  • Did you ever have a “maybe I’m bi” phase?

    I’m asking because an Asexual youtuber stated they thought they had an equal attraction to men and women, before realizing that they did like the equally… at 0 attraction.

    I know this sounds crazy, but i did kiss and makeout my same-sex female friends at a sleepover when we were 8-9 years old because we wanted to “practice” (y’all, don’t let kids have unrestricted/unmonitored internet 😭), but I never thought of them in a girlfriend/date way. I thought I liked a close girl friend in middle school, but once I got to high school I realized I’ve never had butterflies, wet dreams, or any desire to kiss any boys or girls that I met.

    At this point, I think I’m asexual (or maybe demi). I know that graysexuals can still have some sexual attraction or like having sex, so I don’t feel any doubt/imposter syndrome for reading smut (hey, some aces write smut).

    Anyway to add to the overall thread I’ve been questioning since 10 or so, and going with Ace since 16 or so.



  • I mean, Bluesky is essentially a Twitter replacement, so it’s not like many people are going to be on there for tech/FOSS news. Every user on Mastodon knows what the Fediverse is, which means they’re disproportionately more likely to care about FOSS and tech, therefore they’re gonna spread the word more. Especially since most Fediverse users know the negatives of being on centralized social media, so they won’t make a Bluesky account because they have a Fediverse account that will never be stuck on a enshittified platform. Therefore all the tech nerds are here instead of Bluesky anyway.

    We have tech nerds. We don’t have celebrities and “hit tweets”/jokes/memes that are getting screenshotted and dispersed to millions. Which is both a positive, but also a negative. Fediverse could do with more silly “hit tweets” (toots? posts.) that encourage people to join. I just want fanartists personally
