Social media be like:
"Hi I have a very specific question"
Lots of people: "Well it's not what you asked but..."

I'm going to be looking at doing an adverts test on @gamingonlinux soon, only for users not logged in. As much as I hate them, I am a little capitalist bitch and frankly I need monies. Seeing an uptick in attempted casino spam on @gamingonlinux but thankfully our moderation queue system catches them :) So glad I manually approve the first few posts of all new users, really helped basically remove spam and toxic hit and run posts. How in 2024 are news reporters still punching down on people that play video games Sky News are clowns For anyone who plays #WarThunder is there any way to make the spectator camera not absolutely shite? I'm cackling at the latest developer post from Mike Blumenkrantz. He's now the Working Group Chairs of OpenGL at Khronos, and naturally because he loves memes, his official photo is basically a meme. Them: you are without a doubt, the worst journalist I've ever seen Me: ah, but you have heard of me Wow, got totally called out for my obviously unprofessional behaviour on @gamingonlinux So here's a statement I have prepared about what I will do... 1: I promise to only shit-post on days ending in "ay". 2: I will disrespect you all, more often. You asked for it, obviously. 3: I will continue funneling money into evil big indie gaming. 4: Shut the fuck up, Samsai. Who are you anyway? Moderation is fun. Saw a comment asking why I used a gender neutral word of "themselves" in a @gamingonlinux article. It's just the way I write, as neutral as possible. The usual "sorry, I'm not native english speaker", that I try to assume is genuine every time this thing comes up. Like when I write "they" instead of he or she. .... @gamingonlinux ... Then I went back at their previous comments, and saw they commented about donating to GIMP because you have to be "woke out of your mind" to be bugged by the name. Sigh. They always out themselves. Hot take: I really hate emails that are just "merry christmas, happy holidays, warm wishes for 2024" sort of thing from any company. That includes you game devs and publishers. It's spammy and pointless and just...noise.

@ThePlant i bet email traffic increases over the common holiday seasons. would be interesting to see graphs on this sort of thing. i also wonder if less common holidays have this issue in other cultures or maybe if this sort of deluge happens for popular holidays in larger countries like china?

@ThePlant You are certainly allowed to be wrong and post wrong things on the internet.  Gems from Phoronix comments: "The advocates for CoCs are often the most abrasive, bullying, unprofessional, vitriolic people you will ever meet." Literally the opposite. It's *always* the people against a CoC that are just...cunts. |
