wembleyWell, guys! I sure talked a big game when I moved to Mastodon (for the second time) during the (what turned out to be very brief) exodus from Twitter once Elon bought it. I was gonna use Dreamwidth more! I was gonna be on Mastodon all the time! Fuck Twitter!
1. This is icky to admit, but Elon (who is terrible and gross and has let fascist bigots back onto the platform) has made the For You tab, which I never used to look at, completely addictive (for me). It shows me everything I want to see (in a "ooh, look at this drama/outrage/discourse" way). I know. I know.
And the simple change needed to put my eyeballs on this bullshit was simply making the tab first, instead of making it a toggle like it used to be (where I would always toggle off Home and go to Following).
(Tbf I am also following way too many people and it makes my Following feed way too random and chaotic. Even using lists is similar. Whereas For You has a certain logic to it. Trans rights stuff that I care about, dumb fandom discourse stuff, it's less... noisy?)
2. But honestly that's not most of the time. Most of the time, I'm on the 18+ CBS Ghosts Discord. "I LIKE SMALL FANDOMS," I lied to the world. "I'M GONNA MAKE FANDOM SMALL FOR MYSELF!" I mean, I do like small fandoms, once they hit a certain amount of activity, they're too overwhelming to me. But, like most every other person on in fandom, I like being where the action is, so... here I am, co-modding a Discord where we can all be horny away from the kids!
Come join us! If you want to! If you're into H-Money aka Tretty aka Trevor/Hetty, we've got a whole little area to hornily lose our minds in, it's a lot of fun. It would also be great to get people that ship other things in there (I know our Pete/Trevor and Isaac/Nigel and Trevor/Sam fans would love more folks to talk to). Or if you don't ship anything, that is also ok!
I think I would be on DW more if it was easier to post, with a WYSIWYG editor that allowed quick and easy italics and bolding and linking, on my phone. I mean, not that it's super hard, but if it was Tumblr-easy or Twitter-easy. Although that friction is probably part of what keeps Dreamwidth slower aka sane/less full of discourse? Idk. I mean, we sure had discourse in the late 2000s, lol.
Anyway. CBS Ghosts! It's a fun time! Ghosties reading this, what do you think of the recent episodes?
Also, I'm watching S3 of Picard but I'm not paying as much attention when I watch. I was kind of not into the plot points they were centering in the first three eps, but now they've added plot points that hook my interest more. Anybody else watching?
