I've put together a survey about the Small Internet (#gopher, #gemini, individual webpages, small community sites) and I would love your input. If you are a small internet user, please spend a few minutes and fill in your thoughts. I'm especially interested in the open response questions. This will help inform an upcoming conference talk I'll be giving at https://mch2022.org
Also, please boost this on fedi as much as possible and feel free to re-share on other social networks and in other communities. The more responses the better.
A reminder for those of you who happen to be unlucky enough to live in the US right now with #RoeVsWade overturned:
Uninstall any proprietary period tracking apps you might have – they *will* snitch on you.
Use drip instead, its fully open source and doesn't include trackers[1].

I think this goes without saying, but please, go on camping trips to other places (like say, Chicago or Canada).
But do not post details about your camping trips.
Use a VPN to learn details of your camping trips, especially if you do a staycation.
I 100% support the right to go on camping trips. But do not tell me about them. Do not tell Anyone about your camping trips unless they need to know.
And if you haven't already: Delete any app that tracks periods. It can and WILL be used against you.
And they installed it wrong. And refuse to do anything because they're in a hurry. Time to call the company -_-
mental health, complaining
These past few days have absolutely not been kind to me. Hallucinating things, bad dreams, wanting to cut, and not being able to function are not fun. Sadly, all things I'm used to :-/ I'm trying to be more open about them, though, because i feel like I've buried them far too much in unhealthy ways.
But between therapy and releasing yet another Doom map, I'm hoping this week will be better.
Getting a functioning dryer will also be nice since ours died last week :-P
Complaining
Ugh, I don't deal well with summer. Like, at all. The heat makes me so uncomfortable and anxious that I end up just sitting around and vegetating all day. And now they're expecting temperatures of 95-102 F here tomorrow (35-38.8 C).
But hey, at least it's dry heat, right? .....right? ^_^;
I seriously miss winter and snow right now. Maybe I should permanently live in Antarctica.
I make Doom/Quake maps, love Touhou Project, and occasionally write music. I also program in Common Lisp as a hobby.
Geeky goth, disabled, probably listens to industrial music too loudly. Former CompSci student. Commie, but generally not very loud about it. ⚢, married, polyam, ⚧
Slackware Linux since 2002, and Emacs user since... yes. I mostly use #FLOSS whenever I can.
Pronouns are she/her.
