TECC :archlinux:Lately I’ve noticed a growing number of <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/News" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#News</a> accounts on <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Mastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mastodon</a>, and honestly, it feels a bit overwhelming. I don’t use the <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Fediverse</a> to get breaking updates, I have other sources for that.What draws me here are real <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/People" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#People</a>, authentic <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Experiences" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Experiences</a>, and thoughtful <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Conversations" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Conversations</a> with like-minded individuals. <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Social" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Social</a> platforms shouldn’t just mirror traditional <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/media" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#media</a>, they should amplify <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/humanconnection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#humanconnection</a>.

imdat celeste :v_tg: :v_nb: :v_genderfluid: [witchzard]I think, we have to turn it upside down - don't tell people "it is like Twitter, but you have to choose a server", tell them:<ol><li>It is like email: you can choose any server you want</li><li>It is like email: you can chat with anyone who has an address (unless, of course, they blocked you)</li><li>It is not like Twitter where you can't chat with anyone who is not on Twitter</li><li>It is not like Facebook where you can't chat with anyone who is not on Facebook</li></ol><a href="https://tau-ceti.space/tags/FediThoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FediThoughts</a>

SynAck the Employed! :facepalm:I think one of the things that I like best about being on Fedi is the idea of starting with a small community and building my social graph here from the ground up based on essentially word-of-mouth due to how federation works. I got exposed to a bunch of new people in my local instance, got to know them, and through them was able to branch out and find more and more people to interact with. And finding a small community - and participating in it - is a lot easier than people think (and we generally haven't done a good job explaining that to new folks as a whole). It just takes a little bit of work and maybe an application and a waiting period to get accepted into that instance. But every other social media that I've ever used has had the opposite model - get blasted in the face with everybody shouting from everywhere and whittle it down to your "community", which is what I think most people are now trained to accept, and maybe why they don't like the fediverse paradigm. But for my money, I prefer to build my network from the bottom up, warts and all. It feels so much more like "communicating with" than "being shouted at", if that makes sense. Maybe that's why I love my instance so much - I took the time (and risk) to find one that looked like a group of people I would vibe with. :bec_wink: <a href="https://corteximplant.com/tags/fedithoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fedithoughts</a>

James Wynn 🧐I'm not even sure if Legend of the Red Dragon was a good game. It was a time and place. The community and feel of those BBSs in the 90s. In a way it kind of reminds me of the feel of the fediverse now. Small communities loosely stitched together. I'm not sure how to recapture the gaming aspect of that though. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/bbs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bbs</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fediverse</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/fedithoughts" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fedithoughts</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#gaming</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrogaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#retrogaming</a>
