My review soundtrack for today will be the #Fedivision Song Contest playlist which can be found at https://fedivision.party/
Fedivision is "our" answer to the #ESC, where musicians from the fediverse compose a song for a (usually fictional) country. Voting is done through a bot interaction, so all users of mastodon and other fediverse platforms can decide on the winner.

All that to say,
If you want to get to know some cool kids on Scholar, welcome, pull up a seat, the coffee machine is in the kitchenette over there
But if you want to maximize user engagement with your brand, I'll kinda be actively putting up roadblocks to that kind of behaviour here and you'll eventually get frustrated and leave

Hey everyone, I've had a few people ask and I'm not having problems with the moderation work-load, but thanks for checking!

It’s kind of absurd that this bundle is priced at just $5. I bumped my payment up to a multiple of that. I encourage you to do the same if you can afford to.
