Go nuts

Seems a little hit or miss rn but I will do a restart in a few hours

Windows XP Black Edition was a very popular bootleg on public trackers with a cool custom theme and probably some trackers. Anyway I installed it because it looked cool on my computer when I was like 13.

I think the answer to your "why" is simply that people asked for a microblogging platform, because social media trended toward removing that semantic distinction as a visible limitation a long time ago. The platforms that inspired popular AP projects today were using recommendation algorithms and social graphs to create those delineations instead of making more meaningfully visible separations.

I also think that, as an organizer, "meeting them where they are" is pretty valuable. I spend a lot of time curating social presences I don't personally care for because I meet a lot of people who had "no idea there was something in my area".

we don't have platforms for ttrpgs anymore because the concept of a singular platform for a niche is largely dead. reddit's entire business is countering that. i think its pretty relevant!

Also gotta compete with Discord for that. Which is hard! But is being done in the foss space.
