Well, calling myself a pony would explain a bunch of my hobbies and gear, lack of community engagement aside 🤣

What if I'm just doing stuff solo, without feeling the need to seek out community? Are solo ponies ponies? Or is herd seeking a requirement for legitimacy?

That's fair

Disappointing is understandable. An engineer who's excited about the passion they put into designing a car probably feels the same when the customer only cares about 'goes fast for the photoshoot'.

Does that mean having fun with a quick photoshoot and moving on to something else is wrong or bad?

Yea, pushing "you're not a real pony unless..." narratives can make newcomers anxious about upsetting the gatekeepers though. What if someone has gear, but doesn't have time or energy to do much more than a photoshoot or two a year? Show them the door? Not welcome? What's the criteria? Who decides?

3/3 - if an influencer got an expensive car and wrapped it around telephone pole, I wouldn't want them to be seen as an authority on driving either

2/? – while I totally understand the pushback against soulless like-farming, "you're not a real pony unless X or Y" catches a lot of legit ponies in the crossfire and encourages insecurity, and is literally gatekeeping. Phrasing is important but I get where you're coming from.

1/? - Strongly recommend holding the phrasing as "you don't need gear to be a pony" as opposed to "having gear doesn't make you a pony".

The former is supportive of newcomers, the later comes across as an exclusionary attack against 'posers'

That might be the best looking cow I've ever seen

I'm a happiness vampire. I enjoy the pursuit of hunting for ways to make experiences more enjoyable for myself and every thing/one around me. Creation, both independent and collaborative, tastes wonderful and complex.

Seeing others enjoying experiences brings me joy.

Also enjoys warm rocks
