as much as i think this is the best timeline-oriented site (if the only option were twitter/bsky i would simply not be on social media at all), i do still yearn for topic-based organisation again. its much more... comfortable? to join an ongoing discussion you can find again than it is to pitch a post out into everything and kinda hope that someone whos interested will see it? i get that theres tags, but near-identical ones arent aggregated, you dont know which are used regularly, and theres no... sense of flow between the posts? i dont know how to phrase it eloquently

queer animal on the internet! expect rambles about music, flight simming, whatever media im hyperfixated on lately, cats, etc. might reblog nsfw from time to time

I feel like at least some of this is by-design, your posts are only as discoverable as you want them to be and all; and while I understand the reasons why, you're right, conversations can suffer as a result. Some of this can be resolved as the site scales up over time and all, but it also may well be that the staff doesn't see the current state of affairs as an issue they need to address.
tbh i get way more good talk here than i did on twitter, but i still think the format is, at core, not conducive to it
Oh absolutely, I feel like I get better conversation on here than I do on either Twitter or Bsky, but I also feel like it's easy to lose track of any longer form discussion that doesn't just go off-platform and I get that this is probably the point, but it still bothers me somewhat.
yeah i dont feel theres a consistent site "vibe" if that makes sense. i tend to follow some similar people but theres no like... shared events
that said most "shared events" on twitter were "someone is being horrible" so shrug!!!
To be fair, yeah, most "shared events" on any website seem to be drama. The only "shared event" I can remember witnessing on here was alt-text drama and you better believe I had the sense to sit that one out.
i dunno, maybe someone on here will try to build an extremely dangerous zipline, we can live in hope
We need a groverhaus level happening again, something that can get referenced in 20 years time and people will immediately understand it.
maybe take one for the team and do something ill-advised to your abode?
I keep putting assorted nerd paraphernalia in my flat that's enough surely?
