It's a symbol of wealth. They want you to know the brand because it tells others they have the means to afford it.

I totally agree with you, though. It's tacky.

Can't wait to see the third act where alucard gets stun locked by gold Medusa heads in the clocktower

I'm definitely not the one to ask.

Well of course I know him, he's me (not anymore thankfully, but I have had to write that kind of copy before)

I said this a while ago on another thread, but if I was a Dev on the project I would be working to create a website that automatically signs you up for an instance. The high level concept is instances would opt into this pool, the user would simply put in their username like any regular website, and then the system would create them an account on whichever instance was best for them (maybe based on ping/trying to spread population around).

This would majorly reduce the barrier to entry in my opinion, because a lot of people just want to browse, and don't care about the federation aspect at all.

I don't think it's weird. Right now it probably isn't great cause the pool of commenters is already small, and this dilutes it further, but I think in a world where we had plenty of people in all those communities it would be fine.

It does suck on the posting aide, though, and it also seems like there might be some use to a tool/feature that merges them somehow so you're viewing it all together and respond to whoever you like in one place.

I have a mostly politics free feed that I've cultivated. Some always leaks in here and there, but if it's an account that only posts that kind of content I just block them.

I definitely can see how relentless the politics posting is when I go to all, though.

I can't speak for OP, but personally it makes my bullshit detector kick into high gear any time a corporate channel talks in a casual, friendly tone like that. It comes across as very insincere and infantalizing to me.

Funny how the key stakeholders are never on the chopping block, huh?

Wow, that letter to employees was even soulless by corporate non-apology standards.
