@matoakit did you read our profile before sending that follow request?

@gardevoir we can't see the boost you're referring to, could you link to it?
-F

@relee how did people use birdsite then? we've never been on there and don't know what people expect
-F

@mawr part of the difficulty understanding this might be that we don't really understand how exactly it's different?

the thing in question that got us feeling sad is seeing someone get frustrated and confused at not being able to join mastodon.social or meow.social (why is meow.social suddenly so huge anyway?), joining some other instance we haven't heard of, and being confused why they couldn't see anyone on m.s (presumably this other instance has them blocked, for good reason)
-F

@Caudle vulpine.club is the one we always recommend! good instance full of good people
-F

@Caudle many if not most instances have silenced mastodon.social because it's an unmoderated mess. Seriously, you don't want to be on the instances run by gargron and associates
-F

seeing people complain about "mastodon" (meaning fedi) due to a *complete* misunderstanding of anything to do with it just feels, i don't know

makes me sad people don't want to give this platform a chance. like we wouldn't be who we are today without this place and these people and it feels bad seeing people not even make the effort

but also maybe it should be easier? maybe there are problems in explaining what feels obvious to us since we've been here since what, 2017? and have seen all the stuff that resulted in things being how they are today
-F

@fox_news you should just fucking migrate to v.c already
-F

@Quest Either of those are good names! We have another friend who goes by Serrano and it's a good name
-F

@trysdyn Could you expand the acronym? we've never heard of a "BDFL" before
-F

@nautilee @Oneironott @LexYeen sometimes i just want to be a half dozen twelve-limbed otters
-F

@Quest good morning! i'm glad he's happy and look forward to meeting him
-F

@mawr @solarmerps i feel like it might have been crom?
-F

@LexYeen @Oneironott otters oughta have at least twelve limbs
-F

I know it's probably because we don't look at the federated timeline and only post unlisted but, we have seen very few new people and interacted with even fewer
-F

@FreyaManibrandr @astra@plush.city @astra@vulpine.club specifically a friend showed us this character from a music video (this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38zuyOfL0hI) and it just set off genderfeels for zhir
-F

I'm not sure exactly why, but the floating body parts and pointy face just feel *right* to me.
-R

They remind me also of omega-xis, from megaman star force. You might find that design inspirational too, Rose!

@owashii@plush.city @BatElite Timezones are just wonderful to work with

sorry did i say wonderful i meant awful
-F

@FreyaManibrandr @astra@plush.city @astra@vulpine.club i love hearing about all the strange and wonderful genders people have

we're over here not really knowing what our genders are -F

(though we might have had a minor breakthrough for my identity yesterday thanks to a friend? -R

going to have to let that stew for a bit)
-F

@owashii@plush.city @BatElite there needs to be some kind of automatic timezone translation system here

@astra@plush.city @astra@vulpine.club @FreyaManibrandr melon-flavored nonbinary....
