SkyTuneRein Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) I've arrived from AVEN after I thought I'd give this place a try. I'm no good at writing intros or about myself like this though. Firstly I'm a tech and science nerd. I may not be very talkative at first especially if we don't have any common interests, but after a while I may open up as I get to know you too. Just don't get me involved with polarising politics, particularly petty "debates" with no scientific interest. One kind of people I don't get on with are philistines or anti-intellectuals/art and those who are anti-science. Other than that, I'm pretty easy going and open-minded. I can be quite sarcastic but still peace-loving and mean no malice. Other things I like include music and most forms of media. I think I'm demi but it's difficult for me to feel any attraction to anyone, nor have I ever felt inclined enough to pursue romantic relationships. I'm also picky about who I get close to and don't like making big changes in my daily routine...normally though I don't give a damn about other things. I think this place would suite me in the longer term because it's less active here so I don't have to spend as much time to keep up with new posts and I hope it's at least a little...less "devoted to one's opinions" than AVEN. There're a few reasons I hope but never mind... Anyway hi. ? Edited August 15, 2020 by SkyTuneRein Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ch0c0 Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 (edited) Hello and welcome to Arocalypse Here is something chill. It's true that here we don't always post back quicker than light... but that doesn't mean that the answers aren't food for thoughts.

SkyTuneRein Posted August 17, 2020 Author Share Posted August 17, 2020 A small fraction of the activity, yet twice the welcomes I got on AVEN. Incredible. Thanks all and I'd love a more chill community. It's the main reason I came here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what goes on at AVEN but I will say one of the things that really drew me in to this site was how kind the introductions were. Anyone who joins gets a nice little shower of welcomes and hellos, its great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkyTuneRein Posted August 18, 2020 Author Share Posted August 18, 2020 (edited) TBH from I've observed on there, there's probably some systemic/institutional sexism and/or demi-phobia and double-standards going on. The amount of flatulence and defecation references and jokes there is rather weird too, that and the amount endless political "debates" and re-hashed ace-question topics is getting old. I'm not really one to complain about intracommunal affairs/beliefs but there's something not quite right about AVEN, despite the fact I have had some fun there. I do recall someone elsewhere saying things like one had to constantly "walk on eggshells" to survive without a clique. Whatever the case is, I am feeling increasingly ostracised by them as well as bored and tired. So I may leave them for here completely soon.

I have seen some spaces ugh ? I actually don't know aven exept by name (and reputation, which depend on who you are asking to). But in some cases, a space don't work in a way that suit us. The amount of them i had to leave... Welcome by the way ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
