Definitely not an eldritch cosmic entity beyond mortal ken. Probably. Well, maybe. Depends who's asking.

I don't understand why anyone's favourite season would be anything other than autumn or spring.
Autumn and spring:
✅ Moderate weather
✅ Beautiful colours galore
✅ Short and sweet
Summer and Winter:
⛔ Potential for death by temperature
⛔ Dull, singular colours
⛔ So long you forget what the other seasons felt like
“favoriting posts does nothing” is a common thought but it’s not accurate in any sense
mastodon has trends and all interactions play into that! your admin has to approve them (and personally I have stopped caring entirely about approving them 😅) but it’s a feature
and more importantly, favorites send a nice little notification to the person who made the post! that’s what they’ve always been for! long before twitter started showing you posts other people liked, favorites were there and that’s all they did
don’t let what twitter turned favorites into make you forget what their original purpose was!! @sarae https://ecoevo.social/@sarae/116234378485815564
seeing another round of "don't favorite posts on fedi" folks it is a kind and lovely thing to favorite someone's post and anyone who tells you not to be kind and lovely has told you something about themself it's true that it doesn't particulary increase the distribution of your post but the idea that we're all here to get things distributed as far as possible is pretty weird
"ah, a free evening! finally I can spend some time on one of my projects"

"okay, I've mostly unfucked the problems from running an upgrade on my workstation. I'll need to remember to undo these workarounds in a few months once the relevant nixpkgs PRs land, and figure out where to report this kernel regression. what was I doing again"
@Sirs0ri glad to hear it! 
is Big City a positive thing for you?
also, if you're not going to be around much here in the future, is there somewhere else it'd be ok to keep in touch? we don't talk that much but I've grown to like you!
