I'm getting burnt out on jumping platforms every couple years. Loving Mastodon but the user base isn't there yet, unfortunately.

Reddit worked great because it allowed me to engage with people and share content without the expectation of creating an online identity and stuff like you do with Twitter, Facebook, etc. It's all "me, my stuff, my likes, my retweets." Doesn't matter how much karma I get on Reddit; I'm still a nobody in a sea of nobodies.

I edited all my comments to be the same message. I don't know what the benefit would be of deleting vs editing them. Ultimately the goal is that they can't benefit from content I've created, right? Is there any benefit in deleting?

That's the script I was using :(

Gaming laptops have historically had a reputation for being bad for a number of reasons:

  • Poor build quality compared to flagships in comparable price range

  • Poor battery life

  • Poor cooling implementation

  • Poor relative performance due to above points

  • Large and bulky, offsetting the value of portability

  • Cut corners in other ways, like poor color depth, having a good graphics card but a CPU bottlenecking the games that would utilize it, lower RAM than it probably should have for gaming, etc.

And then not to mention some people just don't like the neon green and red "gamer" look many of them have. There's the distinction here between "gaming" laptops and gaming-capable laptops.

I used a script to edit mine, and most of them have been reverted multiple times in the last week. Some of them retain my edits, so I keep running the script.

I actually just got this delivered recently. Haven't had the chance to dive in yet, but its reputation really precedes it. Every video essayist I follow on Youtube has talked about this book at some point. Very much looking forward to it.

If we have the ability to identify them or where they're coming from, could our various platforms just defederate or block the ones who aren't dealing with the bot problem down the line?

That's not really a physical release then? It's basically one of those cards they have hanging up at walmart, but with an unnecessary box. And the whole point of the box is as a protective distribution method for physical media.

I'm more concerned about the more toxic people having access to the names and profiles of people who downvote them. Reddit had a lot of crazies, and it seems like a good tool for targeted harassment. Not to mention, what's stopping them from having alt accounts on different instances and continuing even after they've been blocked or even banned on one account?

Yeah I mostly browse on mobile but that's the setting I mentioned changing in my post. Must be a mobile issue?

EDIT:

Hit the comment button early by accident

Anyway it's a turn-based dungeon crawler where your actions cost dice rolls. Multiple characters with very different gameplay mechanics, all in support of the core loop.

I highly recommend it. Probs put over 100 hours into this bad boi
