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.

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.

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.

The new righteous gemstones just started airing so that’s been on the docket. I also just finished binging Yellowjackets and now I’m just anxiously hoping it will exist once the strike is over.
Thinking now about making why way through some “bucket list” anime’s like watching Hunter x Hunter.

I think long term reddit will start to bleed out. There is simply no world where once that IPO drops they don't start making even more anti-user choices. Digg has members active to this day. Its just a matter of time. I genuinely see fediverse projects as the future, it's just about organic growth now and the shutdowns did a great job of jumpstarting the process.

Yeah I think its the same issue Twitter is having right now. All of the bootlickers are being elevated above the rest of the conversation. Could be 2 fold apathy in terms of lurkers not wanting to participate in the conversation leaving all the air for the mouth breathers, or bots. Or a combination of both.

I agree, and the hard pivot outwardly over policies and the near antagonistic stance the admin team has suddenly taken has got to be a precursor to something we not be aware of yet. Spez feels like a willing scapegoat to make a few million as he parachutes out when it blows up. They will use him to implement the unpopular decisions, get it "profitable" leading up to the IPO then remove spez and bring in a populist type CEO to smooth over the dissent. Maybe give better tools, act like they give a shit but not actually roll back any changes.
We know this tactic as its something wall street does all the time, and something reddit specifically has done before as well.

They really did recommend Digg as an alternative to Reddit. Some stubborn exec at Digg is punching the air right now.

I mean genuinely if your charging for access to the content I have created then I am I entitled to a portion of your revenue. Same as Adsense on YT not that I want to turn it into a race to the bottom for engagement like those scenarios are conducive to. But if we want to make it about money we can make it about money /u/spez.
If I were an executive and If I was even 2% clued into the effect this is having on shifting the conversation to fediverse type projects I would be shitting myself. Not because this will have an immediately noticeable effect on my bottom line, but that it will continue to grow organically. We already crossed the threshold of momentum needed to self sustain, its all up from here especially as the tools and systems mature.
Just look at the tech literate around us start to question “yeah why the fuck are we leaving social media in the hands of corporations???”

Alright so I just checked the Matrix chat, looks like it is still pending approval from Apple before public TestFlight release.
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](https://beehaw.org/u/Stewie) is the one I made or if someone elsemade it at the same time I did.
