  • I would say that here in Venezuela, the existing generations can be divided into:

    • 4th Republic/Pre-Chávez: all those who were born before 1998 and lived before Hugo Chávez's term in office.
      • They are characterized by being more conservative, as they lived in a time before the rise of the left and Chavismo and know a different Venezuela.
    • 5th Republic / Bolivarian Revolution: All those who were born and lived during Chávez's term from 1998 until his death. That is my generation.
      • Many of us are either very progressive, because our parents who voted for Chávez believed in his ideas, or very conservative for the opposite reason. We are much more politically aware than previous and subsequent generations.
    • Post-Revolution / Madurismo: Everyone who was born and grew up during the crisis that followed Chávez's death and Maduro's term in office. My nephew's generation.
      • There are no Chávez supporters here, as they did not get to experience a time when things were not so bad; austerity, scarcity, and misery are all they know. Many of them are now abroad.
    • Pandemic: all children born during the pandemic. This includes my other niece.
      • They are still too young to say what their character is like. Most are children of Venezuelans who went abroad, so their idea of what the country is like, if they are still abroad, is influenced by their parents and the media.

    (needles to say, I'm not a sociologist or anything. All this comes from pure observation)
  • Being somewhat older ≈ more mature

  • Need to eat, need to drink, need to pee, need to play, need to do, need to create, need to live.

    It's always needs.

  • I know. What I said was more aimed at focusing any efforts to promote the proliferation of fandoms in the fediverse on creating a good image of it for that purpose, rather than creating more projects that may not have the desired acceptance and reach.

  • First photo: immaturity, longing for status.

    Second photo: maturity, longing for happiness.

  • While on a technical level, the fediverse is entirely capable of something similar to Amino, and a platform could be created that replicates its functionality 1:1, I believe the main problem is one of image.

    On the outside, the fediverse is seen as an overly "nerd-centric" place, a place where "they only talk about Linux, FOSS," and "nerdy" things in general. And it's often the discussions around those topics that seem to have the most visibility around here, while the few communities about hobbies and fandoms that you can find have mostly modest to low interaction.

    The thing is, no one likes to feel like they're talking to themselves. That's why many artists and people immersed in their fandoms gravitate to places like BlueSky or Tumblr, or don't want to leave a cesspool like Twitter, even with their more hostile environments towards them: they have the perception that in those places they will have more opportunity to interact, whether that perception is unfounded or not.

    If one create a platform like Amino, for fandoms and communities, I think the technical aspects are the least important thing. One have to create an image of an environment that is attractive and enjoyable so that people who are not so interested in technology will want to join.

  • Can't use it as a mold to cast one out of actual metal?

  • Lol I was gonna comment that too!

  • That's kinda useless cuz Hello Kitty doesn't have a mouth.

  • Exactly like American Cubans

  • But... Why Miami? Why doing that to yourself? Detroit is a better option even.

  • Absolutely

  • For me, analyzing the things I like and talking about them has helped me appreciate them and enjoy them even more. I really love writing, so I got into the habit of writing about it on my Mastodon account, for no one in particular other than myself.

    However, what has changed my life for the better the most was overcoming my cringe and starting to write and publish my first fan fiction, which had been in my head for years. It has given me a sense of purpose and motivation that are uniquely mine and have helped me regain confidence in my abilities, because on the one hand, I really like what I write, and on the other, a lot of people seem to like it too!

    1. From Maduro's part. They are deeply incompetent.
    2. The Oil is a curse. It could be a blessing if people knew how to use it. Chavez thought he knew, he was wrong. The Saudi's know. They have a lot of skeletons in their closet, yet it seems like receiving their money is not big problem. Branding.

    Bukele can rule over El Salvador as he please because he is a The Gang Buster. Branding.

    Peru can have as many presidents as they like without affecting the economy cuz... well, they are all corrupt, "but least they aren't communist". Branding

    It turns out that it's not that my memory is bad, quite the contrary. It's just that I can't distinguish between memories and daydreams.

    It's funny that a song about feeling helpless and vulnerable like Can You Feel My Heart is the theme of the Gigachad, which is the epitome of male idealization.
