A discussion about the ethics of being a content creator or a fan and the implications of that influence.

Exactly, but what, personally, I feel is worse is that they let those comments feed to each other, like-minded bigots. Allowing it to fester together and create a rot in the forest that eventually spreads outward taking the woods down with it.

Gatekeepers ruin everything; they will always be there, waiting in the shadows to tell you how you aren’t really that into something—or letting you know that what you like isn’t respectable enough to be a fan.

We have all experienced it, no matter what community it is, no matter what kind of fandom. You will always have someone trying to gatekeep what it means to be a fan—telling you the barrier you have to meet in order to “really” appreciate something.

Being completely transparent I don't care if there are any health risks associated with it for the greater population. I am just allergic to it and it gives me the worst shits possible, so if we could stop putting it in things that would be killer. It's in every gum now so I just can't buy gum anymore.

I would say if your able to master bloodborne sekiro should be a breeze to adapt to. Still a challenge ofcourse, but not so bad.

Its not that hard to fathom when you have worked with these types of people.

All it was was a numbers meeting, no User Experience folks in the room. They said how much revenue they would increase quarter over quarter, and how much engagement it would drive. Everyone claps, the meeting ends they move forward with the next terrible design decision. Companies no longer take focus group testing seriously for anything.

Science already has an established method for debating and refuting scientific findings/claims. So this idea that we need to make a spectacle out of it is so disingenuous on its face. "oh but if they know what they are talking about it would be easy to defend in a debate", but it goes the other way. Then they keep moving the goal posts on what qualifies as a "real" scientific test, and I just can't have a good faith conversation with these people. I'll correct people in real life, but the internet is a cesspool and I don't have the patience.

Yakuza - any of them honestly. They run so well on the SD it’s incredible.

I use discord for 2 things, my personal group chat with friends that I manage, and keeping up with Mechanical Keyboard artisan shops and manufacturers. So I mean it wont be a huge leap for me to migrate to something better.

This is essentially where I am with it. I get the outrage but for now I don’t have an issue. But likely as with many things lately, we should maybe pursue the federated option.

Yeah adding to this if you just removed every post (like some subreddits) then no one knows what was removed and why. Sure with lemmys mod log you could deep dive in to find the reason (if given) but publicly saying “calm down not welcome behavior” can be a useful tool to reinforce to everyone where the administrators stand. It also provides a transparency to everyone else to also allow us to keep our admins in check. Well as far as we can given we don’t own the instance as users.

Your client may show it and your instance may collect the locally but once your instances syncs with Beehaw again it will update. At least that’s my understanding - not sure if there is someone with a better understanding about federated instances and how they handle downvotes.

On here? not possible, the beehaw community this is hosted on has downvotes disabled. Unless you mean on yt which all i can say to that is "its youtube".

 

Hey Beehaw support folks!

Is there an official policy on multiple accounts? I realized that I defaulted to my backup username (this one) and attempted to claim Stewie. I was able to submit my application and I am pretty sure its just waiting for approval (no rush) But I can't tell if the existing user I found with /u/Stewie is the one I made or if someone elsemade it at the same time I did.

 

Often times when playing I would find myself struggling to motivate to keep climbing the ladder when I hit so many losses in a row. With the introduction of Conquest mode I have something else to try and redirect to, the free tier means I can load up a deck I have wanted to test but didn’t want to risk my ladder position.

Curious what other people think of the new mode?
