That town was a character, and the most compelling one in the series.

Oh definitely a hot take! Obviously there are outstanding episodes in the newer seasons, but you also can't say it hasn't changed alot.

@Tearcell of course the other screens don't show. I'm bad at this federation thing...

Sisko punched Q.

That's a metaphor but also what happened.

My experience as well. I blitzed and grinded followers cuz it was easy and why not. My feed is okay in general, but I had to follower 1.5kish people to get it that way.

But I still get more than twice the engagement and meaningful engagement at that on Mastadon and Kbin, with less than half the followers. I also get little out of twitter, but I may be bad at it.

Oh sweet summer child.

Don't get me wrong, I'm trying to sell an indie game (see my profile!!!!!!), but its crazy how the culture shifts depending on where you are! On Mastodon and Kbin I don't feel like I'm wasting time just talking to people and enjoying the company.

On twitter and threads I just feel if I'm not yelling and shouting, its not worth my time. Like I'm falling behind if I'm not trying to push the sale.

I don't know why that all is honestly.

No, greedy!

Crypto bagholder detected!

oh L oh L at this! Maybe that boxing match can settle this.

May just be a gamble on future tech. IF federation is the future of the web (and I hope it is!) getting in early and helping shape it makes sense. Its also something of proven tech at the moment, so if they just threw this up fast to take advantage of twitter fires, it makes sense to use something that they know works as opposed to pulling a bluesky and doing it all from scratch. Also means there are more developers out there that are familiar with the tech.

They have also already declared that if you federate with them, your instance has to abide by their code of conduct, so they already throwing their weight around.

Zeus!??! Blasphemy. All father or no father I say. Odin for best God.
