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.

@xianc78 @beardalaxy @matrix @shibao @xianc78 @beardalaxy @shibao he did?
cc @matrix when did that happen?

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

@matrix @beardalaxy @shibao @xianc78 @matrix @beardalaxy @xianc78 @shibao kind of disappointing but not surprised

@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.

@xianc78 @sjw @beardalaxy @shibao Would be nice but the account would be a liability
