  1. This is a shared account, so our #introduction also kind of covers why. Do not expect flow or continuity: it is hard enough to agree on what it is exactly that defines us both simultaneously instead of apart from each other.

    We both come from dysfunctional working class families from #Spain, i.e. carry the generational trauma of a fascist regime whose narrative and power structures linger to this very day. Class divide is a knife that can cut any relationship apart, and resentment is the pervasive commonplace when victims and executioners have had unclear roles for almost a century. Family is a meaningless word if you have never experienced safety or love from it.

    For years, we reached for each other in search of solace, to escape from our symbolic orphanages. It felt that deep from the very start, even though we had intervals where we only interacted to share self-deprecating memes. We moved together almost ten years ago, but met on #MySpace a dozen years before that. Being able to stay in touch with each other was our main motivation to use social networking sites during that time.

    So we gradually stopped using them over the last decade, a process that was also stimulated by #enshittification. But we've been hoping to get back what we enjoyed from those platforms. And so far we've benefitted more from boundaries around us than between us, as we have always longed for a sense of community and the secure atmosphere that comes with it. So here we are. Together.

    So yeah, being singled-out is one of those things we would like to skip over, but the Fedi is about people, so you can try from the following:
