Closed playtests are usually with very in-development builds. People post the barely functioning game to social media and the game gets bad press. Release day rolls around and no one buys it because "that was that one game that looked bad a while ago"
This seems like a stupid train of thought but a lot of people think like this
I will kill the next ascii cat I need to rate helpful to pet
I use it as well. People hating it completely is weird. I get that for profit is stinky but most people don't complain about that, they complain about it using a different protocol. As long as it is foss, (which it is) using a different protocol is fine, especially because their whole point of developing their own protocol is to achieve feature parity with Twitter

Depends on the writer, chances are that those in the bbc who are involved with the mastodon instance are the nerds (like us) and the writer of this article doesn't know as much and is just listing the places the MPs went, and they are politicians so they wouldn't know about the "nerdy options"
Not my story but my dad's. He was in London for work and was using the public transit. I don't know if it's like this anywhere else but uk buses throw you around a lot.

The bus starts and the Americans just go flying and the entire bus of brits are just laughing at them.
Great ancestors!
Setting a task to look at the task is next level procrastination I could only dream of achieving
I heard you got a referral, remember all those times I've helped you with (insert problem)? You wouldn't mind if I asked for a referral from you?
If only brexit didn't happen...
