I didn't really use Mastodon for very long. I made all of a few posts on the application, used it for about a week and then largely wrote it off as a Twitter clone that was largely in its infancy instead and never really looked back.

Wow, I totally forgot Mastadon was a thing!
I would have to imagine in fell out of style in favor of Discord, but I'm not certain. |

Remember how I said forums are a good backup to when Discord is down.
Yea. |

Discord has really borked as of late. They updated and suddenly...almost nothing wanted to load for the longest time.
Looks like they need to do some more Quality Control or something. But they probably just accidentally sat on the remote control button for the "delete all rows" in the database or something. Good thing they got backups! (That's not what happened but it is funny to imagine someone somewhere having a remote for some weird reason with a button that doesn't belong on an easily pressed remote control.) |

I haven't even logged into IRC in over a year now I think? Most of the communities I'm in have since moved onto Discord "Miracles happen, when you believe..."

Can we find something other than Matrix that isn't already bought out by cryptobros as a means of alternative?
I mean I guess I could always make a Vent server or something one of these days if it got that bad. |

Posted by Hiryuu I'm certain someone will come up with something. In my experience most cryptobros are just early adopters, not innovators. |

Well, Discord has already infamously gone the way of crypto until they got backlash so bad on their Nitro subscriptions that it ran them years into the dirt of money loss. |

I keep saying one of these days I will make some alternative, but it is way more likely someone will do so first. I just got other priorities first...like working on a game series. |

I hate stuff like crypto and NFTs because they just don't appeal to me and are bad for the environment 😉 never saw the point tbqh "Miracles happen, when you believe..."

NFTs are just a huge waste of time and mostly scam artists who make it, and all it does is give the money to someone who doesn't even know what they're doing - or know too much how to take advantage of people/artists for "false promises".
If you really want to support artists, give money to actual artists directly. Way better ways to support folks than an insecure (there's been lots of theft and people losing their art/coins) garbage scam system. |

Why isn't it standard time year round or DST year round? They've been proposing it for years but at least some places have done it "Miracles happen, when you believe..."

In the States, I'd bet it to be lobbying. More reason to keep people outside means more ways to make sure that 'the outdoors, home and garden' economies stay better lit. I doubt the whole WW2 farming reason stands up anymore.
Short of that, or more simply? Control. Just because. |

Here I am again. Unfortunately I missed the rainbow username funsies by a couple days, but that's whatever I guess. Happy to see the forum is still up in some form even though it is mostly inactive.

I'd say interest for sites like this isn't completely dead, considering a few things:
-People still come by despite knowing they're not going to find much of anything new. It may take time, be it months or even years, but people often eventually return, just like I did today. -Everyone is still starved for entertainment and many miss the "old internet" that had all of its soul sucked away by social media. That is to say, autonomous communities like this with their own flavor and quirks. What this website lacks is retention and, well, activity. If we could all agree to meet on a certain date to throw a party or whatever, we'd have a start. It's hard to deny that, individually, sites like Kafuka fell out of relevancy. But if people keep coming anyway, even if it's just to lurk for a few moments, then you've got a small chance. You just gotta take it. ____________________ there's a link here. |
