Oh man, this is awesome - it’s wonderful hearing from the practitioners of the art!
I’m just trying to figure out what driver establishing the tipping point for breaking or the ban hammer - is there any empirical data to drive these decisions, or is the fediverse user base small enough that you act on “feel” or “professional instinct”?
Managing emerging technologies fascinates me so any input - including the germs you’ve already volunteered - is very much appreciated 👍
That’s a strong viewpoint and I appreciate where you’re coming from, but how many votedicks does it take to derail a post? I appreciate the fediverse is reasonably small in comparison to othe headline social media sites, but does banning one or two bots or people do enough to save posts from getting bombed?
Thamk you for the insight, instance administrator views are valuable and unique.
At the risk of sounding like I’m presenting a bad faith argument, why ban them? I don’t like the whole “free market” analogy but surely it’s one of the liberating features of federated servers, being able to to largely express your votes or content as you see fit within the legal framework of the host nation. Wouldn’t the odd one or two mass downvoters/upvoters/theyvoters ultimately be a statistical abberation or is the fediverse still small enough for this sort of shit to carry weight?
Open criticism of my view welcome, as always!
Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?
It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!
I would argue that there is indeed a whole lot of fun, and there may be prizes to be won.
I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?
I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.
I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.
I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.
I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.
Je vais «fuckin’ subscribe» toute de suite
Grammar and syntax aside, it’s basically /me_irl for our German-speaking compadres. Most other languages - French included - generally have a community analogous to most of the popular English-language communities.
HouseHouse really need to make another Untitled Goose Game, or even just an expansion pack. That was great fun.
I hate that about disability assessments run by those Capita bastards. The whole “well you got here okay so you can’t struggle with mobility”.
No you fucking arsewomble, it’s just threatening the means to purchase the basics and essentials is worth the physical agony it causes going to your human zoo and jumping through your arbitrary hoops, you daft walking talking fannyflap.
I hate making it personal but I can’t see how anyone would voluntarily stick at a job like that.
Is it me that finds it weird signing off her own tweets with her name, when her username is literally right there?
It’s just a shame the (presumably US-based) healthcare system is a clusterfuck, because that bit of expensive paper with a diagnosis on it would likely open up a whole host of avenues for exploration of the condition.
The waste is a fair point - storage isn’t a long term solution but then I suppose it can be managed in the interim, not like the effects of climate change.
I’m not seeing your point of “nukes” though?
Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
Is she the one that works for Nintendo, and saw Luigi in Super Mario 64 but she switched it off before it could save?
Like Microsoft Sam trying to do the Doric accent after a few pints.
I always found it wild how they released Ring and Rasen on the same day - and even though one film was overwhelmingly more popular, the storyline was further fragmented with Spiral, Ring 2, and Ring Virus going in different directions… even before the west decided to go freestyle with Ring 2 and Rings.
I haven’t even gotten to watch the Sadako v Kayako films yet!
Ah I see you like the idea of England then 🔥🔥 💯
Nah seriously though, if someone paid me off to GTF somewhere warm and slightly less comfortable, i’d be all over that like a cheap suit.
Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.
Oh I like a pessimistic view - partly because it makes a discussion spicier, but also because it’s important for a user to understand the power that an instance owner wields!
