problem here so far, as far as I can tell, is that there aren't any real antagonists yet, we look like the villagers in a novel pleasantly going about our boring lives waiting for plot to happen to us - ThreadSky

There’s no villain of the day here which is both excellent and boring. Who do we dunk on for that dopamine hit?

scattermoon.bsky.social•610 days ago

Quick, how do you feel about kink at Pride? Cats being let outdoors? Pedestrianised zones in city centres?

Very belle going through her hometown singing about how much everyone sucks of you

sturdyalex.bsky.social•609 days ago

I DISAGREE VERY STRONGLY

heartinamber.bsky.social•610 days ago

Think the trouble starts when the American early adopters realise the Brits have turned up

zebra.bsky.social•610 days ago

Or when the French show up and start shit with everyone else

yellowboy.bsky.social•610 days ago

Hopefully. It is very homogenous here.

Invite-only sign ups filters out the true weirdos

marcharris.bsky.social•610 days ago

nah they're here i've found them. i'm just waiting for the vibe to shift before i start mercilessly QTing

At some point Goodwin will join and then the other academics I follow that he hasn't yet blocked on here will be able to interact with him again

drjennings.bsky.social•610 days ago

Got my finger on the button waiting...

This place is so new elite, though, even compared to Twitter.

cjterry.bsky.social•610 days ago

Which is why he'll join. There's no point in the new elite thesis if you can't then tell the new elite how new elite they are every five minutes

mordantmuppetry.bsky.social•610 days ago

I’ve noted who didn’t offer me an invite code.

theangelremiel.bsky.social•610 days ago

honestly I think it's the opposite. With a community of the right size, making it invite / subscription only means the weirdos feel ownership.

eleanorofaquitrans.bsky.social•610 days ago

Nah there are really bad racism problems on here and the primary antagonists are the devs

youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com•610 days ago

Oh :(

eleanorofaquitrans.bsky.social•610 days ago

Yeah @aliafonzy.bsky.social talks about it a lot, they're probably a good source? Certainly better than I would be for any of the detail

jade-duck.bsky.social•610 days ago

someone needs to give the human pet guy an invite

yiannisbab.bsky.social•609 days ago

Should I offer my invites to certified wronguns from Twitter?

blakekirk.bsky.social•369 days ago

Was this excerpted from the scriptwriters' bible for "Midsomer Murders?"

petefrasermusic.bsky.social•610 days ago

THAT IS OKAY MARIE

soapachu.bsky.social•610 days ago

For a bit, at least

petefrasermusic.bsky.social•610 days ago

I like social media when it’s pottering.

petefrasermusic.bsky.social•610 days ago

Honestly though, whatever the people are like, they must be INTERESTING. It’s why Twitter is a compelling place to me and Mastodon isn’t - Mastodon never had consistent conversation that wasn’t too esoteric.

soapachu.bsky.social•610 days ago

I couldn't get a grip on it at all
