I'm happy that we have all these new people join. It makes me hopeful that the landscape of the web can yet change for the better.
Slowly but surely a decentralized, non-commercial, and open-source platform is gaining a foothold.
@Gargron this whole site is just a ploy to get loads of new people introduced to the devin townsend project
@thewaether Damn, busted ๐

@thewaether @Gargron wow! The ploy worked on me! ๐
@thewaether @Gargron my face when I see the Devin Townsend project randomly referenced ๐๐๐๐
@thewaether @Gargron you rumbled us
@Gargron DW bro, just say a bunch of shit. There are no pube-faced hipsters to please!
You might need a publicist to keep people away from you now. The limelight blinds. Thanks BTW. 
@Gargron you'll get used to us ;)
@gargron I could tell the pressure was getting to you bc you forgot to add ๐
don't worry, we're here for you for plenty of ๐๐
well, FWIW, it's a pretty sentiment and a beautiful hope, and those haven't always been easy for me not to roll my eyes at, but this, I just smiled. I really like it.
it's a really lovely statement to make, and I mean that both in the words and in the actions.
here's hoping we see more good things down the line! ^_^
@Gargron FIX THE WEB GARGOTRON
@Stephen_Stone we're doin it!
@Gargron I joined yesterday and Iโm already so inspired by this community. A future for the internet where users can converse and collaborate without being exploited by advertisers truly is possible!!
@Gargron thank you, sir, for creating this wonderful world
This is really great. Just trying to figure out the platform. Felt like I was a rape victim on Facebook.
@Gargron I just want the internet to go back to having that feeling of excitement and fun that was around before most of it was taken over by half a dozen multi billion dollar companies.
That was way too fucking formal for my normal speech lmao I just feel the pressure from all the new people looking at me ๐ณ
