Man, the gatekeeping is wild these days.

You're allowed to like a story you grew up with as a child and also dislike its bigot author, they're not mutually exclusive. Talking about Harry Potter doesn't give Rowling magical transphobe powers; Voldemort logic doesn't work in real life. The rightsholders have already taken great strides to distance the HP property from Rowling and adopt it to be more inclusive in spite of her TERF bullshit. It's not a hate crime to like a story about child wizards anymore.

If people want to geek out about some books or movies they like, they should be allowed to do so without the insinuation that they're by default enabling transphobia or something. But the beauty of the Fediverse is that your community has just as much right to exist as any other, so as long as you can maintain a healthy, hate-free community that isn't posting a bunch of pro-Rowling bullshit, I say go for it. Anyone who would block your instance for merely existing probably isn't worth your time, anyway.

This looks awful, like that Pooh movie. This "make a horror story out of expired copyrights" trend is gonna get old, fast.

It's not that they wanted GameStop to win. They wanted Wall Street to lose.

I feel like this was an exception to the rule, since he was still at large for a while and it was imperative to the public safety that people knew who he was and what he looked like.

That said, yes, the media does need to pull back on publishing details about the killers in these situations.

Elon deliberately acted against a US ally and his actions directly led to the deaths of innocent civilians. He ought to have his citizenship revoked and be tried for treason.

Unity saw how Reddit killed off free users by raising prices to absurd rates, and how Reddit was largely unaffected by it as a whole. Not going to be surprised to see other types of platforms also follow suit.

Some family traditions should be upheld.

I actually like the recommendations. I usually only get content that's relevant to my interests, and I'm always finding new channels that are interesting and worth my sub.

Sometimes I wonder what I'm doing differently from everybody else, because I never see much of the spammy/irrelevant content everyone else seems to be getting. Or maybe I'm just easy to please.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why would this be illegal?

You know what's crazy? If you hadn't posted this, I would've had no idea at all that you were such a piece of shit. But now that's literally the only thing I know about you.

If you wanna go really casual, there's sites like https://movie-web.app which will let you stream most movies in decent quality.

The Internet has become soulless

Gee, I wonder what could've contributed to that.

Edit: In case the screenshot doesn't sync to all instances, the screenshot is OP's article immediately asking to send notifications to my device for a site I've never been to before that moment. If you want to know what killed the internet we used to know, it's shit like this. As soon as a page asks to send me notifications, I immediately lose trust in that page and have no inclination to spend any more time there.

For taking about big corpos disrespecting the user experience, this is certainly an ironic move.

BUDA, Texas (KXAN) — The popular restaurant in Buda, Valentina’s Tex Mex BBQ, is facing some backlash for its employee tip policy.

If employees broke certain rules, they’d be at risk of not receiving tips. The owners said the policy has since changed.

Seriously, I don't know what it is about this super, but it feels absolutely terrible in PVP. There's definitely something wrong with the damage resist, because it doesn't even feel like 0% DR, it feels like negative DR sometimes. I can't tell if maybe the animation just makes your hitbox an easier target or if you're actually just getting melted faster in that super, but it makes it pretty damn impossible to actually close the distance to get within killing range on most maps. Even worse if somebody's got Vorpal; you just get deleted before you even realize what hit you.

Not to mention the terrible third-person camera you're forced into for this super which makes movement an even bigger chore. I bounce so many walls trying to grapple around in this super. Half my super energy is spent on just trying to position myself so that I'm closely-aligned enough on the X axis for the rope dart to even connect with my target.

And even then, it's a coin toss whether or not it'll register a kill at all. I've had so many times where the dart 100% pierces the enemy, and it just whiffs. It's just bad in every regard. Meanwhile, Titans have like 5 different options for free OHKO melee abilities that seem to connect from halfway across Eternity sometimes.

It really makes me wish that Hunters had an exotic that gave you some sort of bonus for hanging onto your super, like Mantle of Battle Harmony or something, because I feel like I'm throwing every time I pop this super in PVP. If I ever manage to get a kill with this super, I pretty much never make it out alive. It causes me to end up hanging onto my super and not using it in some matches, because why risk feeding the enemy team a free kill when I can most likely land more kills without the super?

I'll get off my soapbox now. Thanks for entertaining my rant. Bungie, pls buff, thx.

Most of the other Fediverse platforms are pretty obvious to me as to what they're meant to be alternatives to. Mastodon for Twitter/Threads, PixelFed for Instagram, Lemmy for Reddit, Matrix for Discord/Slack... But I can't quite place MissKey. It doesn't really feel like any other social network I've seen before.

I've tried looking around, but most of the instances I've seen are either in Japanese or Russian so I can't really tell what I'm looking at, or have no active users to really see what the engagement is supposed to be like.

Can anyone fill me in on what MissKey is meant to be an analog to or how it's meant to be used?
