I’ve been playing a lot of Balatro, and also Chants of Senaar on the side.

Thinking of finally picking up HiFi Rush now that it’s finally on the PS5, which is pretty much the only system I get to game on these days.

While technically true, I think calling Mastodon the smallest amongst them is a little indigenous. After all, wasn’t the idea of ActivityPub “protocols, not platforms”?

For me personally, Mastodon opened me to the world of federated social media, and I’m now hosting my own AP-based single-user social media page running GoToSocial. My usage won’t add to Mastodon’s MAU’s count, but 90% of my interactions are with Mastodon users, and I think that’s the beauty of the system.

I’ve been keeping track of this tracker and since July 1, peak comments/post per minute have definitely gone down. Although as the site mentions, you really shouldn’t draw any firm conclusions from that. Just interesting to see.
