People care about their identity on Reddit? I always used it as a sort-of anonymous forum, except with usernames, less likelihood to get told rancid things than on a truly anonymous platform with no accounts to ban, and if you were reading some original stories on Reddit you could recognize the author's name.

Instagram was something I used under my real name to keep up with real life friends, so yeah I care about my identity there, but I'm aware some people use it less as a real life social media and more as a content platform.

Turned up my nose at TikTok, which has proven to be the correct option for online approval years after I made the decision to ignore it.

Seeing mobile grow makes me seriously hope that console and PC stay relevant. I'd like nice premium otome to play, freemium drives me nuts, but worst comes to worst even if a freemium hellscape takes over and few to no console/PC releases happen, at least I can play my giant backlog of already-existing otome.

 

Another nice post from otome.com.

Kbin used to try to do this. Not so sure about Mbin, maybe it does. Glad to see a Fediverse option trying to implement something other ones implemented.

Although I am curious how many people take the approach of clicking a random active user online—I know I come to these thread-based forums to discuss common interests, and would never use the feature myself because 1) no guarantee the active user has common interests 2) I would feel like a weird stalker. Curious about the mindset of those who do—and not trying to accuse them of being stalkers just because I personally would feel like one taking that approach.

Yep, I made sure Elevator7009@lemmy.zip and Elevator7009@lemmy.world do not have overlapping subs with Elevator7009@ani.social. Although I admit sometimes any of them may weigh in on Fedigrow, only one is actually subbed there, and I do take care to avoid upvoting or downvoting the same post twice.

xcancel can be swapped for twitter in an URL and still get the post if I recall correctly

premise sounds interesting, hope it gets better than MTL

The article's assessment of the fan reaction to a boycott feels pretty in line with what I saw happening with Infold/Papergames' other recent game aimed at women, Infinity Nikki, and peoples' sentiments about that particular boycott, or #girlcott (which I think was what people started using to talk about it once posts with "boycott" started getting censored in official Infinity Nikki communities). Two blowups on big properties in relatively quick succession, wonder how they'll handle this.

Glad to hear The Villainess Just Wants to Eat!! is good so far, it stays on my to-play list. Sadly that list of stuff to play is super long.

I just played Rescue Refused, which I made a post about here yesterday.

It's exactly 1,000 words, short but sweet. Cute art. Made for the Only One of Any Asset VN Jam 2025. Can be played in browser, including on a phone! I finished the game within less than 10 minutes.

on gameplayYou die and restart the game, which opens up a new option for you to select to extend your life. This happens a couple times until you finally get the option that lets you live. It's very obvious what you're supposed to do.

An article on the recent drama by a small website, https://otome.com/! I think I have promoted the site here before.

Everything I specifically saw from Alice seemed fine, but a lot of the communities on there seemed questionable. Don't remember details, it has been awhile. It's also possible I missed things, I never looked at her profile, just remembering a huge glut of hilariouschaos communities getting advertised on !newcommunities@lemmy.world. I don't remember bad behavior from her but I would not be surprised if it happened.

Okay, 14 days later my ani.social is back to normal on Safari!

[–] Elevator7009sAlt@ani.social 1 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm on Safari on my cellphone. Trying another browser, weirdly enough, makes it normal again. Thanks!

 

I typed in "ani.social" in my phone browser, expecting to see the normal Lemmy UI. Instead I'm confronted with the Alexandrite front end. I don't think I clicked anything to give me this front end; I think it's a total surprise to me, it's possible I'm an idiot who missed something and accidentally clicked a setting. Asking for help here after clicking around in more settings trying to figure out how to turn it off.

 

This after the delisting of such games.

Explanatory post, not a shaming post for those who like red flag LIs. Found this useful for anyone who wants to understand—I certainly read a lot of similar explanations from fans of red flags in otome during my time on Reddit. Also useful for engineering an LI for your own game 👀

Recommendations are at the bottom of the page.

Do any of these reasons resonate with you personally?

 

Essentially, Steam (check rule 15) and itch.io are getting rid of/delisting content that payment processors don't want to process. (It's mostly adult content.)

This website has more information on what will happen if you own a game that gets delisted, and how to get it back if at all. I would personally recommend downloading it and backing it up somewhere, especially for itch.io which is not listed on the website.

A video with link sources for its information in the description validates this. If you just want to click a link here instead of going to the video, here's one for Steam and one for itch.io.

If you would like to protest this, https://yellat.money/ works for anyone and Americans can take action at https://aclu.com/mastercard.

Please remember rule 5 and tag NSFW content as such. Discussion of NSFW's existence is fine, getting into details should be tagged.
