where do you see fedi in 10 years?

I see it growing a lot and being used even more than it is now, particularly with birdsite crashing the way it is. I also see people branching out from just Mastodon and discovering the other networks like Misskey. fingers crossed

Political question: I am the true conservative, unlike those evil politicians. Under my rule, coffee will become a controlled substance given the number of addicts. Do you agree with my moral righteousness?

Not at all! Not even a little. I'm "addicted" to coffee. If it became illegal, I'd buy it on the street tbh. XD Coincidentally, cannabis is in the process of becoming legal here, it seems. It's been decriminalized, and there are dispensaries popping up all over the place. I was doing it a lot for a while.

How much money do scammers have? I mean, they have call centers and hire people just for phishing calls.

Some of them have millions of dollars, believe it or not. I watched an episode of Trafficked recently where reporter Mariana van Zeller interviews some scammers in Uganda. They're very good at what they do and have made a ton of money at it. Like you said, they have call centers, actors, etc.

What was the last thing you purchased frivolously (i.e. not a necessity)?

Gummi worms. Although it was kind of for mental health reasons - is that a necessity?

Are you going to a food and drink festival this weekend?

Wasn't planning on it, but I will be going to a game night tonight, and probably shopping at a farmers' market!

ask all yall should like. use this as an excuse to ramble ab your interests :3

Y'all should like cats. I think they get a bad rap in some circles, but they can be really sweet, cuddly, and affectionate. They just have boundaries, like humans do, as well as sensory issues and routines - they're kind of like autistic people (of which I am one!).

Do you think people are running out of songs to sing?

There's been a lot of remakes this year.

As per my comment, I don't think it's the singers themselves, but rather the producers and record labels. They see covers and remakes as easy money, because they're recognizable and possibly marketable to older generations too. Even the streaming services, which are somewhat known for more innovation, have a lot of sequels and remakes as well.

Are you going to comic con this year?

Apparently not since it's sold out, but I do like conventions, and that is the sort of thing I would enjoy. Maybe I'll go next year; I'm already taking a lot of trips this year!

Do you too follow some streamers on Twitch? What type of content do you like? Can you name some good ones?

Yes, I do! I follow a few gamer streams, artists, and DJs. DJs are one of my "spins" (the autism thing). My friend "Caelor" is a gaming channel I follow; he plays a lot of RPGs and old-school video games. I also follow Valkyrae and Sykkuno (famous gaming channels), and the DJs "HANAWINS" and "ThalestrissUwU."

Should singers be able to sing songs they wrote and have backing vocals on at there concert? Even if that song is more known by a different singer?

Of course, why not? Are you thinking of a specific song/singer? For example, Bob Dylan wrote the song "Blowin' in the Wind," but many people have covered it. I still think he sings it at concerts, though. He also wrote "All Along the Watchtower," and Jimi Hendrix's version is probably more famous, but I would imagine Dylan still sings it too.
