This is my jam. A friend of mine described this as having an audience of people in your head that you’ve collected for various reasons, some positive, some toxic and poisonous. Like your best friend, or your mother, or your asshole boss that you have to deal with every day. Living in your head arguing with you and making you justify yourself, or perhaps encouraging you if it’s not a toxic audience member. The audience also changes over the years and as you change, people come and go.

Just wanted to give a heads up for the sake of moderation around here that it’s me, previously Secret-Music. Decided to try another instance. Can’t decide on a long term username yet so I’m going to park on this one for the next few months while I figure that out. I already tried lemmy.world briefly when I first got here so I thought I’d go with lemm.ee this time.

Nothing nasty yet from here but it’s definitely eye opening seeing both upvotes and downvotes again here on Lemmy.

There’s also ‘neptunic’, which sounds like what you’re describing, plus attraction to androgyny.

I’m trying a new account on a new instance, using this app for the first time too, so this seems like a suitable first comment to make. I am blown away so far and I wonder why this app is never mentioned wherever the conversation about Lemmy apps comes up.

Really just came to say, thank you for this awesome app. The multicommunities feature alone is going to change my experience of Lemmy.
