Doing marketing on #Mastodon is so fucking much work. In almost a year, I couldn't even double the follower count of @vala_langVala (now almost 1k)
And engagement is still not that much. Rarely there are replies to our posts.
We are not a business, we don't want growth growth growth, we just want to build our own small community in the fediverse. Isn't that what it is meant for?
Without a community the project will die. #Vala is an open source project like many others.

I need a break.
