Feeling like mastodon gamedev place isn't actually that good of a place for gamedev people since it feels like it's not federating with more instances than the about section says. Not sure that's possible but it seems like it
Either that or there's been several strange coincidences of my and other people's posts not showing up on there

@vaartis As a mostly reply guy, I've been experiencing for a while more and more cases of people not even acknowledging my posts, but I attribute them to a) the other person being rude (that would be the case of the Godot maintainer), and/or b) most threads getting unmanageably large due to the influx of new users.

There could also be a c) option, namely, a change in the culture (i.e., people coming from Twitter not feeling the need to acknowledge most mentions).

@josemanuel I don't think he was rude, he probably didn't even see the post.. doesn't seem like the kind of person to do this, I think. but I've been wrong about such things so who knows. usually there's at least some kind of reaction but if there's nothing at all, not even a fav, it probably means the post didn't reach the person at all

@vaartis After conducting a very thorough investigation (which mostly consisted on looking at the posts in his profile for a couple of minutes), I'm doubling down on my previous opinion: he's just a self-important asshole.

But don't (ever) take my word for it. Whenever you want to know whether your posts reached someone or not, ask me to insult them and then quote post the insults mentioning them and saying something like: “Look what this horrible person said! I'm gonna block him and you should do the same! He's probably dangerous!” If after a day or two I'm blocked, that means he got it.

@josemanuel well, we'll probably never know for sure! I'm never sure about mastodon people, since their profiles are usually mostly reposts.

It's a great plan but if I execute it I'm going to feel bad because I feel like I actually know you somewhat and you don't seem like a bad person. I'm convinced someone who has chowder as their profile picture cannot be that bad of a person and I'm yet to be proved wrong.

@vaartis You can try a safer, but less scientific approach, then: use his work hashtag. I won't mention it here, but you can read it in almost everything the dude reposts. He clearly follows it.

And thanks for the kind words. If I ever turn to the dark side, I'll change my pfp to Ms. Endive or something so you can be warned.

@josemanuel maybe if I actually have something important to mention.. These pull requests will get some attention eventually, it's christmas after all and everyone is/was busy

Also yes that would be a good indicator lol
