Notes -
Does anybody else feel like the Motte is their internet home?
I go to other websites. I probably spend more time on them than here.
But the Motte just feels cozy to me. It's where I usually check first, and where I get most excited if I see a lot of activity. Something about this place pulls at my heartstrings.
Yeah, definitely. I post only here and on a few other obscure hobby forums, and I avoid all other social media.
Plus, any time I post a very thoughtful analysis of something on a hobby forum, I get very little engagement because my kind of analytical dissection isn't really what most people are looking for from their social media. I can't post clapback tweets, I can't do it, so the motte is the only place online that tolerates my kind of lengthy diatribes. Fortunately I have a few people in real life who seem to appreciate having those kinds of discussions with me.
I use this place to refine being able to have those discussions. It's very valuable as a rubber-duck service.
