Well yeah they’re going to exist everywhere. But with Lemmy you have some accountability. On reddit you have none.

As for bans with no notifications, that’s not on the mods. That is on the developers of Lemmy and why so many people are frustrated with them. They’re ignoring admins, have no real timeline on feature development, and aren’t focusing on major issues that have been reported. The Lemmy Devs keep dragging their feet and if they’re not careful it could end up with someone making a lemmy competitor that still works with Lemmy. I know I’d go straight for it as a mod and as a user.

I use it fairly regularly for extremely basic things. Helps my ADHD. Most of it is DnD based. I’ll dump a bunch of stuff that happened in a session, ask it to ask me clarifying information, and then put it all in a note format. Works great. Or it did.

Or when DMing. If I’m trying to make a new monster I’ll ask it for help with ideas or something. I like collabing with ChatGPT on that front. Giving thoughts and it giving thoughts until we hash out something cool. Or even trying to come up with interesting combat encounters or a story twist. Never take what it gives me outright but work on it with GPT like I would with a person. Has always been amazingly useful.

Past month or two that’s been a complete dream. ChatGPT keeps forgetting what were talking about, keeps ignoring what I say, will ignore limitations and stipulations, and will just make up random shit whenever it feels like. I also HATE how it was given conversational personality. Before it was fine but now ChatGPT acts like a person and is all bubbly and stuff. I liked chatting with it but this energy is irritating.

Gimme ChatGPT from like August please <3

Ima be real here but if someone didn’t watch the Game Awards then they’re probably not going to watch a video about the game awards. Especially when everything in it could be made text with zero loss of information.

Bro if you comment in a subreddit the mods don’t like you’re instantly banned, even if ironic. Mods over there are on a power trip and the lack of a modlog means zero accountability.

I started using reddit in 2011. Was nuts to see the changes it underwent. A lot of them bad.

Since leaving reddit during that protest, been more than happy to call Lemmy home. Especially when I go back to browse reddit occasionally and see how incredibly toxic and negative it is all the time. I don’t know if I was blind to it before or if it got worse. Every comment thread is awful. They focus on the negative of everything and are just bitter and angry.

Place sucks ass.

“Completely fucked.”

Well I guess given your recent movie choices, you’d be an expert in that.

Alternatively, most people don’t want to hear about such things in music because it’s an escape for them. When I’m listening to music its because I want to zone out and forget the world. Often because I’m stressed or overwhelmed. I can relax to the music and drift off.

Every other part of the world is enraged about social issues. Social media, news, TV and movies, advertising, politics, idle chit chat, even the products you buy when they have banners and shit on them. Art can be used to heighten social issues but it’s also used just as frequently to hide away from them and give yourself a reprieve from the storm.

Fair point. It’ll be the same idiotic administration nonsense that pretty much any braindead fool could do given a couple years experience. Soothe the ego of the board, tell people to do the bare minimum, network constantly so you have favors to cash in or calls you can make, and then accept a payout that isn’t remotely worth your benefit to the company or society.

Wait. The Twitch Co-Creator? I’m failing to see how those skills are gonna easily transfer…

I like the concept but some of the answers can be really misleading.

Can be carried, is found in classrooms, not made of plastic, and inexpensive. None of that points towards a microwave for me. Microwaves CAN be carried I guess, but who has microwaves in classrooms? My microwave has plastic cowling on the front, and microwaves are like 70-100 bucks the last time I checked. Some of that is on me for the phrasing (does it contain plastic I guess should have been used, as an example) but it’s a bit odd.

Hell yeah! Voted for all the BG3 stuff but the “Playstatiom Game of the Year?” also voted for RE4 hoping it would win and sure enough, it did!

God I love those two games so much

No Shit. That sort of happens when you’re making insanely stupid decisions. Banning porn gets pointed to a lot but even after that it makes no sense.

They never do any advertising. Ever. Every other social media site will but I’ve never seen an ad for tumblr in my life except *when I was on tumblr itself.

They don’t have anything unique that wasn’t made by the users. All trends and methods and whatever are made by the people. Tumblr itself seemingly just sits there and does nothing.

The site hasn’t been changed much in a decade. There have been a couple tweaks here and there of how things look and function but nothing new has been added. It’s just aggressively keeping the status status quo but the format they’re using is ancient. It feels outdated.

They don’t capitalize on anything important. When Twitter started to implode, Tumblr has a huge influx of users who are escaping Musk but just sat there. All these new people jumped on and were confused but tumblr didn’t even bother to release a short video or a post even welcoming people.

Yet when Twitter then added the “Buy a checkmark” thing, tumblr went “Good idea!” and added the ability to do the same thing as a bit of a laugh. There’s no consistency at all on when to do something.

There isn’t a single serious person working on that staff. Everyone has been running tumblr like it’s some small niche site when it’s one of the biggest social media sites on the planet. I don’t want them to turn into reddit or something but they aren’t doing anything at all.

Everytime I see these I always take solace in one simple fact. This would never be able to pass any disability or accessibility act.

As a proud owner and player of Train Sim World 2 I have only one thing to say to you…

Choo choo

It is literally 1 or 2 seconds. It’s an extremely quick flash that’s in the background. Not even given focus from what I remember, although I could be wrong on that. It was just so forgettable.

Reality.

According to out.com there are 17 and most of them have the representation of either it being a backhanded reference to them being queer or being on screen for all of 3 seconds. Oh lawd jesus. So oppressive.

Just a bunch of whiny people who are so incredibly insecure with their own sexuality that they think someone else could turn them gay. Probably because they spend more time than they want to admit fantasizing about sucking cock.

Sorry. As a gay dude I am just so phenomenally tired of hearing the most represented group on the planet whine about being “under-represented” or having to be “forced to watch gay people, THINK OF THE KIDS” when shit like Boss Baby is created where you have a literal infant lusting over women.

1. Finding Dory: Has a lesbian couple on screen for 3 seconds. Was an ENORMOUS deal at the time. Disney marketed it.
2. Beauty and the Beast (2017 Live Action): Disney specifically marketed how Josh Gads character was their first gay character. They also marketed an “exclusive gay moment”. That moment was him dancing with another man in a group scene for like 2 seconds.
3. Thor Ragnarok: Wasn’t announced until Love and Thunder but Valkyrie is bisexual.
4. Avengers Endgame: Also touted as a “big moment” and the first gay character in the MCU. During the opening grief counseling session that Cap America runs, one dude is talking about how he went on a date with another man. Here’s there for a maximum of 20 seconds.
5. Toy Story 4: You can see a lesbian couple for like 1-3 seconds.
6. Rise of Skywalker: Also touted as a huge moment for Star Wars, Disney started talking about how it was the first lesbian couple. At the end of the movie there’s a 1 second shot of two women kissing. Disney marketed it as first on screen same sex kiss.
7. **Onward:**The cyclops cop is a lesbian. There’s a single line where she says her girlfriend’s daughter did something.
8. Jungle Cruise: Disney said that Jack MacGregor was their first “major gay character”. There is a single line in the film hinting towards his sexuality. Dwayne Johnsons character asks why he never got married and Jack says “my interests lie elsewhere”. That’s it. Apparently that counts for being gay.
9. Eternals: Disney touted that one as being the ‘First Gay Superhero’. He’s not a major character or anything but you do see a scene with him and his husband/son.
10. Cruella: Also marketed by Disney as being their ‘first major gay character’ despite them claiming that twice for Beauty and the Beast and for Jungle Cruise. In this movie, the gay character is the hyper flamboyant, fashion loving villain.
11. High School Musical The Series: A Disney+ show. They marketed that one for the ‘First Gay Disney Love Song’.
12. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness: America Chavez is a lesbian and the movie was marketed for having the ‘First Gay Superhero’, apparently ignoring Eternals from previously.
13. Lightyear: ‘First Pixar Same-sex Kiss in a Pixar movie’ was claimed for this one. However it was only put back into the movie after news broke that Disney was donating to anti-gay politicians and that they constantly cut LGBTQ content behind the scenes they stuck this scene in. Then it came out that this scene too was originally cut. Shocker.
14. Ms. Marvel: Another Disney+ show. They have a same-sex teenage lesbian couple.
15. Strange World: The thing in the meme. First Gay Teenage character.
