I know I'm not paying (much) for this platform, but I'd sure I'd love it if I could find a fedi instance that won't spontaneously combust (like mastodon.lol did) or be limited or suspended by half the servers with people I actually want to talk to (like eightpoint.app and mastodon.social have), AND that will actually load and function (which my other home instance has been having some difficulties with recently).

These don't seem like onerous requirements.

And yet, here we are.

Also on my wishlist: I don't want to be part of some vortex of enshittification (the way .social seems to be going), and I'd like more than 500 characters.

That's along with all the basics, like "must think trans girls are actual human beings worthy of respect" and "must not want to suck off fascists" and so on.

I wouldn't think those would even need to be said... and yet, here we are.

Fuck, I miss the pre-Russian-buyout LiveJournal.

Nothing gold can stay.

I'm going to put on a silly video about TTRPGs and try to get my headspace out of the Pit'th of Dethpair.
