@sendpaws @Rom13AncapHypoc You can still get canceled for what you say on Discord. Just look at what happened to the Ion Fury devs.
@Rom13AncapHypoc I think the reason Discord is so popular now too is it's the last place people act "however" they want because they have an illusion of privacy there, if solely because it's not indexed. That and on the normieweb there's the merited fear that if you make someone somewhere mad they're going to put your info into some osint site to find emails from a 10 year old breach of a gaming forum or write a Google Doc.
If any of y'all have deeper knowledge of how #Mastodon, #Rebased, #Soapbox, and #BirdMakeup work, I would appreciate having another eyeball take a look at this. #Gemini (the #AI I asked about this) is telling me that certain forks and versions of #Pleroma are stricter when it comes to loading #ActivityPub content than #Mastodon.
Working on both #Mastodon and #Rebased:

Not working on #Rebased but working on #Mastodon:

I just might've found a helpful use case for #AI lol. Asking #Gemini about why some #BirdMakeup posts load on both #Mastodon and #Rebased, and some only load on #Mastodon.
I am working, so I don't exactly have the bandwidth to verify everything, but it's essentially saying that, in this instance, at least, #Rebased rejected a post because it missed a share field, and its tag field was completely empty.
@beardalaxy Yet people shit on COD and sports games for doing the exact same thing.

Except it wouldn't be a PMD ripoff. It would simply be a MD ripoff. Mystery Dungeon is a roguelike series that predates Pokemon, and is licensed to other series as roguelike spinoffs.

In this post I take a look at the SAGExpo, and the eternal problem with the indie scenes: that beyond retro throwbacks everything is in the "Nintendo Mold" and made by people who have never lived life outside the computer screen.
