Which large social network is he in charge of, anyways?

I can't imagine GW2's playerbase has declined that far, has it? I know I had my reasons for quitting, but those were far from majority view (I was a get-off-my-lawn WvW-er).

I'm seeing German now as well.

I think this speaks more for the size of mastodon than anything else

@bb36e Clearly "large" is very relative when it comes to social networks...

@hungrier Weirdly enough, I'm seeing English.

Yesterday, someone asked on the Reddit if the game was dead and someone pointed out that they just walked into a room with two hundred thousand other people in it and asked if anyone was in the room.
"This game is dead" is the kind of thing players of GW2 say to each other when a few hundred of them are taking on a boss simultaneously.

He runs an instance. Each individual instance is centralized.
(Also, he's the guy in charge of the open source project.)
