Point being, all of us that are here are the ones cool enough to come here. We are unified by the desire for a better social media that is not-for-profit and user driven. And that makes this community unique compared to the scabs advocating for Reddit. The people who will belong here will come here. :)
tangentially related but I like source-engine games a lot, and I think the jank of TF2, Gmod, Portal 1, HL2, etc. made me accustomed to buggy software. I know Steam is a buggy mess under the hood, especially in the betas, but I just kinda… deal with it? It made the transition to kbin a lot more smooth than it probably should’ve been. And I got a 429 error multiple times when signing up!
There’s a certain authenticity to software that feels like it’s held up by duct tape, whether it’s a game or a website.
