       I'm in my fifth year of running a fediverse instance, and I still sometimes feel that I haven't seen many of "my" people (despite having many great FediFriends)Offline, I'm friends with fire performers, stilt walkers, burlesque performers, folks who do large-scale art installations, art car designers,partiers, Burners, psychonauts, transhumanists, people who aren't afraid of the wild, the outlandish and overblownThe real "Hold on, you did WHAT now?" crowd

       Offline, my buddies not only accept, but welcome my being "a red-tinted, man-shaped hole in reality" or whatever other daft aggrandizement I'm using that dayOffline, my buddies don't bat an eye that I spent the evening spitting homemade fake blood at people; they were likely at that party, tooI need to find more of THOSE people, the folks who are both unabashedly weird and eager to go big with it

       I have an offline buddy who's been on TV multiple times, performing an act in which they place their pet tarantula in their mouth. (They are also a strong proponent of trans-cranial stimulation and, unrelated, aiming to get the biggest breast implants their frame will support)I have an offline buddy who relocated for several months to perform with Cirque du SoleilI have an offline buddy who organized one foam and two pudding wrestling parties in his backyardand I wanna know where y'all at

       @tek Yeah, and I don't even recall why I decided to give fedi a real shot(it was probably some facebook bullshit, they were going through the objectionable changes back then)

       @tek Hell, it could've been "FB has always hated human skin, but now we're working to do something about it"Bad corporate decisions move fast on the internet

       @thraeryn I'm sure it was something similar, like "THAT'S IT, I'M OUTTA HERE."
