aha, gotcha, that makes sense! custom feeds are suuuch a pain for a site that makes "you make your own algorithm!" such a selling point lmao

neat! how did you get liking the feed to be included to work? is that a feature of skyfeed/some other service or are you self hosting a generator? :o

alright make some noise if youre ready for the phrase "ghetto blaster" to reach complete semantic saturatioooooon

i definitely have essays worth of thoughts on it all but they're pretty diffuse... i'm at least motivated by this thread to try and write about what it means to Me Personally, that's probably a good place to start lol

it was originally proposed (as "animal-hearted") on TDF in 2009, so it's a bit more than that! 10 years ago is when it shifted from being super embedded in that one specific forum to being extracted by tumblr otherkin as a supposed solution to issues of inclusion in the community

you're probably in the majority these days! but there was culture n history that got squashed bc the word was used as a trash bin by another community. which kinda sucks! i identify heavily w the vibes n values of hearted folks pre-2013 n i wish more people around me also connected with that, is all

yeah as someone whos primary label is otherhearted this is... oof 🥲 i came to it from daemonism as well and i feel like this issue is so confusing bc people just dont know their history
