@smallcircles To me the fediverse feels like an accidental but useful overlap of only-slightly-convergent universes – a region where aliens can go to communicate with each other before returning to their own dimensions.

(Really, that's how it feels. How else would you describe a place where antipodean flaneurs can hold convos with Dutch furries about toaster repair?)

@smallcircles

Like a huge self-sufficient green agglomeration of cities with cozy places all around

@msbellows I like that. Thanks for your input.

@smallcircles A city.

There's too much different stuff for a village.
Also the Left and tbe Green party of my country are here which would sadly be pretty unusual for a small village in my parts.

@msbellows @smallcircles

Like Meetpoint Station from CJ Cherryh's Pride of Chanur

@mastodonmigration @msbellows @smallcircles the pride of ChanUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUR.

love that song.

Tangled street cafe

@smallcircles @Tattooed_Mummy …a bustling convention about topics I don’t fully understand and I’m the only one not cosplaying.

@smallcircles Like a massive space habitat where beings of all types from everywhere in the universe come and go as they please, and are permitted to Just Be.

Rather like Iain M. Banks' Culture civilisation, but less manipulative.

@smallcircles Something like the Deep Space 9 space station.

@smallcircles definitely a Other

@smallcircles
Some kind of gathering camp somewhere along the Mediterranean coast with lots of mindful people aiming to build a new harbour where endless progressive evolution will be possible.

@smallcircles a sane asylum

@smallcircles A metropolis; I was born in London, not far from the Docks, and my MastoNerds are all different people unlike the sausagemeat populace of Meta etc. There are quiet corners and bustling thoroughfares here for choosing where you are comfortable.

@smallcircles
You know how Charles Shultz let us know that happiness is playing the drum in your own school band? It’s like that.

@smallcircles

College dorm, freshman year.

Various freak flags are fully let fly, and there's a lot of "OMG you too? I thought I was the only one."

@smallcircles Thriving Garden

@smallcircles Fedi (feeee diiiiii) is coming like a ghost town. All the clubs have been closed down.

@smallcircles
I experience the Fediverse as a stimulating conversation by witty, engaged, interesting, and often atypical people.

@smallcircles aimless road trip
