<p>Oh man my parents picked me up from the airport playing the Taylor Swift Christmas album. They are being so sweet so I can’t even tell them none of us claim this. Like it’s so precious and nice of them to try but man, no one wants that!</p>

(Though my lord, try starring a post without viewing it from the right place, wow. I know how to do it; it&#39;s just not worth the bother.) But when a server you care about thinks mastodon.social is not full of good people, but that&#39;s where you&#39;ve made your home, you&#39;re…kinda&#39; screwed. •</p>

Early on I really did work to understand all this stuff, good nerd that I am. And then I realized I was just getting nerdsniped, and I mean that in the pejorative sense. I don&#39;t want to know, I don&#39;t want to care! I&#39;m perfectly capable — but I *want* to be obtuse!</p>

In response I&#39;d say:</p><p>- Once upon a time I did, I&#39;ve just paged it all out.<br />- I just don&#39;t care. The minutiae of how servers peer with each other are relevant, but I want them to be irrelevant. Things that make them relevant are active obstacles to my goal.<br />↵</p>

Everyone on the thread I think just assumed I was on the server, and I had no idea the discussion was even taking place. ↵</p>

None of it shows up on my feed by default, so unless I follow a person I don&#39;t even know it&#39;s taking place. Plus one of the ones I care about has some issue w/ mastodon.social and so doesn&#39;t automatically peer with it or whatever, so there&#39;s added friction in seeing content. ↵</p>
