       @clive Destiny. I'll do the same as you, drop in for weeks to the neglect of everything else and then swear it off for a couple years.

       @clive it might be the same kind of loop as WoW, at least for a lot of people. Genuinely fun gameplay, social element/component with irl friends I genuinely enjoy, daily checklist grind that is semi-required to keep power level high for raiding. Also, genuinely entrancing story and lore. The whole package.

       So, correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m going to go out here on a limb and say that it *seems to me* that the majority of good faith #bsky criticism of the vibe on mastodon, calling it “stuffy” and “no fun”, comes from people who joined mastodon.social, after complaining loudly that there was no default instance to quickly onboard people to the new service. So like, the irony, I guess, is what hit me this morning.

       Cuz I was trying to square up how this very common criticism of mastodon was so hard for me to see in my experience. My first month or so here, I participated in an hours long alliteration thread with @RL_Dane and @benjaminhollon, among other contributors. It was very silly and not at all serious. That’s been the norm for me, people wanting to do fun stuff and normal stuff and silly stuff and serious stuff all together.

       And then it hit me that I don’t follow or really know hardly anyone from one of the massive “default” or “catch all” instances, and the irony of a group of people poo-pooing decentralization as a feature, who thought it was too complicated to go and find an instance that they might gel with a bit more than mastodon.social, then conflating all of mastodon with a small subset of it *in a federated service* just smacked me in the head.

       I would call it a failure of communication, on our part, if I didn’t see loud and constant communication along this line, particularly during the winter when so many new people were here. I’m reluctant to just say “you get out of this process what you put in”, because that’s dismissive of people’s real concerns, but that’s kind of where I’ve landed?

       What I know for sure is that I’m happy to have found #Fosstodon and the community here, and I’m very thankful to @mike and @kev and the whole moderation team for making MY mastodon onboarding experience one of the highlights of my year. I think you’ve done something right here.

       Woke up this morning #BSD curious. For all the users out there, is there a reason for someone running Linux desktop to consider running #BSDDesktop (of any kind or flavor), or is it more useful to have as a tool for servers? My only previous experience with BSD is brief dalliances with TrueNAS.

       Ok, so, honest question. Do you think the art in this sticker is generated by generative AI? #AI
