@Rozzychan @soph_sol @alis tbf basically all convention-associated awards get a bit “who does this small group of annual attendees get horny for”, not just worldcon and the hugos
THAT SAID most other awards do not claim to be unbiasedly representing the entire genre of science fiction globally which definitely makes it a lot more irritating when they do it
@platypus perfect tie currently 😆
@soph_sol love rereading old fics ive completely forgotten about bc the author replied — past me has *excellent* taste usually

@naye i’m glad you’re enjoying mastodon! it’s been nice having more of my fandom circle around fedi this last year or so—it was still a nice place when i joined back in 2017 but the fannish side of things was so *quiet*
i feel you on the multi account struggle though—here, discord, and DW is just about all i can manage

@platypus looking at the weather forecast for this evening like 😬
@nomo it was so weird! did not understand at all
@nomo the brits are weirdly casual about gambling by American standards, when I went to England there were just like, normal storefronts full of slot machines sitting right between the convenience store and the coffee shop and it never stopped surprising me
i guess having an official gov’t run lottery is one way to ensure your regulations on that kinda thing remain lax 😆
rethinking the risks and benefits of online spaces
@ljwrites yeah despite all the moral panic about online dangers, people dont seem to take *actual* online hatespeech / harassment very seriously. That goes in the same online is fake category as digital relationships alas
