I have a long-running joke with the younger sister of a friend of my sister's, where each Christmas the friend of my sister tries to set me up with her based on the fact that "I run a feminist social network". I'm pretty sure everyone involves knows that thefempire.org is years-dead.

i told my mom i co-run a small community website (here) but she barely knows how to talk to people online so probably doesn’t really very clearly understand what that means

and my brother has his own circles

also yeah we’re never going to be a big platform, that’s what reddit is for

yeah lol. i dont tell my family about my online stuff in any detail. Online and Offline are completely different realms for me. i would never bring online stuff into my irl life unless it would be anonymous or 100% unrelated to existing relationships, and vice versa feels incredibly inappropriate

moreover i cant imagine jstpst ever being a Big Platform. if jstpst was made to be a Big Website then jstpst would be totally unappealing

i don't know about a will as in, the document that says who gets what when you die, but I think it's always good to have a living will, which is the document that says what you want health care-wise if you become incapacitated and incapable of answering questions. You never know when that could come in handy -- hopefully never, but if it does, you'd be glad you had it.

depends who your next of kin is really, you have stuff even if you don't have assets per se and you might have wishes on how to be buried/cremated and so on

probably not worth getting a proper big lawyerly one all notarised and such but can't hurt to write a document and keep it in a safe place, if nothing else to make your intentions clear -- even if it's not legally binding hopefully your NOK will follow it.

I was going to say probably 🤪 is a good contender. But there's a lot of great suggestions in this thread.

Also 💦, 🍑 and 🍆 but mostly because when I see them I am disgusted by the context.
