Excluding, say, here or the fediverse more broadly.

There have been some nice corners of the internet that have somehow kept going along their way that I’ve enjoyed lurking around like some alien observer. They are the few spaces I dare not pop in and ask, out of fear it would somehow break things.

    I phrased it in the form of an inside metajoke. Often a common dad joke is to name a celebrity and say “I knew Abe Lincoln, we went to different schools together”. It’s a fancy way of saying “I know them but that’s it”.

      I’ve never heard that in my life.

      And your dad didn’t know Abe Lincoln, so I don’t get why it’s a fancy way of saying you only just know someone, lol
