I’ve been shitposting and talking to other anonymous people online since 1999.

UBB anime boards

Somethingawful

4chan

Reddit

and now, I dance the babushka, for you!

And now, I find myself home to Lemmy. Just one of the thousands of Anons posting opinion, then meme, then opinion, then shitpost in the background static of the greater internet hive mind.

Arguments, rebukes, comments, discussions… discourse. It’s all necessary to me. I have to get in the fray. I have to cause the fray, in some instances. Discussion is life, passion in many instances. People care about what they care about and I both want to know why and tell why.

“Be the reason someone smiles today”. ,… and I need to gou out and touch some grass and take some more photos soon. I wanted to largely post pics of things people don’t normally see and hope they go 'cool, that’s a nice shot, might make it my wallpaper". Edit: I did get out, and saw some birds. https://lemmy.world/post/23520196

I’m a performing artist. The stuff I share promotes causes I enjoy, keeps me relevant in an ever expanding scene, and helps get the word out for local shows and events.

Also a lot of shitposting. Mostly shitposting.

“Why do people talk to other people”

Ego (in the broad, classic sense of our need to have self identity) and–increasingly–loneliness due to the husk of societal interactions many developed nations have let wither due to overwork, TV and privatization of public spaces.

Because social media will usually allow us to contact other people with similar niche interests, people that we’d be hard pressed to find IRL

For social recognition. I would not post something on the internet if I didn’t expect someone else to see it.

I find like-minded people who don’t exist locally.

I used to post on reddit only to troll shitty people Honestly, as time goes on, the less I feel the need to post anything. I realized most things on the internet are garbage.
