Furthering<p>Some background about research behind high sensitivity as well as some good info for people who have this trait.</p><p>I relate:<br>"In brief, if you want to be sure you are dealing with a highly sensitive person, watch for signs of depth of processing. For example, their ideas are usually well thought-out. If they suggest where to go for a hike, they have probably considered the time of day, the aspect of shade and sun, the wind, and the distance from other hikers, among other pertinent details."</p><p>Good advice:<br>"A fourth need is to change one’s lifestyle. In particular, HSPs need to avoid reaching debilitating levels of overstimulation. They need to plan for adequate downtime. After a lifetime of trying to be like the majority, this can require some effort and even willpower to arrange work and family life so that it is how it should be for the individual HSP, while taking into consideration their responsibilities to others. Lifestyle changes pay off for the HSP and everyone around them, allowing them to make their trait a real asset."</p><p><a href="https://aeon.co/essays/what-does-it-mean-to-be-a-highly-sensitive-person" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">aeon.co/essays/what-does-it-me</span><span class="invisible">an-to-be-a-highly-sensitive-person</span></a></p><p><a href="https://convo.casa/tags/HSP" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HSP</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Sensitive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sensitive</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/HighSensitivity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HighSensitivity</span></a> <a href="https://convo.casa/tags/Neurodivergent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Neurodivergent</span></a></p>

Jupiter's Fedi-Memes on (streams)Ever wondered why the "Facebook alternative" side of the Fediverse is easy to deploy and so lightweight in spite of its feature wealth?<br><br>[spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to eye contact, crying, anger and Japanese profanity]<a class="" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/.well-known/apgateway/did:key:z6Mkf2dhUa65zBYCNVqs3AHyt8uPixauZ7bPzEJn15LJANsd/photos/image/5bf67eea-6778-4ff1-ada4-b6103aff7b5b" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><br><br><p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p><br>This image is a collage based on various memes.<br><br>The top row makes use of <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/wojak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wojaks</a>, it basically is a <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/subcultures/wojak-comics" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wojak comic</a>. The two Wojaks on the right are <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/soy-boy-face-soyjak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soyjaks</a>, the third one from the left is essentially the same combination of a Soyjak and a <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/crying-wojak" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Crying Wojak</a> as seen in the <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/soyjaks-vs-chads" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soyjaks vs Chads</a> format. "Baka", as said by the Soyjak in the top right, is Japanese for "idiot" and hints at Misskey, as well as large parts of its target audience, being Japanese. <a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/baka" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">It has become a meme of its own</a>.<br><br>The bottom row re-uses the "<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/moth-lamp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Moth Lamp</a>" meme. This time, however, "lämp", intentionally spelled with an umlaut as per the meme, does not mean a light source. Instead, it stands for a so-called "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LAMP_(software_bundle)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">LAMP stack</a>" which is the bare minimum Web server equipment.<br><ul><li>L stands for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Linux</a> and refers not to the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_kernel" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">operating system kernel</a>, but to the whole software platform.</li><li>A stands for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apache_HTTP_Server" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apache HTTP Server</a>.</li><li>M stands for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MySQL database management system</a>, nowadays usually in the shape of the MySQL fork <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MariaDB" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">MariaDB</a>.</li><li>P, in this case, stands for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PHP" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PHP scripting language</a> used for dynamic websites.</li></ul><br><br>The three Fediverse server applications represented as moths in the bottom row, captioned with "LÄMP", are <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Friendica%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Friendica</a>, a very powerful Facebook alternative created by Mike Macgirvin in 2010, <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Hubzilla%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a>, a very versatile and extremely powerful "federated content management system" which Mike Macgirvin himself created from 2015 out of his own Friendica fork, and the intentionally nameless application in <a href="https://codeberg.org/streams/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the streams repository</a> from 2021, itself at the end of a long line of forks by Mike Macgirvin again, starting at Hubzilla. None of the four have any exotic or heavy-weight server software requirements. They need JavaScript for parts of the UI, but otherwise, they can run on a bone-stock Web server, requiring remarkably few CPU and RAM resources.<br><br>The four projects in the top row, on the other hand, have more exotic and/or heavy-weight requirements.<br><br>The one in the top left is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaspora_(software)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">diaspora*</a> from later in 2010 than Friendica, the only one in the image that does not support ActivityPub at all (it is only connected to the few Fediverse projects which support its own protocol, including Friendica and Hubzilla). diaspora* and <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Mastodon%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> next to it are both written in Ruby on Rails. Thus, they require more hardware resources per user identity than the three at the bottom while not even nearly offering the latter's features.<br><br>Next to them, <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Pleroma%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pleroma</a> from 2016 is famous for being much more lightweight than Mastodon while still offering more. But it is written in the fairly exotic <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elixir_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Elixir</a> language. Also, it can't use MySQL; it is only compatible with more complex <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">PostgreSQL</a>. In the meantime, <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Misskey%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Misskey</a>, which dates back to 2014, is entirely based on JavaScript: It is written in Microsoft's <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TypeScript" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">TypeScript</a> with <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vue.js" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vue.js</a> for the frontend. Let's say there's a reason why the former Firefish fork and now Misskey fork <a href="https://iceshrimp.dev/iceshrimp/iceshrimp" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Iceshrimp</a> is currently being re-written from scratch in <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_Sharp_(programming_language)" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">C#</a> as <a

Anyway</a>" meme template.<br><br>It takes a jab at how vulnerable to spam especially Mastodon is while <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_is_Hubzilla%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> and <a href="https://codeberg.org/streams/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> are very resilient against it. Mastodon and other Fediverse projects have suffered from several waves of spam, one of which is on-going, but Hubzilla and (streams) have never been affected. There are various reasons for this.<br><br>One reason is the option to be notified if mentioned by a non-connection out of the blue. On Mastodon, this option is on by default, and next to nobody turns it off. On Hubzilla and (streams), this option is off by default, and hardly anyone turns it on.<br><br>Another reason is because both Hubzilla and (streams) have very advanced permissions systems with over a dozen parameters. For example, on Mastodon, anyone whom you follow can send you their posts and their boosts, and <em>anyone</em> can reply to your posts and send you DMs. The only countermeasures are muting them, blocking them, blocking their entire instance or having the admins or mods take care of them.<br><br>Hubzilla and (streams), in contrast, have vastly more powerful means of self-moderation. They have separate permissions settings for others to send posts, reply to posts and send DMs, amongst other permission settings. These permissions can be generally restricted for the whole Hubzilla or (streams) channel and then granted to certain contacts, keeping non-contacts out. Ignoring and blocking come on top as last resorts.<br><br>And this is only what <em>users</em> can do. <em>Admins</em> have some other tricks up their sleeves.<br><br>Lastly, it's very unlikely that someone will use Hubzilla or (streams) to send spam and even less likely that a bot will use Hubzilla or (streams) to send spam. You can't just create an account and spam away like on Mastodon. It's more likely for public instances of Hubzilla or (streams) to have registration approval than for Mastodon instances. Also, you have to create a channel to be able to post from it; <a href="https://joinfediverse.wiki/What_are_channels_on_Hubzilla_and_(streams)%3F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">not your account is your identity with everything in it, but your channel is</a>. This is an extra obstacle. Lastly, while almost the entire rest of the Fediverse defaults to posting in public, both Hubzilla and (streams) default to posting privately to to certain contacts, changing which is anything but straight-forward.<br><br>#<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Mastodon" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Mastodon</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Hubzilla" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Hubzilla</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=%28streams%29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Spam" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Spam</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Meme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=FediMeme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediMeme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Fediverse%20Meme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse Meme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Image%20macro" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Image macro</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Reaction%20Image" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reaction Image</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Oh%20No%21%20Anyway" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Oh No!

Jupiter's Fedi-Memes on (streams)The Fediverse, late summer of 2024:<br><br>The streams repository has no official maintainer, and it doesn't look like it'll have a new one anytime soon.<br><br>Firefish had its death announced by its maintainer.<br><br>And /kbin was already killed by its maintainer without warning.<br><br>[spoiler=Caution: Image hidden due to foul language and potential eye contact]<a class="" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/.well-known/apgateway/did:key:z6Mkf2dhUa65zBYCNVqs3AHyt8uPixauZ7bPzEJn15LJANsd/photos/image/db118eba-e073-4de7-81a8-67ec65934a16" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"></a><br><br><p><strong>Explanation:</strong></p><br>The image hints at Fediverse server software whose key maintainer has largely or entirely quit. It is not based on a specific template, but it makes use of the meme phrases "<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/thats-cute" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">That's cute</a>" and "<a href="https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/bitch-please" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bitch, please</a>".<br><br><p><strong>(streams)</strong></p><br>The top logo is that of <a href="https://codeberg.org/streams/streams" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the streams repository</a>. It contains an intentionally nameless, brandless, public-domain-licensed Fediverse server application, one of the most advanced Fediverse server applications with the one most advanced set of permission controls. It was created in October, 2021, as a fork of one of three forks of a fork of probably another fork of Hubzilla, the all-purpose Swiss army knife of the Fediverse, which itself is a fork of maybe another fork of Friendica, a decentralised Facebook alternative from as early as 2010. All of this, including the forks in-between, was created by one man, Mike Macgirvin.<br><br>On August 31st, Mike announced in a private post only sent to his connections that the streams repository is basically up for grabs because he quit maintaining Fediverse software. Just like with Friendica in 2012 and Hubzilla in 2018, he wanted the community to take over.<br><br>But what was easy for Friendica and Hubzilla was expected to be difficult for (streams), as the nameless application is semi-officially called. That's because it only has a few dozen active users, none of which has both the skills and the time to take over as the new main maintainer. It didn't help that Mike dropped it in the middle of the transformation process towards nomadic identity via ActivityPub, in such a buggy state that inviting more people to (streams) is pretty much out of question.<br><br><p><strong>Firefish</strong></p><br>The Firefish logo in the middle stands for <a href="https://info.firefish.dev/notes/9xsukr38m3komd63" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the official announcement of Firefish's end of life</a>. Naskya, who rather involuntarily ended up the sole new Firefish developer after original forker and maintainer Kainoa had no time for it anymore, declared not having the energy to continue with the project. Firefish's code repository was put into maintenance mode which means that it won't get any new features anymore. At the end of 2024, support will end. And at the end of February, 2025, both <a href="https://firefish.dev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the code repository</a> and <a href="https://info.firefish.dev" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the official lighthouse instance</a> will be shut down which will practically mark the official end of Firefish.<br><br><p><strong>/kbin</strong></p><br>The /kbin logo at the bottom stands for the even earlier death of /kbin. The ambitious Reddit alternative had only had one sole developer from the very beginning. Ernest Wisniewski never had enough time to make /kbin mature because /kbin was rushed by former Redditors at a very early alpha stage. At the same time, he didn't let anyone help him. Apparently, everything eventually became too much for him. <a href="https://github.com/ernestwisniewski/kbin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nine months ago already</a>, he quit maintaining /kbin altogether. This summer, he shut down both <a href="https://kbin.pub" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the official /kbin website</a> and <a href="https://kbin.social" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">the official lighthouse instance</a> which made up the huge majority of /kbin's size, both with no announcement. There has never been any official statement by Ernest. Some information can be found in <a href="https://lemmy.world/post/18432763" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">this post on Lemmy</a>. What's left are a few third-party /kbin instances whose admins may not even have noticed that /kbin is dead.<br><br>#<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Fediverse" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=%28streams%29" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">(streams)</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=%2Fkbin" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">/kbin</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Firefish" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Firefish</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Meme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Meme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=FediMeme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">FediMeme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Fediverse%20Meme" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fediverse Meme</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=That%27s%20Cute" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">That's Cute</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Bitch%20Please" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bitch Please</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Swearing" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swearing</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Eye%20Contact" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eye Contact</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=Sensitive" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sensitive</a> #<a class="hashtag" href="https://streams.elsmussols.net/search?tag=%E2%9A%A0%EF%B8%8F" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">⚠️</a>
