  • In addition to many of the fine points made in other comments I think it’s silly to overlook the power of celebrity worship and weird-ass parasocial relationships with famous people.

    There exists a large number of people who aren’t really interested in discussing <topic_x>, they just want to know what <favourite celebrity whos life I have deluded myself into thinking is attainable by me> thinks about the topic so that they can regurgitate it and feel like they’re “the same”.

    I’m sure if Chappell Roan or whatever “the kids” think is cool these days had jumped to Mastodon we’d be seeing something very different. TBH I’m mildly surprised that we didn’t see more record labels standing up instances. It’s always boggled me that people have just trusted the service desperately trying to be known as “X” as an authority on identity.




  • I am far too casual to care to keep a running list of issues and their status. What I can say is:

    • The population has stabilized in what I consider a good place
    • I haven’t had a crash in a couple of months
    • Performance is fine even on high settings
    • They’ve changed up how the shops and crafting are organized and it makes way more sense than it initially did
    • Crafting feels way more useful and accessible than it initially did
