To which of these affiliations do you have the most loyalty?

[philip@mastodon.mallegolhansen.com]

@evan I planned it just for your question.

[amiserabilist@beige.party]

@wendinoakland @RolloTreadway @evan

beige brothers (and sisters and siblings)

[pwloftus@pwl.farted.net]

@evan To thy own self be true.

[amiserabilist@beige.party]

@wendinoakland @RolloTreadway @evan

[frang@meow.social]

@evan Other: My code editor

[ianbadcoe@peoplemaking.games]

@evan I said my instance, but only because it comes in at the 0.001 level...

[wendinoakland@beige.party]

@amiserabilist @RolloTreadway @evan The Beigettes

[semantikast@openbiblio.social]

@evan definitely my alma mater

[holgerschurig@social.tchncs.de]

@evan Definitely not the Fediverse instance.

I'm only using day-wise, then long months not.

The reason? So many people just post complete unproofable things. Or, in other words, factual bullshit.

I also don't have a "Your political party". I like SOME things from almost all german mainstream parties, and I detest SOME things from the same ones. And keep in mind that we have plurality, not a system of two bad parties like in the USA.

In Germany, a university is just a place to study. We don't do such a heckmeck like "MY university", don't do alumin-stuff or t-shirts with uni logos an them. You studied elsewhere? Be my friend!

I moved a lot, so some loyality with a town is an abstract concept to me. Loyality has to be earned IMHO.

So, all in all, your poll didn't make sense to me.

[edwiebe@scribili.masto.host]

@evan My family, I guess. None of those listed deserve loyalty for any reason.

[cy@fedicy.us.to]

My university ha ha good joke

[jhooper@techhub.social]

@evan my ideals and my family

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@VTDARKSIM ha! What are you studying?

[targetdrone@mastodon.social]

@evan I don't have much "loyalty" to any of the above choices. Since the only flag I've ever purchased for of any of those was for my university, (and only because the neighbors were flying their school flags!) that was my top choice.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

@funcrunch I'm glad you have a place you feel safe. You deserve that.

[funcrunch@me.dm]

@evan

*Relatively* safe. Being Black and trans is still an issue even in San Francisco.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

Friends, this is not intended to be an exhaustive list of everything you could feel loyalty to.

If your number 1 isn't on this list, pick the thing that's on this list that's highest ranked, even if it's number 3,450,179.

[evan@cosocial.ca]

And if you want to tell me your number one, add a comment!

[jmeowmeow@hachyderm.io]

@evan my public library

[jamesmarshall@sfba.social]

@evan to my values! Or to my friends. The closest option to values is "party". "City" is a good runner-up, since my city (Berkeley) reflects my values pretty well.

I mean, partying is worth fighting for too. You know, you gotta fight for your right.
