I have some important news about our oxygen supply.
@CamestrosFelapton What killed the series for me was the appearance of Cadsuane Melaidhrin, the most powerful of her kind, counsel to Rand etc etc etc. But was not mentioned in the books until, in a fit of narrative inconsistency, she appears in book 7. RIght, one of the most powerful people in history doesn't even a single mention even as an historical character before she is thrust into the plot.
That usually kills a series for me - sure sign that it is going nowhere.
A few thoughts for people who are new due to #twitterdown #riptwitter
Currently mastodon feels like early Twitter: growing fast, rough edges, evolving norms, not everyone is here yet.
Don't instantly give up because it's different. Give it time.
Your follow(ing/er) count is not a scoreboard.
Chances are you've gone from a fire hose to a trickle, but is that actually bad? You don't have to frantically recreate your old feed. Maybe just slowly add content that makes you happy.
@ariadne I prefer the alternate phrasing of
"Freeloaders are people who don't buy what they don't need"
it's a jerk reaction as it means that they don't have the skills to do a proper solution that that problem.
But it's also a lie as this is a self-inflicted DOS problem and they don't have the skills to fix that either.
