i just took a look at mastodon.social and mstdn.social's timelines just to see and honestly if that's what i thought the fediverse was like i wouldn't have ever joined

@shibao @shibao this is what has happened to a bunch of people and they've written off the fediverse entirely.

Actually, a few of Baest's users came from instances like those. They seemed like cool people so I hoped on an alt to explain why things are the way they are and that there's a whole fun side of the fediverse they can't even see.

Most moved to either my instance or another one on this side of fedi and have been having fun ever since.

A lot said they had read about the fediverse and wanted to check it out and were about to give it up because it was boring and super woke until I came along and they discovered the fun side of fedi.

@sjw @shibao I landed on gameliberty by pure luck. Heard about mastodon from some tech tuber and looked up a mastodon instance finder. Searched for "game" and gl came up so I joined xD

@beardalaxy @sjw @shibao I only joined by YandereDev created an account on here, but never used it. I thought that this would be the perfect place to post gamedev stuff.

@sjw @beardalaxy @xianc78 @shibao I assumed it's just a troll account. Used an temporary email address.

@sjw @beardalaxy @matrix @shibao I wish we had more gamedevs on here. I'm pretty sure we can have a few indies on here without destroying their reputation.

@matrix @sjw @beardalaxy @shibao For them or for the instance? There are some game studios who can get away with having a presence on more niche and edgy sites. Running With Scissors literally had an official board on 8chan back in the day. I'm not even joking. And there have been a lot of indie games that have been shilled on imageboards over the years.

@xianc78 @matrix @sjw @shibao didn't some dev studio have a 8chan q&a that turned out pretty well? But then people told them 8chan had child porn on it or whatever so they issued an apology.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 @matrix @sjw @shibao reminder that the whole "8chan is a cp haven" thing was a false flag operation
@Alex @sjw @beardalaxy @matrix @xianc78 @shibao The CP wasn't actually there. The cripple was just reluctant to put something effective in place. After CM took over, there was botmod.

@maxmustermann @sjw @matrix @xianc78 @shibao @Alex I was gonna say, from what I remember there were people wondering if by CP they meant loli because there was never any CP.

@beardalaxy @sjw @matrix @xianc78 @shibao @Alex Only links to that garbage. There were some unironic pedo boards though. Some of them even split off to its own 8ch instance until the admin from there ended up v&, lol.
