baldur’s gate has really good writing but thankfully i could not care less about the worldbuilding of the forgotten realms so i don’t have to get fannish about it
do you think i will finally beat baldurs gate 3 before the new zelda comes out
yes i know Cohost did not actually aggregate RSS feeds, what it did was worse
if Cohost had features other than this feel free to let me know in the comments
anyway, if you used to be on Cohost and want a different site which is just a glorified RSS aggregator plus comment functionality, Dreamwidth is still up
@packetcat oh absolutely, it’s a major service you’re providing and i think you deserve everything good which comes your way
the reality tho is that helping people never makes that kind of money because helping people is not the goal of capitalism. and personally i find it inspiring that some people go and do that work anyway, even though they aren’t getting paid what they should, because those are the kinds of people who live lives of service and make community possible
but some people don’t see that inspiring picture. they just see the negative side, the capitalist exploitation, and throw up their hands and give up
@packetcat yeah but i mean, you’re not taking an annual tech salary for moderating and maintaining the space, you’re just paying bills
suburban-ass motherfuckers talking about Mastodon like it’s a bad thing our communities aren’t bankrolled by anonymous benefactors
when you’re trying to accomplish something that doesn’t make money, you don’t get the good fortune of getting paid for it
unless you’re Cohost for three years!
@kit i mean, three people were taking tech salaries to nominally work on it over the course of three years, but that doesn’t tell you how much work was actually done, or how much those three people could have accomplished in this space.
i mean, part of the problem with cohost is that it was never open source and could not take outside contributions. they very intentionally did limit how much energy could be spent on the platform. and people on cohost were mostly fine continuing using that closed-source solution until now instead of building an open-source one that could survive a budget shortfall, so?
a lot of MONEY went into cohost, but that’s a different matter
@kit how much effort actually did go into sustaining cohost?
S·P·D·X versions their R·D·F vocabulary?? 😬
fedi needs more minecraft servers
everything i’ve heard from Northwestern is that they’re a great place to work and they’re in Evanston!! all my folks love Evanston!!
why did they sign up for a grant to bring AI into libraries tho!!
“Northwestern is hiring” oh shit, Northwestern is great, i better send this link to all my folks
“to help us build best-in-class AI driven, opensource discovery and metadata description applications” 😬😬😬😬😬
i jest but this is social media where there are no consequences to anything, and having large numbers of people routinely fucking around and finding out is an extremely viable strategy for garnering sympathy.
the things you gotta learn are :—
• antiracists on fedi aren’t invading social circles, breaking down doors, flipping over tables, rifling thru drawers. they’re standing in one place and that place is usually pretty clearly labelled. racists go and come to them.
• the REASON racists go and come to them is to manipulate you and garner your sympathy, or as a kind of perverse show of solidarity within their own ranks. they are doing this willingly and voluntarily, fully expectant of the consequences, because they have decided that the consequences (getting blocked and reported by an antiracist) do not matter to them.
and yo, stop giving them the time of day. stop being a pawn in their boring, self-aggrandizing game of chess. you see a racist get taken out? you say “well, i guess they got what they asked for” and move on. you don’t give it any more seconds of your thought than that. savvy?
if you don’t roll up to “nazi haters incorporated” looking like a nazi i think you’ll probably be fine there, dude
nazis: *walking up to “nazi haters incorporated”; volunteering for the firing line*
random white bystander: oh no! that “nazi haters incorporated” sure is going on a crusade! look at all the nazis they’ve taken out! what if they come after me next?! 😳
