I've seen temporary ones in libraries. Like they're only on certain days but are somewhat regular
I guess if this is the aromantic thread, I'm curious: how long did it take people to figure out they're aromantic? I realized I was queer at like 12 but it took till my 30s to realize I was aromantic, maybe cause I didn't know that was a thing until then and I thought I was just, like, failing to live up to my responsibility to find myself a relationship
I have a weekly game of Blades in the Dark right now! It's maybe actually my longest running campaign - stretching the limits of the system - also we're playing as cultists
there are some, but they tend to quickly become spam and nazi instances. I'm guessing even those ones defederate from the instances that only serve malware though
Hi everyone! I was born in Canada, live in the US, and Asian and mixed race. I'm generally a little vague about my real world identity online though beyond that. You can find me here on Mastodon: https://dice.camp/@seedling although it's basically all my TTRPG stuff.
I really like Mastodon, so much so that I have several accounts for different purposes. You do need to invest a bit of time into following a good number of people who post stuff you like, though. I was pretty active on Twitter and now I'm pretty active on Mastodon and I like Mastodon better, but I had to spend a little time searching hashtags for people posting cool stuff.
One thing that I haven't seen anyone mention is moderation - your experience will be better with a well-moderated, well-run server, otherwise you'll have issues with spam and maybe worse. Generally a medium-sized server based around a subject of interest or a geographic location works well, where the admins are actively involved in the community.
I really like it, although I keep it to people I know IRL. I'm considering making a TTRPG-specific public one though, does anyone know if books absolutely need to have an ISBN to work with that system?
One thing that I really like about it, vs say Goodreads or any site that is tied to a corporate bookselling system, is that you can use a rating system that works for you, using the full 1 to 5 stars, without worrying that you are causing financial harm to any authors, especially if you keep everything followers-only
