@aras Surprisingly, this is an entirely Twitter thing. There was no any real spilling anywhere else and the rest of the communities continued as if nothing.

Anyone I know not on Twitter has not even heard of it.

It seems most of the games/tech industry people moved here, and a lot of gamedevs moved to bluesky.

@reduz yeah I dunno, just a while ago (after Godot Meta blog post) Akien was lamenting that on mastodon the news got the most "hate", and good reactions elsewhere. Every corner has their own weirdness for what becomes pointless drama. Twitter might have most "anti-woke", Masto might have most "anything commercial is evil", etc.

@aras I will always prefer the extremes on this side to be honest 😅

@aras @reduz i was very puzzled by Akiens post earlier. I guess everyone's experience is a bit different, but it made me sad to consider that we are the problem child 🤣

Twitter being Twitter really affirms that I'm happy to be HERE though. Hope Godot socials don't leave us.

@aras @reduz Both are ridiculously insufferable. Mastodon’s saving grace is non algorithmic discovery perhaps, as it limits the reach to human connections. Still, I wish Mastodon had a healthier and more productive attitude.

@aras @zeux @reduz tbh I would not be at all surprised if the main reason the twitter stuff got so bad is just that it got picked up by the king gamergate grifter mark kern. The network effects are kind of random until they hit one of the asshole celebs and then at that point you have no choice but to lock everything down. Mastodon is more like the worst of programming reddit or hn or phoronix than that truly performative grifter driven outrage farming :')

@reduz @aras It makes perfect sense that this is Twitter thing because Musk has been trying to turn Xitter into a right-wing site since the start. He's been promoting all the alt-right grifters and diminishing everyone else. You may have been too focused on Godot to see it happening, but I assure you, Xitter is not Twitter anymore. It's the nazi bar.

@reduz @aras A number of Youtube videos are trying to capitalize on it too. They're coming up now when I'm trying to find information on Godot. 😞

@reduz @aras

Why return to twitter at all? It's run by the modern Sir Oswald Mosly.
