Online Gaming, really.

Actually an interesting place where I've started to get to know people online (wouldn't call them friends...yet) is on Mastodon. I joined a smaller instance kinda on a whim and it's been nice. Think there are <300 users, and only maybe 50 are active commenters? It reminds me of the early days of Twitter when it was fun to talk with complete strangers. My instance is somewhat politics-based, but we all post and talk about our personal lives and interests, too. For example, we have some trans users who talk about their struggles. Others of us talk about gaming. Jobs, travel, and tech comes up too. It's not just politics. But there is a lot of memeing and joking around. It really does feel like a little community.

Ahhh nice. I don't really do the gaming much but that's given me things to think about
