@y0kai @Dagwood222 Seconded on that one, it’s definitely more used with a negative/sarcastic connotation

@BackOnMyBS It’s been a lot of trial and error mostly, but that’s my general framework, it varies by person, someone who understands autism more is usually a little easier to work with, for example

@BackOnMyBS It’s not entirely straightforward, but I find that stating “I’m confused because you said ‘x’ which I interpreted as ‘y’ and this thing you’re saying now I interpret as being ‘z’ doesn’t seem consistent, what am I not understanding” (doesn’t have to be those exact words)

Or if it’s something I said I apologize for the confusion, state my intentions behind what I said, and try to say it in a different way based off how they interpreted the last thing I said

@BackOnMyBS I finally figured out how to properly communicate when I’m confused about someone’s behavior or their perception of my behavior, I’ve been able to get more context in conversation as well as avoid certain arguments due to miscommunication/misinterpretation

@thestereobus @Cock_Inspecting_Asexual AirPods Pro 2 really work for me personally

If you wanted to stick with the AirPods route the Maxes will do a better job of noise isolation due to size, but they’re bulky and super expensive

Though there are rumors going around that Apple will be updating the AirPods Max today at their release event so definitely keep a lookout for those if you’re interested

@Navigator @vzq That should probably be the first question then

@technomad I’ve been keeping a lot of my friends aware of what’s going on in the fediverse (especially around Threads, which they’re more aware of) through a discord channel I run on our server that’s dedicated to what’s going on in the world of tech

Conceptually I prefer using the email analogy for how it actually works since that’s pretty close

Gatekeeping the fediverse isn’t good for it, get people to join up, you have control over what you see
