I don't go anywhere that attendance is required. On this one, I'm with Felix. I seem to recall that some jabber/xmpp and IRC clients have plugins to connect with Mastodon, so that might be a possibility, but then I would still have to log in and use my account regularly. There are some jabber accounts that I often go for years and years without ever using. I try to remember to start them up once in a blue moon or so, just to keep them active, to see if I have got messages, but usually when somebody wants to communicate over jabber, I have some advance notice, and know to keep checking for messages. Otherwise, there's no reason. In this case, there is a requirement to participate regularly. Has anybody ever heard of books? Very low-tech, and if you find the right books, you are guaranteed endless hours of enjoyment and relaxation, no distractions from machines and phones and devices. Also, books are much easier to use.
