So now that we have Posts, how has it been impacting your Mastodon usage (if you’re on it)?

Posts is a much narrower community, so hasn’t affected it. It’s nice because a lot of my industry friends are here, but I have no desire to talk about or be around designers 100% of the time and that’s my main worry going forward. Without other viewpoints, things stale quickly.

Totally here this. I can see my industry friends *attempting* to talk about other stuff 😅 but a lot of the topics are design-adjacent. So I’ll likely continue to explore Mastodon. That said, it’s refreshing how simple, lightweight, and respectful things have been on here.

I like both, but somehow I don’t feel feel 100% comfortable on either. I feel like mastodon tries really hard to be a good place but to me it sometimes feels self righteous. Posts, meanwhile, feels familiar because of the design community but I’m not a designer…

I just want a place for me to be able to post dumb stuff tbh

Let’s post dumb stuff together! I’ll start. I’ve sadly been allergic to avocado since 2020. Still, I couldn’t pass up this tree ornament

I am also allergic to avocado! Solidarity and my sympathies!

Oh gosh for maybe two decades now? It’s rough, especially at sushi or Mexican restaurants. Most folks are nice but there’s always one server every so often that raises an eyebrow at me and I feel like I have to be like “I’m SO sorry - I’m really not a picky eater! I promise!”

Do you have that problem too?

Yeah every now and then for sure 😞
