Good write up! It certainly made me nostalgic for the games of that era.
I didn’t believe you, so I looked up those cases. While there’s a little more nuance to the cases than your summaries, you are pretty spot on. We are all cursed with this disgraceful knowledge now.
Wow! I am truly enamored by this community and premise. (I don’t think I can contribute much besides some upvotes and encouraging words though.)
Great find! Anyone know the species?
You bring up legitimate concerns, but I think the bigger point here is that the Fediverse is not Reddit, nor should it be. I find that fragmentation mitigates the system manipulation and “gaming” that is often tied to people who rely on exposure.
I had no idea the self doubt could go deeper, until now… I guess I really am an imposter.
Dammit! I am sleep deprived and grumpy, but you got a good chuckle out of me… Thanks.
