Terminal on a smartphone!! That’d be cool if I could do that on mine. Eagerly going to play the demo, and to wait for it to leave EA. Heard too many stories of gamers getting burned with Early Access to ever allow myself to buy Early Access.

I really like this artstyle.

Aww, how cute—

wait, is Kyogre mad :( glowing eyes almost never mean anything good

Annoys me, as an American with political opinions that often agree with the posted ones.

I don’t look at any meme communities because of this.

Ehh, I follow zero influencers, only people I know in real life and Instagram spammed me with “[Elevator7009’s friend] and 23 others want you to join them on Threads!” or whatever the notif is for awhile. I never bothered getting one myself because ew Meta and I already use the Fediverse. And because I was pretty sure it was just marketing—if my friend actually personally wanted me on Threads they’d private message me or tell me in real life.

Although it still could be mostly influencers! I am a fun sample size of one with a single anecdote.

Okay, so now I have a word for this behavior, thanks.

I’ve managed to avoid seeing it too often but that’s also through probably getting lucky with tiny, focused communities and only looking at Subscribed (sometimes Local on certain instances—ani.social has been “safe” for avoiding politics in my opinion). And outright refusing meme communities not because I have an issue with memes but because there’s usually a depressing “relatable” one where unfortunately yammering about the cause behind that depressing thing is on-topic, and usually attributed to something political.

I do content discovery through trawling through the community list on an instance and picking something cool and following !newcommunities@lemmy.world. For people who don’t want to mostly take a “my interests only, everything else can be safely ignored” attitude, or whose interests involve topics that frequently intersect with politics (imagine being into tech, seeing on-topic tech news that… also has political implications or directly talks politics), I’m just really sorry for you right now.

Finally got a Mastodon, where more otome game creators post. Time will tell if this bears any fruit for !otomegames@ani.social.

I would engage a lot more if incremental.social would let me log in to more than just the chat function. I was hoping to use that instance for gaming discussion. Sadly for me, I always error out when logging into my account on the instance proper.

I guess I’ll have to give up on using that as the gaming instance and consolidate this account to both anime and gaming. And start participating with this account.

Well hey, I got a Mastodon. Posting this reply to see if this pops up on Mastodon too.

I never participated in callout communities myself, so I’m not sure how effective they are. As an outsider looking in, who has never personally dealt with a toxic user or mod before, it seems like a drama farm. If callout communities actually work as intended, though, or at least successfully warn people about genuinely problematic users/mods (instead of just being a tool to gain public support against civil, behaving users you do not like/a mod who justifiably banned you), then I suppose it’s worth creating.

Feels much better, thank you!

As much as I do enjoy the Fediverse, I feel as if the intent of this post was more about dunking on an admittedly bad-faith user to show off how cool we are, and not the bit about growing the nice atmosphere of Lemmy. Although to be fair I’m not sure I understand what you mean by

I guess this can be seen as “growing the nice atmosphere of Lemmy”

so I could be wrong. Would you mind elaborating?

I feel it would have been better to just let this guy get banned and forget about it, or to start a post with the title being along the lines of

how does a public modlog make Lemmy better than Reddit

instead of what we have, which summarizes the specific actions of the user who deleted their account.

I am glad a toxic user was banned, no sympathy there, but I feel as this thread is a “Lemmy good Reddit and Redditors bad” party and it was started with this intent, with the thing about modlogs being cool being tacked on after the fact to try to legitimize the post. Yes, I prefer Lemmy to Reddit, but I’d rather keep Fedigrow a nice mature space about how to grow our numbers instead of a place to dunk on the larger, competing site. Maybe !reddit@lemmy.world would have been more appropriate space.

I came from the Reddit migration too, and back when I was on Reddit there were some pretty nice people over there. There were some awful people too but you get that with every population. Let us not do the whole “Lemmy cool kids, Reddit all neckbeards!” crap, please.

Ooooh I Fell in Love with a Mailman looks good, both MC and the LI. The LI looks adorable and I want to hug him, and the MC’s fashion sense and looks (and from what I can guess of her personality) make her seem like someone I could actually self-insert on well.

Renting Love for Christmas looks like the art was done by the same people who made Teachers. With Love and Passion where you are a teacher who can date other teachers.

I have gamer friends but I only know one person in real life who likes otome! You are very lucky.

I do not really have an opinion on the banner thing.

Honestly, a post every day might be a bit excessive. But regular posting, enough to prove to someone who is just browsing the community that their comments or posts will probably be seen and engaged with by another human being at some point, is a good idea.

I personally don’t mind posting in places where someone else seems to have made posting anything relevant their personal job, but it is a bit intimidating. I never really thought of it this way, but I just realized that also too many posts from one user in a short span of time can make a user worry their own post would get drowned out.

I actually super don’t.

You look different from me therefore you BAD and EVIL. You acceptable target for hurting because my group said so. Even though you never hurt me.

I’ve never suffered from racism, misogyny, or queer bashing. I am very very lucky especially given I am a queer woman of color. I know just how bad other people have it. We can at least partially thank tribalism for those peoples’ suffering.

No worries! Discussions of AI feel like too serious a topic, too hot-button for me to feel great discussing online so I got wary. Thank you for clarifying

I’ll be honest, not sure why I specifically am being replied to with this. I don’t think I talked about how easy or hard it is to recognize AI content in the comment, or about whether it should be filtered out or not.

I do think you correctly assumed that I am very much not a fan of AI content when someone is trying to pass it as their own effort (I am guessing expressing appreciation for the user marking AI-generated content as such tipped you off?).
