Like ghosts?

The server was torn to shreds by raccoons. That’s what I heard.

“But -”

Doot

I can pet my cat

I am quite old and responsible when I’m not here?

Great job!

This has been kicking around for so long, I wonder where it originally came from!

Absolutely! I think it will be good to keep an eye how users, communities and the mods and admins of different instances respond - because where the line is drawn or isn’t, or when people stay silent on important issues happening on their servers or in their communities can speak volumes. (I’m not saying I have seen anything like this yet, not implying anything - just interested to see how things will unfold over time and hopeful for the future!)

There is plenty of rudeness, hostility, and general toxicity and bigotry to go around. But there is also a lot of kindness, thoughtful consideration, and people who want to do the best for the platform and communities forming here.

I feel like the amount of more challenging or unwanted behaviour has gone up just in the time I’ve been here (hopefully not because of me!). From hardly seeing much of that in the first week or so, to then gradually seeing more and more as presumably more people move over from Reddit.

Be interesting to see how instances and communities respond, and if a more firm line will be drawn.

It’s wonderful and stupid and yet true, I have always loved that as a quote!

It’s super dedicated, when something isn’t working people like you are why we have the things we need archived!

I have a huge collection of TTRPG material, and mirrored back ups of media but nothing that exciting.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo ooooooooooooooooo (storage limit reached)

I really try to go through my stuff and delete things I no longer need - more usually documents rather than media… I always worry I might remove something I realise I need later! So you are probably more sensible!

That is a decent collection of pornography

People using an instance that appears to try to act and communicate transparently and asks for donations from the community to run the platform, should actually be transparent in my opinion.

People can just go somewhere else, and no one is obligated to say or do anything, but users appear to value transparency, and I feel as a collective we should value open and honest discussion about issues like this rather than shutting it down or being confrontational or argumentative or rude about it.

It might be nothing, it might be something: either way, people are entitled to feel they deserve to be kept informed. Whether they are entitled to or not is a different kettle of fish.

Oh interesting, thank you!

Yes. I got covid in 2020 and am still a complete wreck. It really did a number on me in so many ways.

I try to do what I can to avoid getting even worse.

That makes sense, hadn’t even occurred to me!
