Dear Meta:

Signed, The Fediverse

Yeah, they're just stating their sexual preference. Maybe a bit insensitive in the wording about the boobs but still not transphobic.

Edit: Wowee The comments turned into a shitshow 14 hours later. As a trans person, please disregard Unmarketable Plushie. They speak without understanding the greater context and do so with animosity, leading them to have to apologize multiple times in this post alone. Please know that most of the trans community is not like that and the inflammatory attitude you see there is generally (thankfully) only in online spaces, not irl.

and of course the answer is no.

Pfffft, says you.

I knoooooow, I've had like three people ask me to get that game lol

It's on the list!

I understand that, but muting toxic people on those team games defeats the purpose for me. The point is to communicate and work together, when you can't do that effectively because they're being shitheads then I'll take my ball and go home, so to speak. I have plenty of wonderful single player games and am lucky enough to have some friends for co-op games when I'm in the gaming mood.

You do you, but that technique just doesn't work for me, personally. I think it's good to get a different perspective like yours though, to each their own ☺️

Yup. It's why the only time I play online games now is with friends or not at all. Even then it's pretty much just co-op against the game rather than against other players. I only have so much energy for gaming and am willing to spend zero of that energy on toxic nonsense.

This ridiculousness is another reason I was happy to ditch DnD for PF2. Building encounters is sooooo much quicker and easier than trying to wrestle with nonsensical CR. Bane of my existence as a GM for 5e.

Stay in lemmygrad where you belong.

I appreciate that your pfp is Space Ghost, it seems fitting for the community you moderate. That's totally something Space Ghost would feature on his show. He'd at least yell at Moltar or Zorak to pull it up on the screen.

Skill issue.

Edit: Downvote away, it's not like this suggestion warranted actual meaningful discussion. It's just somebody who fundamentally doesn't understand how the fediverse works and thankfully the comments are reflecting that.

Edit: replying in an edit because this post doesn't deserve more engagement with a new comment.

@orientalsniper: I know how the fediverse works, been promoting it since the APIception.

That's cool and all but platform promotion does not equal platform understanding. Especially since you're asking questions like this from Raddle of all places rather than looking at the info on GitHub or any of the documentation linked in instances (at the bottom of the page above the code link). I stand by my statement that OP does not understand how the fediverse works and I'm still happy the comments appropriately flamed this suggestion.

you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

Looks at Twitter and Facebook...

Uhhhh... Who's going to tell them that's still a really big issue? lol

Back in the day everything was kind of worse. The tech, the UI, having to use Java and Shockwave before even Flash was a thing let alone HTML5. Having everything spread out and in hard to locate sites. Which was kind of fun at first, but it got old. Mainly for me, it was the speed and the UI. So many things were incredibly unintuitive, we look back and remember the good ones and forget all the shovelware that was absolutely atrocious. OH! And BonziBuddy. That fuckin' BonziBuddy...

I don't have anything to share really but I'm here for the suggestions and making a comment to come back to later while increasing post engagement lol
