So, I've been running mastodon.gamedev.place since late 2017. Beginning of this year, it was very slowly limping along, and I thought maybe there's no point. But then Things happened, and it's almost 10k users right now. Conversations & activity finally seems to be picking up.

I still don't like Mastodon UI, whole decentralisation concept is too complex, etc. etc. But! There's no ads, and timeline is chronological.
And I made a logo image for the server, so that's something. (gotta have a logo to submit server to joinmastodon.org registry)

Thank you for doing this!! Are you considering asking for donations / a patreon to support it?

Hey, I wanna migrate, but I have questios...
It tells me to choose a server to create an account. Is it like Discord servers, completelly apart? Can I use the same account on other servers? If the server I created the account dies (can this happen?), does my account goes with it?

This is like email. You can follow people from other accounts. You can transfer your account to another server. If a server dies and you haven't transferred, then yeah your account dies. I'd suggest reading some mastodon tutorial.

I like Twitter and I hope things go well over here rather than the spectacular crash & burn some predict and many fear.
But the gamedev mastodon has already become a great place, a warm community in the social space. It makes me feel safe and confident that things will work out.
