Some good stuff he had but no reply after trying to contact even for simple stuff, getting nothing means it's like a read-only type thing.
So can't recommend on that front / participation etc.
I understand not everyone is a 'publicity person' but basically something isn't quite right for movement (for me at least) when you get nothing back even for saying a standard reply.
Here's my pumpkin grown just as a visual bonus
@ernie @stevelord I see your message ernie, and I saw Steven's, but freeschool's post is not federating to me, so I dunno what this is in reference to.
@ajroach42 @stevelord Basically I failed to respond to the guy’s message a month ago, and I was just trying to defend myself.
@ajroach42 @stevelord I admit I’m more on Twitter these days, but that said it wasn’t personal.
@ernie @stevelord looks like we have the whole instance blocked for "suspicious and abusive behavior"
@ernie @stevelord @ajroach42
I have no doubts
- people are busy
- and there may be technical problems
- and the will or gamble to talk to really talk to people as a normal is not necessarily embedded
So I do sympathise but somewhat don't accept it as viable which probably just reflects how life is itself but somehow I believe I can do better with my time or need to.
No need defend yourself, just increment checking my profile without being repulsed would be great, probably with a cup of tea from time to time... 🍵 or glass of wine🍷
My aim or ideal is for everyone to juggle together / give excuse to work together / participate.
@freeschool OK, getting back to this. Just being honest, this is not a priority platform for me at this time. It’s a time factor among other things. If I commit to bringing Tedium to Mastodon—or anything similar, honestly—I want to do it right.
Ultimately I think you’d have a more disappointing experience if I did bring it on here and it didn’t meet your expectations. I’ll keep it in mind in the future, however, and note the interest.
@ernie
Appreciate the reply and frankness.
I notice a test would be best, since you're guessing on my behalf and ultimately I see 0 of it now - so I think it's a low bar if that's something you're worried about - I personally prefer anything that pings my notification here on this space and reminds me that way (without expecting the world at my feet either) but more than any other space this works (probably it's alignment to my/our politics as a 'safest' space or decent people here).
But if no test, not even a copy and paste here, nothing, then ok!
Appreciate you looked at this,
it's good you close doors or open them for a bit of a test or even for audience feedback here on Mastodon. Anyway thanks.
@freeschool @stevelord @ajroach42 I send out two 2,000-plus-word newsletters a week on top of a day job. Sometimes people are juggling a lot.
