Good morning/afternoon mud community. I just wanted to make a post telling everyone working on mudlet how much I appreciate their hard work. You guys are awesome!...
I just started playing Starmourn through Mudlet. Really a lot of fun. Started writing scripts to somewhat mimic the Nexus client targeting. I'm starting to spend more time scripting in lua for that then I am actually playing.
Prior to the protest reddit was in full support of the protest. Most polls on subs supported a shutdown. Now, seemingly every community cant understand why the protest was needed and they're calling it a mod power trip. There is a 3rd possibility. This is an unfounded conspiracy but reddit themselves could be manipulating...
Back when it was first becoming known that Facebook was passively allowing human trafficking groups and was generating revenue from those groups, I asked around different anti-human trafficking collectives whether or not they would continue to use the platform given ad revenue from their users goes towards creating safe spaces for those bad actors. I received silence from every single one of them. They ignored that question and continued to post how we all need to fight for trafficking victims (very marketing style posts if that makes sense).
Some people are just so engrained in platforms that it doesn't matter what a platform does. When faced with a choice between comfort and ethics, they choose comfort at the expense of all else.
Ah, but that's point. What is more important: anti-human trafficking or the message of anti-human trafficking? They don't get to decide what a platform does, but they do get to decide their use of that platform.
What kind of absurd drug addiction do you have to have to stay working at Twitter and not leave? I mean, just how massive is your student loan debt to put yourself through that?
DMs, we always hear about nightmare players who ruin the table, but I was curious if any of you have any stories about players who were just amazing to play with. Players who found appropriately creative solutions to problems, had fun/unqiue roleplaying takes, or even just meshed really well with your campaigns. Any good...
“The mention of abortion advocacy is the issue here,” a Twitter employee told North Carolina candidate Rachel Hunt, according to emails HuffPost reviewed.
Twitter blocks promotion due to lack of pro-hate crime messaging. "We really need to see the vile amped up moving forward" a Twitter employee mentioned before asking for any loose change and then climbing back into the nearby dumpster/breakroom.
I know that there are old timers on the #Fediverse that far exceed my 7-8 months, but I suspect that watching this #Lemmy/#Kbin stuff is similar to the #MastoMigration. It is so cool and exciting! Things moving too fast, breaking, fixing, sharing hacks & work arounds, crashing, restoring, etc. I love it.
“DeSantis currently has a net approval rating of negative 19 points….with 55 percent of respondents disapproving of him, compared with 36 percent who have a favorable view….”
Yeah, I noticed that too. I'm not sure if that's just due to that being local content and maybe mirroring remote content is slowed down with all the new activity and instances coming online. I also see in user settings a text box for "Featured Magazines" but I can't find any documentation on what/how that works. I would figure it would prioritize those mags, but I'm not sure of anything yet.
Is that something we can already do or do you mean that as an idea? That's a neat idea if so. I don't think a user's subscription page is locked out, so might be neat to replace the random mag block with newly updated subscribed mags via greasemonkey script or something.
I read their post explaining the decision, but it seems like it is at odds with itself. If your goal is to create a safe space, why are you using a federated service? I understand you have the option to defederate, but at that point why didn't you just setup a standalone message board. It just feels that their use case doesn't fit the system.

Did the reddit hivemind do a 180 or are the people left behind just the people who don't care.

what does it mean that Beehaw "defederated" from lemmy.world?
I thought I understood, but I still have Beehaw content in my feed, so I guess I don't understand after all... Can someone dumb it down for me?
