The immense (to my eyes) advantage of Tumblr was to be able to crate your own place and to put thought and creation out there with a tagging system.
So you can change interests and it doesn't matter.
You can subscribe to people or to tags and unsubscribe seamlessly.
It's that liberty that i feel like we have yet to find again on any other platform.

If I choose an lgbtqia+ instance and handle, am i comfortable about it being revealed to all the other people from other instances i will interact with because of common interests ?
There's always one label (the instance handle) that'll stick to one's username, and it can be worn proudly, it can not matter at all, but it can also be a drawback from moving to Mastodon.

On Mastodon as a fandom place, how to choose between a generic fandom instance and one that is specific to one fandom ? How about when one's main interest changes to another fandom ? Moving to another instance isn't that seamless.
It's not even solely about fandoms : if i'm an anticapitalist lgbtqa+ who loves fandom art, how to choose between those several "communities" for my Mastodon instance and therefore handle ?

When one creates a Mastodon account, one has to choose an instance. The name of the instance is often revealing about what the instance main interest is about. Of course, one can follow and interact with all other instances, but here it's about the name of the instance that sticks to your username.
Thinking in terms of fandoms and having been a Tumblr user for years, my main fandoms drastically changed over the course of the 10 years i've had the same account there.

I read a thread over on Twitter about how one downside of moving to Mastodon was that instances were community spaces focusing on one/specific interest(s). As someone who's been here for a while, although sporadically, and thinking about how the fediverse could welcome fandom communities, it put words on a problem i didn't fully name before.

Recently I watched (then read, then re-watched) . Similarly to some of my friends, one of my first thoughts was "Was it based on a fic" ?
One thing leading to another I'm now having a rewatch.
And from the first eps, I keep thing thinking "Oh, how far have we come".

Dear Mastodon, it's been *months* since I last updated this account. I am have now played over 150hrs of and have just now finished the Battle of Kaer Morhen.
It feels like this will never end and I am happy for it.

I looked it up, spent (only) 76hrs on . Really thought it was more ? Felt like it anyway. But Witcher 3 has to be longer, then ?
I got nothing but time these days so I'm happy to spend them roaming the Continent.

I've gone from curiosity to delight so fast with . I'm already procrastinating the main quest by fear of it ending too fast while I spent 11 hrs on the gosh darn *prologue*.

I finally made my partner watch Going Postal. Slowly but surely inflicting Terry Pratchett classics on others is one of my great life pleasures.

I've been told that is the worst ot out the 3 games but I'm enjoying it a lot as of 5 hours into it.
I was less comfortable with point and click, this one is more immersive to me (and more of an open world, even if not completely).
Also it doesn't make me want to stab myself with a fork everytime Geralt talks to a woman.

Yesterday, I finished the first game. Despise some flaws (I mean, the LEVEL of sexism, some storytelling bugs and too-long travel times), I was absorbed in the game and wasn't tempted to give it up.
Onto .
