Just remember, people will be more open to trying the stuff you’re into if you’re compassionate about the things they’re frustrated with!

(This is intended for anyone who wants friends or acquaintances to try the fediverse platforms. For those who don’t or don’t care that’s perfectly valid too :)

What an absolutely beautiful headline

Sorry, I know getting lots of the same response can be a bit much

Hope you have a lovely day :)

Its all from one spammer who threadiverse folks regularly talk about needing to manage spam from (if I’m not mistaken about who it is. They change usernames all the time and I don’t keep up with their accounts cause I’m not an admin)

The mods appear to have dealt with the issue appropriately. For me it only shows 77 comments as the “count”, but there are like a bajillion deleted comments by the same guy

Hmmmmm ಠ.ಠ

Thats a super cool visualization! This might make a really cool post for !dataisbeautiful@lemmy.world! Maybe a screenshot with a seperate link to the site

Thanks for posting this! 😊

Thanks! It seemed like it might be fun 😊

Hope you have a lovely day!

You’re not wrong. Maybe that’d make for another fluff thread some time down the road

Rippp 😅

Fedlings is excellent! and also works for all fedi users which is kinda nice since the exact platform is kinda less important :)

You know what, piefites is a good neutral option!

If there’s a joke in saying it out loud or something my sleepy brain isn’t finding it

Hmmmmmm

This is a quite fun one

Pie peeps occurs to me as a potential option

ಠ︵ಠ

Cutie pies!! 🥹

The only downside is it might not be the most self explanatory

Magpies seems very cute, but like my other favorite so far, might not be super self explanatory

I completely forgot “lemmings” 😅😅

I’ve probably actually seen that one more, I don’t know how I forgot it lol

I’m also open to thoughts on “lemmites”! Its what I default to but I suppose it may be presumptuous for me to assume its what everyone uses, or wants to use :)

That depends a lot of what the fears are and how you do it.

It has to be exposure to the stuff you’re trying to challenge your anxiety about, and you should work up to it slowly.

A game with heights might be helpful for a phobia of heights if employed correctly, but a game with space monsters jumping out at you is unlikely to challenge social anxiety, or generalized anxiety. It has to be exposure to the thing you’re actually afraid of, not just fear itself.

Reading about exposure therapy, especially related to your particular challenges, would be a good starting point
