This seems like a rather really hyeprspecific use case than "the reason platforms like Matrix don't get as much traction as Discord".
It was a pull request to add opt-out analytics that got blown out of proportion, where the real issue was the EULA and how tonedeaf of a move it was considering the community around Audacity. IIRC, they ended up replacing it with opt-in analytics.
Humanity's secret weapon: power walking
Now that's a shower thought
Huh, it didn't actually tell the steps
I know the most likely answer is just that they've never seen the movie at full, but I truly don't get what people see in Bateman. Man's pathetic. He has a mental breakdown because of presentation cards, kills a random man and his dog because he was made to look bad in front of his circle and couldn't retort back, his monologues read like an edgy 13 year old trying to sound cool and badass, he solely puts sex and violence on TV and barely looks at it even, spends all day playing around in his office instead of working and constantly speaks in an incredibly obvious fake pretentious voice.
Even in his killer side, he constantly trips over himself and panics every time the detective questions him, he craves approval even from his victims and much much more.
He's so lame its funny how so many people see him as this weird superior sigma chad when he's anything but.
Self diagnosed? Definitely
Actually, properly diagnosed? Probably underdiagnosed actually. Friend of mine had to go through a lot of pricey hoops just to get tested in a reputable place.
"Weird" TLDs tend to be cheaper. .social is also supposed to be made for this in the first place
A small drunk goblin in every server throws a dart at a handwritten piece of paper with every post ever
Soo Hatsune Miku?
Also a demonstration of the true backbone of social media: shitposters.
Unironically. Just look how shitposting pretty much keeps Tumblr alive these days
Its the absolute lack of algorithm. No, really. I know Mastodon toots it as a feature, but without an algorithm to keep people scrolling most people just close the app and do something else. People who don't understand instances would just go to mastodon.social anyway, but since no mastodon instance is actively trying to keep its users engaged 24/7, people naturally realize they have better things to do than to use social media all say.
Which is better for humanity, but bad for retention.
