GamingOnLinux has been on Mastodon for ages, Nov 21 2016 in fact!
But with the recent migration to Mastodon, I guess it couldn’t hurt to let people know you’re there already.
In our current unparalleled enterprise, refusal to switch platforms is simply a refusal to grow—an insistence on watching ads, if you will. Did the Digg user refuse to Reddit? It did not. It crept forth boldly while its brethren remained in the blackest ocean abyss, with lidless eyes forever staring at the dark, ignorant and doomed despite their eternal vigilance. Would we model ourselves on the Facebook user?
I really like Mastodon but it’s so hard to find other people that you have on Twitter. Lemmy is closer but i’m still gonna miss out on some small communities from Reddit
Yep, Mastodon takes some effort to get going. You need to find people who are interesting for you yourself, in order to seed your feed with interesting stuff. And it goes much smoother if you also interact yourself, which is where many lurkers, used to Twitter and its algorithm feeding them content, hit a wall. It’s just a completely different world in there.
The joke has probably gone over my head, but great to see.
It’s a parody of Dr. Breen’s “Welcome to City 17” speech from the start of Half-Life 2. If you’ve never played Half-Life 2, then it’s a very, very, very strong recommend from me.
Its basically the intro to the original Half-Life game. If you haven’t I’d highly suggest playing the original or getting Black Mesa which is a remake of the original by a third-party company but with Valve’s blessing to do so.
This is the intro to Half-Life 2, but the original and Black Mesa are great games as well.
