The one subculture/community I haven't seen much on Mastodon is #fandom. I know ppl from fandom on here, but there hasn't been a significant enough presence that I could find "my people".
Mastodon would be a great home for fandom. You can have per-fandom instances, or have a fandom-specific instance (preferred). There's built-in functionality for spoilers and cw's & ability to set per-instance rules for interaction. The segmentation of identity would be useful as well.
Somebody do the thing!
Legit tho guys (in the generic people/gender-neutral sense), the furries have more instances than fandom does. Hell, the Marxists and a dancing banana have one (it is unknown to me whether members are actually Marxists or dancing bananas). We should do this.
@pearwaldorf I feel like this could be an interesting (though still not ideal) space for fandom! Which is why I used this name and not my Twitter one when I made the account.
@pearwaldorf There's also a notable lack of #bronies.
@pearwaldorf until sb does the thing - i am looking for gif-heavy convos about #allthethings ;)
@pearwaldorf Yes, I was surprised by this - having, say, a #StarWars instance (or, rather, a few, why not) seems rather natural. Perhaps it was waiting for a cirtical mass.
