1 month agoJust remember this when you see people complain about having to pick a server when joining Mastodon. It’s not that, maybe it’s just not easy/intuitive lile PixelFed is making it? I don’t know.
And then when people were joining, I just saw them complaining about all the anger/aggression on Mastodon. It may’ve missed a big jump on point with Bluesky’s rise, but there will invariably be more. People just have to be ready and willing.
FYI “darling” can also be used with a spouse or romantic partner. Your husband or girlfriend can be your “darling” just like “honey” or “baby”. It has a similar meaning in this case, where “darling of the group” means everyone really likes them, even if not sexual/romantic.
And this use, “darling of the ____”, is a slightly older, but relatively common, saying.
