@smallcircles Mine's gotten a bit *too* busy...so I've started muting the folks who never add alt text

[pattykimura@beige.party]

@smallcircles A strange fascinating party with lots of different pods with wildly different conversations or lectures or readings or music or gallery shows or cooking or comedies or what have you all going on, and everyone welcomes you in.

[cubeofcheese@mstdn.social]

@smallcircles agora. It's not where everyone is at, but it is concentrated and focused and where important discussion is happening

[oohokaykay@beige.party]

@smallcircles
A cozy village that has a too many idiots sometimes. But at least they're funny idiots.

[netraven@hear-me.social]

@smallcircles once you block mastodon.social, it's much better. Too many mental children who don't understand conversation and communication. Too many people still trying to pretend this is Twitter and trying to become "popular" by posting divisive, misleading, or completely fabricated information.

@smallcircles My social bubble. It's cozy village + my interests + a few foreign eccentrics.

[simon@gotosocial.grnwds.uk]

@smallcircles
Really odd party.

[oohokaykay@beige.party]

@OhMrBill @smallcircles

FOUND ONE!!

@darby3 in a good way, though? In an extracting-myself-from-the-ratrace casual walk kinda way perhaps?

[lkdc@dmv.community]

@smallcircles I experience it as a village that I can see is cozy for the people who truly belong in it, i.e., tech nerds with comfortable bank balances. For me, it's a nice place to visit, but it's slightly uncomfortable because many people just assume that everyone has the same access to tech and money. Too often, advice is given that would be helpful only to people who have high-speed internet, lots of gadgets, and disposable income.

[iced_spiders@mastodon.online]

@smallcircles More like a train station or airport. I'm passing through and see many other people I wouldn't otherwise. Some people spend much more time here than others and it shows.

@smallcircles

Pedestrian zoned street with a bunch of cafes, in the downtown area of a polluted city.

[potterybyosa@mastodon.social]

@smallcircles digital subculture for nerds, weirdos and other misfits.

[fskornia@glammr.us]

@smallcircles I see it as a busy city with cozy neighborhoods.
I generally live in my home feed, so I'm really only seeing and interacting with what I aim to follow and the various communities there.
Occasionally I'll look at the public timeline and see all the bustle and activity but will find something new to follow, like going downtown and finding a new restaurant or hangout spot.

[iwein@mas.to]

@smallcircles underground rave

[ernstdemoor@mstdn.social]

@smallcircles great source for news and regulations

[smallcircles@social.coop]

@glc

A refuge from hectic life then? An quiet oasis to escape the surrounding social media traffic and unwind a bit?

[smallcircles@social.coop]

@iwein ha, I like that, thanks.
