They’re annoying, like over-caffeinated teenagers, and they like to use what I presume are something like Twitch emotes that don’t work outside of hexbear, which looks really stupid.

I don’t think they’re evil or anything, but they’re just so universally awful to deal with that I can fully support immediate no-questions-asked defederation. They’re the fediverse equivalent of a decent enough guy who just fucking reeks because they refuse to ever shower or wear deodorant.

does not censor hate speech

federated with everyone

Yeah okay OP someone definitely isn’t some flavour of racist

Indeterminate game played with six-sided dice and a tall wooden cup. More towards freeform gambling than anything concrete.

Tildes is a hideously ugly walled-garden circlejerk from the little I’ve seen of it, Squabblr.co seems neat but is very low-population (and without the fedi crossover I’m not sure if it’ll survive), and I’ve never even heard of Raddle before this.

You’re an idiot. Also a techy linux weirdo, so I’m not surprised. Did you know other people have hobbies that do not involve Linux, and would like to be able to discuss them without someone like you bending themselves into a pretzel over how the Fediverse has no room for filthy casuals who don’t know what FOSS stands for. Gatekeep harder! This will surely save the fediverse from normies.

40-something sysadmins love both bicycles and video games, so I’m really not surprised. All of those “read-only” bits aren’t here and they aren’t moving, and nobody’s making them because the moderation tools are awful. Kbin doesn’t even have an API.

When I want to watch a play or musical, I generally look for expert reviews.

I generally look for the opinions of like, actual human beings with no skin in the game. Reviewers gotta say what they need to say to pay their bills. Reddit was great for stuff like that, or the semi-official subreddits of specific obscure headphone companies, vinyl record swapping, local-town-community type subreddits… Stuff this place seems like it will literally never have. It’s a shame.

No shit you think it’s fine, you’re a techy linux weirdo. Good luck discussing like, musicals or tabletop roleplaying games or homemade moonshine or anything in that general vicinity of “niche” on here.

It’s small enough to literally have zero posts of a variety of topics, and that number isn’t improving. Get outside of your own circle every once in a while.

I went and looked at tildes as a result of this, and it seems aggressively dead. Like, the fediverse is pretty dead and tildes makes it look positively thriving in comparison. Yeesh.
