@icedquinn i think a reason why my friends didn't want to learn a new system is because they weren't familiar with how to make a good build and stuff. i'm like dude, just make a character and roll with it.
@GrungeQueef @TornadoOfTerror apparently, the mcdonald's in russia were immediately taken over by someone else and are now better than ever
@leespringfield1903 this is pretty much how i feel. i didn't hate anyone until i discovered how much they hate me.
@TornadoOfTerror must hug
@Calvin @dcc @PurpCat @RustyCrab @Sprate @1iceloops123 @jeffcliff that happened a while ago, maybe 2 years or so? it's since been owned by another company and then that company merged with another one, something along those lines.
@YeetLibs @RustyCrab there are still some japanese artists on there, unfortunately. both hentai and sfw ones, since pixiv doesn't necessarily discriminate and pawoo was originally a pixiv endeavor. a lot of people are just sort of stuck there and i wish they'd move.
@dcc @PurpCat @RustyCrab @Sui @Sprate @jeffcliff FSE and SPC are the two instances i've recommended most to people looking for "free speech twitter alternatives," actually.
@RustyCrab @dcc @PurpCat @Sprate @jeffcliff i'm pretty sure this is why we had a user leave here, though they are still active on twitter. some report from pawoo, of course. it's also why i hesitate to tell anyone to join fedi. most people will see something objectionable and nope the fuck out, which i don't blame them for at all.
we had a problem with pedos begging for session contacts and using AI filtered CP conveniently after pawoo had a big ban wave of those same types of people. i volunteered to be a mod and we dealt with it all as fast as we could but it was a lot to deal with so that's why regs were closed. i had a friend join gameliberty right before that happened and he never came back because of it.
i want the fediverse to succeed and i want anyone who is on our instance to not have to deal with seeing that stuff because it really sucks to be exposed to it. i don't blame anyone for defederating from pawoo or even something like baraag if they know that their userbase isn't going to be particularly fond of the content hosted there. when i momentarily hosted an instance for my friends that's what i did, including a few other instances.
@RustyCrab AGAIN? lmao.
however, if it was down it must already be back, because there are still posts i can see on the federated tab.
i don't think that the CP posting was actually why it got taken down the first time though, iirc it had something to do with the uncensored porn/hentai being posted by artists since that's illegal in japan. afaik, although pawoo does have a CP problem, the vast majority of the users are actually just japanese artists using it more or less how they'd use twitter, which is a shame because i wish they'd hop off pawoo and go to something like misskey.io instead.
@rlier23 @mischievoustomato @GrungeQueef i agree, i'm just trying to get into people's heads.
