mastodon instance pals, I hope you won't mind if I ask you to take part in a quick straw poll. Please –
♻Boost if you would prefer images on a CW'd post to be marked NSFW by default

I was a shitlord but they suuuure as hell haven't been great either.

I legitimately don't know how to be a good person. Because like. having feelings is manipulative and not having feelings is evil and if I can't tell if what I say is gonna be a bad thing even when it seems reasonable then how the Fuck
or to put it simply, when I say I worry someone abused me and I can't fucking tell, why the HELL would you auto side with them. it makes no sense??????
can someone bring me chicken nuggets I really want some and don't want to get up

I think there is at least one thing we can all agree on:
awoo~
man good moderation is just so foreign to me after six years on Tumblr
and frankly now that I'm primarily on here and discord (and in a rather drama free little circle in birdsite) I just. Am way less worried about hate?? this is nice

The idea that a developer has to pay $100 ON TOP OF a 30% cut (highest in the industry) for a storefront that can't even guarantee front page exposure to its millions of users anymore is just. fucking. laughable.

Put your work on itch.io.
Send your work to writers who are into what you're making.
It's hard to earn anything significant making games, but you won't do any worse avoiding the massive headache that is Steam.

words have power.
think about what you're going to say. think about what you're doing, and the effects it will have.
don't be afraid to escalate if you must. but... to immediately jump to maximum force removes the option of descalating.
we're all human.
ableist slurs, discourse
Since I ran out of characters, I had one last thing to say.
Flaming and attacking a single person for a problem with an institution gets us nowhere. Like. Don't send hate. It's not worth your time.
It's better to not give hate a voice. Really. If you're an admin and you don't want hateful ideology spread (or even just certain slurs said), that's when you block and you ban and you say "we don't tolerate this here."
Don't send hate. There's more effective ways.
ableist slurs, discourse
Take two, since brainfog.
I would love love love if people would take a step back and stop insulting each other holy fuck.
I am one of the people who is hurt by words like stupid and crazy. I will mute ppl in a heartbeat if they won't change their language to accommodate.
And if someone chooses to use them when they know it hurts? Sending hate isn't gonna stop them. They're not worth your time or mine.
That is what the mute/block button is for.
why must Discourse exist I just want to meme in peace
