Hey, I'm sorry to do this yet again, but I'm going to be more active on witchcraft.cafe because it more actively harbors the discussion I joined Mastodon for. Feel free to friend me there, I post random stuff now and then as well. :crescent:

(I feel like this instance is still better for more serious talk, witchcraft.cafe seems better suited for lightweight subjects)

@kara @ivydarkmoon I think the latter is federated with the former so I can still see some of it, yeah?

By lightweight, do you mean spirituality vs. uspol/social justice?

@ivydarkmoon @ivydarkmoon oh I meant like hard core philosophy of magick, talking about the nature of reality, getting really analytical and critical about it. witchcraft.cafe seems better for lighter-weight topics

@kara @ivydarkmoon I haven't seen said discussion pop up but I've not been on Mastodon much lately. Would be happy to see it in either instance :).

@ivydarkmoon @ivydarkmoon so far as I can tell I'm the only one that even tries, and none of my long-form toot storms about magick or anything else here has ever provoked much response beyond a flurry of favoriting and maybe the occasional retoot and the even rarer "that was cool" response.

still hoping one day to get an actual discussion, some day

or at least someone else talking about _why_ they do what they do, instead of just going over the superficial forms of things

(er, that got a little salty there, didn't it)

@kara @ivydarkmoon @ivydarkmoon It's a hard discussion to have spontaneously unless both parties have some proportion of shared axioms and respect.

For example I love reading your stuff, but it's half a world removed from my daily practices so I've little to add that would be on topic. I try for a couple of historical footnotes or contextual comparisons if I can.

@kara
Well, I'm not sure that I'm your prime audience. I tend to treat this stuff as a librarian or a collector. Kinda the exact opposite of a chaos witch :P so I try not to cramp your style.
