Another vote for this series. Cherryh’s books are some of my favorites!

Garak.

Ultimately it’s his instance, his liability if shit goes sideways, so his call to make.

I don’t think it’s the end of democratic anything, and it seems to be more because another instance took action and defederated than the call of a single person, because context matters.

The statement referenced said there was no responsive administration at rammy as reported by a rammy user and attempts to reach admins by others were not successful.

That’s very different from what you’re trying to claim.

Yeah, you’re not winning points by becoming aggressive with the people who you want on your side.

This isn’t Reddit, and that’s kind of the point. I do want higher standards here and the way to make your point is with words, not slurs.

Bring receipts. Link posts if that’s your thing, screenshots if you want.

I took a screenshot of what and who I found objectionable, which I am willing to share, however I won’t post it publicly because it’s (to me) hate speech.

I was browsing through /all and had the misfortune of finding a transphobic post from the site. Blocked user and community but if that’s an indication of what they’re putting out, hard pass on the rest of it.

As someone in that weird space of end GenX/too early to be Millennial, I support you.

That would take effort. Does anyone from GenX really wanna do that?

Lain was one of those anime that when I was introducing it to someone there was a “no questions, only experience” policy in place.

It’s a thing. There’s nothing less attractive than having to play parent to an adult who can’t pull their own weight in managing a household.

Can’t recognize that a full trash can needs to go out without being told? Can’t realize dishwashers that are full need to be run without reminding? Can’t find where clothes need to go when they’re clean?

If that workload is falling on one person most of the time, over time it can become a source of resentment.

When both people have full time jobs, it’s like coming home to a second job.

Went from hating antiquities to being a level 10 when I found that out.

Also having too many Sixth House tables, but hey, every apartment has one now?

Jack Thompson has entered the chat.

This takes me back to how much time I spent on these games and how much I loved them.

Aye

Wasn’t from our server, came from outside. But it was within minutes of the post. It got downvoted and reported and was handled fast. A sort by new should show you where it used to be.

It’s all good. I’ve been on and off the thread today and mostly sorting by new as I respond to things. I’ve been noting new accounts that only have activity here. Mostly they’ve been on the other side of the issue from me personally but it would be dishonest to ignore the ones that aren’t, imo.

I’ve been here like 3 weeks and I still don’t know how to do everything (no idea how to DM people, haven’t bothered to look it up :P).

I hope you find some communities you like and that the vibe fits what you’re looking for! Welcome to our growing pains in action.

Eh, this one simple comment immediately brought in a troll posting racist images that resulted in deletion and a ban. It didn’t stay up for long thanks to swift action, but it lets you know the kind of people that are waiting to take advantage of any opening to be unpleasant people.

38 minute old account posting only here.

Just FYI, try reading the post first. It’s not a vote thread.
