“Sometimes there’s a man… I won’t say a “hero,” because what’s a hero? But sometimes there’s a man who… well, he’s the man for his time and place!” – Sam Elliot (the Stranger) from the glorious The Big Lebowski
You know that classic quote about standing on the shoulders of giants (and pioneers)? Honestly, in so many ways, that’s how I truly feel about the good ol’ Fediverse.
So, to sum up-- who are YOUR heroes here, and what does keep you hanging on here, baby…?
EDIT: For people wondering about what kinds of ‘bumps & difficulties’ I’ve personally experienced, here’s a tiny sampler:
I humbly confess I never watched that show
It can be brilliant, and I find it rare that it’s any less than very good. It plays with scifi tropes (any and all tropes really), is very self-aware… I am sure it stands to be criticized, but I personally love the show. Apart from season 5, of course
I love that with shows anymore there’s always a pariah season, lol. Maybe I’ll catch it on tv one day.
At first I also refused to watch since its animated and I thought it was childish, but then I learned that there are like a lot of dirty stuff and supposedly for adults, so, given how popular it became, I just had to watch it.
And its worth it. Yes, its weird af and I always feel so confused and something things just makes zero sense, but some stories are interesting. Never really got bored of any of it (although some episodes aren’t really that great for a re-watch imo).
one of those things that’s quite funny and high production value but the fandom is largely obnoxious and some of the creators are jerks
it’s also not everyone’s style of humor. give it a shot sometime and see if it resonates though!
