  • I have the same combo of illnesses (though maybe less intense Alexithymia)

    A useful resource for me is an emotion wheel (you can find one with your favourite search engine)

    It has tiers to it, so you could start with happy, for example, then get more specific with the sub-categories

    You and I both know there would be great difficulty in identifying what actual emotion you feel with regards to your childhood home, even with an emotion wheel. Since you’re not being judged on the accuracy on the emotions identified, you can pick a few that sounds reasonable.

    For me, your assignment would more feel like a language exercise of picking the right word that makes sense in context, rather than thinking about the actual emotions experienced. In this case, the emotion wheel would help by acting as a reference of emotions to consider, and act as a sanity check if you’re writing something positive but chose an emotion that is a sub category of anger, for example






  • I agree that fediverse is only a few million. But the fediverse is also highly populated with refugees from twitter and reddit at the moment, who just want another stable and popular social platform similar to what they’ve always used.

    If anything, the fediverse will have people with stronger opinions: either they’re willing to change social media because of a couple bad changes (and aren’t too attached to the fediverse), or they’re hardcore fediverse fans who are less likely to move to threads than your average twitter user.

    If we assume it to be a 50% split, then meta has a chance at stealing half the fediverse by promising a larger user base, thus more content, but on the false premise that Threads will be backwards compatible with the fediverse forever.
