Author here! Agreed that are different levels of "engaged" from users, which is okay. The concerning part of this finding is that even dependent users that I know to be highly engaged didn't respond to the deprecation warnings, so they're not working for even the most engaged users.

OP here, I either didn't know or completely forgot this XKCD existed and it resurfaced as a good idea haha! Time to update the post lol

As someone who doesn't drink alcohol, I get what you're saying. But I also don't judge others for indulging and similarly don't let how I want to live my life get in the way of attending group events. At bars I order sparkling waters, soda, or a non-alcoholic cocktail and don't make a big deal out of it and it hasn't failed me yet :)

Author here: Agreed that there's certain dynamics that are different in public social web spaces compared to an office, honestly I am curious if the "online->action" barrier to be overcome with an extremely loose association (in this case: enjoys donuts), so we'll see!

iirc a "starter pack"-like feature is being worked on, they would no doubt be useful for new folks looking to quickly find their communities in the Fediverse.

I think this experiment is a little different though, I want to explore how a simple human desire that doesn't have an "identity", like eating a baked good, can "manifest" more horizontally in a digital space :)

Oh really, podcasting 2.0 has payments? I need to look at that.

A big motivator for me is that I know I spend a lot on web creators already, but I want to spend money across more creators without necessarily linearly increasing my spend. Managing tons of tiny subscriptions is much harder without book-keeping technology. Having something machine-readable to help with that mission would be great.
