@ambulocetus problem with all the i have seen was that they are commies who like to rule over others and skip out on the anarchist part.

this is the only time i will be this genuine to new users and not on you

legit #feditips to save your (and our) sanity

- DO NOT ALL JOIN MASTOSOC; fedi was designed with the core idea of being an alternative to tech monopolies. everyone rushing to join the same server goes against the explicit goals of the network
- don't think too hard about it. talk to people like a normal person. you won't really get clout here. reply to people, don't think of them as "influencers" or "big accounts".
- DO NOT ALL JOIN MASTOSOC
- if you're techical, set up your own instance. it's cool i promise
- DO NOT ALL JOIN MASTOSOC
- try to adapt to the esoteric culture of fedi; we're a weird lot, and you'll likely get people being really rather mean to you if you try bringing twitter culture over here then we wanted to get rid of that
- DO NOT ALL JOIN MASTOSOC

One of the biggest issues that is going to be harming adoption of the fediverse is the e-mail problem, and who is enabling it.

By now it's well known what happened to e-mail. Google and pals basically control it now because essentially all the normies signed up for one service, and if you don't use Google or someone they approve all emails are sent to /dev/null to stop spam. There is a risk that someone like Google could make a big instance and get normies onto it and force them into it with defederation.

On one hand the biggest company to care about the fedi is Pixiv with Pawoo (now owned by a game publisher), but on the other hand there's already a defederation problem with instances adding other instances because they were told they're bad. Which means if you join an instance like SPC or FSE, you find yourself blocked from many instances which are just cargo culting instance blocks since they're not supposed to ask questions, just block the bad people to "protect" your users. Just like a few other cults, everyone else has to defederate them too or one click of "external source" means the illusion shatters...and you find out everyone online is actually talking shit about you.

This could happen if normies sign up for Mastodon.social or instances with janny problems as they force other instances into their janny pacts, and it's why the only way forward is to decentralize the fedi more.

@beardalaxy @xianc78 simply being true to reality -- not the perverted, artificial world we live in now, but how things were throughout most of the history of humanity -- combats woke shit all on its own

@xianc78 @beardalaxy That, and being bad at promoting their own side. Just look at how mainstream right publications refuse to give airtime to independent creators unless you hand them cash or end up already successful.

At least in literature, there's no shortage of good "non-woke" authors- they're just hamstrung by having to rely on eceleb cred or word of mouth,

@xianc78 oh yeah that's a definite.

I don't speak for everyone, but I think the majority of people complaining about woke shit in games don't really want games that combat the woke shit, they want games that just don't have the woke shit in it.

Based devs helps too, though, when stacked on a game that's just a game. Take the recent interview with FFXVI's director or whatever, talking about how the are pretty much going to only be white people in the game because it is representative of the region the game takes place in. That's an answer that infuriates the people who would be asking that question, but we like to hear that because it means the focus isn't on pandering, it's about the actual game.

Maybe that's a bad example because the current state of Square Enix dictates there will probably be something woke in the game anyway, but you get what I'm going for I'm sure.

Urutau uses a rack and pinion for the trigger sear… 3d printed gears have so much backlash… I wonder if it works kinda ok after you pick up the slack in the trigger though.

Is this a novel way to actuate the trigger sear in a bullpup?

I definitely understand why some people feel like a special place is being taken away from them. I think we'll find a way to get that feeling back eventually.

I'm not actually that upset by Twitter people coming here. I don't like almost any of them but they can do whatever here and I'll ignore or make fun of them.
