and I know a lot of the US is built around cars. But in places like London where public transport is good and you choose to still drive, then yeah, tacitly you’re saying car deaths are acceptable for your right to continue to drive. And I don’t think car deaths are acceptable.


  • Autism, schizoid and Complex PTSD have a lot of overlap. Growing up undiagnosed autistic in an unsupportive environment can lead to CPTSD. Schizoid can also be thought of as a flavour of CPTSD that occurs if you’re predisposed via genetics. I think there’s still so much to learn. None by themself explain me, but all three together do. CPTSD is often co-occurring in late diagnosed autists.
