hey can I put out a public plea to get more people on board with posting stuff that isn't about tech or politics? I love fedi but I think that nobody's been really talking about anything else lately. show me art or that cool thing that you're researching or a silly video that you threw together.
also yes this is an invitation for you to be as annoying and self indulgent about your hobbies and interests as possible. people love it when you do that actually
@godotengine Facility 01: a short point-and-click game that I eventually had to cancel because of poor planning and lack of motivation. The only parts of the game that I ever made were this test stage and a very unfinished room https://youtu.be/JjzPlT_c8ko

So. Three folks I follow are echoing pretty much the same sentiment I've been trying to express and are spending less time here.
I'll preface with a reminder that you may very well feel my opinions are bunk. I am a successful YouTuber, after all, with all the privileges that entails.
But here's the brass tacks: it's harder for me to be here comfortably than it was on the birdsite. And to be honest, I think Mastodon's always gonna be this way.
@feditips I understand this; the fediverse has a learning curve and all, but your initial response essentially boiled down to a fancy "well it works on my machine", which is really not a good response when the OP is explicitly complaining about people that do that. I understand that you want to defend your position, but I personally believe that it might be a better approach to understand the behaviors that are being called out instead of attempting to solve problems for other people.
@gavi mainly just trying to find a good general one for now. I'm sort of leaning towards lemmy.world but I'm not sure if that side of fedi follows the "everyone limits the hell out of the big servers" thing
