Sounds fun and exciting. (⌒‿⌒)

What distro you going with for the server? Kinda curious now.

I'll let those who worked with Channel Awesome speak for themselves with the "Not So Awesome Document" they released during the time scandals broke out.

Domino's are starting to fall... Channel awesome all over again.

Because everyone else is already dead? /s

Because they have the hubris of Icarus.

I haven't played with it. However, I can say it is based on Fedora which is a good distro and Glorious Egg roll himself, besides working at Red Hat, is the creator of the Glorious Egg Roll version of the Proton compatibility layer.

Edit: stupid button, hit before I was finished. Besides the GE proton version, he does a lot of other enhancements to make Nobara more gamer friendly so it should be a relatively good distro to use because he knows the system better than most average Linux users and so provides the enhancements out of the box for gamers that want to game.

If you know what you are doing, the enhancements can be added to Fedora easily. But if you just want to setup and play immediately, Nobara is the way to go.

Yiffstar, the original and best site for yiffstories is now sofurry.

Though most of the original stories from the yiffstar days never made their way onto sofurry. You can still find them on archive.org though.

Besides Blender, the only other software I could find that can handle jewelry designing would be LibreCAD.

But it only works in 2D. It does offer an isometric view function though so it could still work out if he wants to design jewelry.

Did you post this ironically?

It was sarcasm.

I mean, if you want to pay for an operating system that displays ads by default... More power to you, I guess?

Gets a couple hundred coins. This is going to be fun! Well... Maybe not for him... ( ≖ ω ≖ )

It's not the image itself that is the problem. Their are people on Lemmy that took the bad habit of Reddit and using the downvote button for things they don't like... Aaaand brought it here. (￣︿￣)

So you'll need to accept that. It really does suck. My Community !femyiff@yiffit.net gets hit up with it a lot (Guess besides not liking furries, some people are so insecure with themselves that they cannot handle a boy that looks and dresses feminine. ┐(シ)┌ )

It sucks, but you cannot change people. Unless they are on an instance like Beehaw.org where they cannot do downvoting at all... (￢_￢;)

So it is something you just got to accept and grow a thick skin to deal with it... (＞﹏＜)

Probably also should make a few !memes@yiffit.net to help get the annoyance of these people out of your system. It's what I did. (⌒▽⌒)☆

Arch users will never compare against the gods that use Gentoo...

But even the Gentoo gods will never compare against the madness of the Lovecraftian Ancient Ones that use LFS.

Can of spam sure, but they happen to sell a 2.5oz single slice bag of spam. Surely a pigeon should be able to carry that.

These are smart and good additions to the rules for yiffit and the Weekly Topics. Honestly, I am surprised this was not added much earlier when you limited creating communities to needing to make a request to you to make it and transfer ownership to the requester.

Ah well, I guess it is better it get tackled now and nip this problem in the bud permanently.

Glad to hear you are doing better Wander-sensei! Do try to use a cold compress throughout the day to help with any further swelling.

When and IF you do find a new hosting provider, please inform us which hosting provider you went with! Would be interesting to know which one you picked and why you went with them.

Very convincing! 🤤

• How should the furry fandom react? Embrace it? Reject it? And if so, how to deal with the risk of being "called out"?

Personally I do believe we as a community need to reject the puritan idea in all it's forms.

If anyone is being called out, it could be viewed as online harassment and it should be documented and reported to website administration (if on central network social media like Facebook, deaddit, and dead bird site.)

If you are on any decentralized social media and they are calling you out on your instance, document their attacks and report them to the instance administrator. If that instance administrator will not do anything, leave that instance for a better instance like Yiffit.net if on Lemmy or packmates.org if on Mastodon.

• Is their point valid but are they simply to loud and aggressive?

What they propose over the community is censorship. It is not a valid reason. It is a means of control. If we give in to their demands on this, they will demand another thing be censored and we will have to give in to appease them. Then another, and another, and another till the fandom itself is either dead or a husk of it's former self because it censored everything out of it on the clean web and drove everyone that was a part of it either into seclusion and never talking about furry fandom or really limiting it down to encrypted matrix chatrooms and onion links on the dark web because puritans destroyed what we had on the clear web.

We should be allowed to freely think and have our own ideas and depict what we want in media we either make ourselves or commission from artists. We shouldn't be limited by other peoples narrow ideas, views, and beliefs. Whether they are children or adults.

• Or are their methods correct and it's time that the fandom received a wake-up call?

Their methods are not correct. Again what they are proposing and forcing on us is censorship. The only wake-up call the fandom needs is to realize that these puriteens are fascists trying to shove their fascist ideas down our throats or make our lives miserable if we don't comply.

And we need to stand up to that. It should be made fully clear that they are not welcomed within the fandom if they want to force us to cowtow to their demands of censorship.

They need to accept the fandom for what it is. Otherwise they need to leave the fandom.

Ha ha! Tell me about it! I've been there.
