There is Goldfish, which was started with beeing some sort of TikTok alternative in mind. But it’s stuck in a very early stage and doesn’t seem to be developed anymore. If I remember correctly the Admin started it as a practice for themself to get more into Activity Pub.
They have a Mastodon account and a github page, maybe you can ask them there if they plan to develop it further. And since it is open source and can be forked by anyone and everyone can contribute to it, maybe someone will be found who is interested in continuing to work on the project.

On Goldfish’s github page I also found Vidzy by accident, where developement seems to be more active. However, I found no active instances so far where one could test it.

I think they should at least move away from Twitter entirely.

Guild Wars 2 was welcoming and including LGBTIAQ* folks from the start and has a huge and wonderful LGBTIAQ* community.
And with staying on Twitter they support a platform and its owner who is purposefully supporting and even promoting right wing anti-queer and anti-trans politics (DeSantis) and is explicitly allowing hate against queer people, especially trans folks. And I don’t think this is something ArenaNet wants or should be doing.

Actually, I think this is something nobody should be wanting or doing.

Yes, the OP has linked the announcement trailer. :)

Yes, thank You, I’ve already subscribed to one of them. :)

This news make me excited for two reasons.

First one is, because I heard about the new addon here in the fediverse first, before I even saw the announcement on the official website. Nice to see, that the fediverse, especially its content aggregators at the moment, is growing and some specific gaming content is arriving. :D

And the second one is of course the announcement of the addon itself. Looks pretty nice. Looking forward to the new story and new maps and the skyscale improvements sound nice. And I’m happy to see that legendary armor will be accessible to non raiders. The changes in the weapon system sound interesting, too, but I hope they get the balancing right. I mean, there was a reason that you couldn’t use every weapon of every elite specialization. On the other hand this could lead to some cool new synergies and builds. Not sure though which weapons I’m going to combine with my mesmer main. :D
