@lina this is like those foss apps that have in-app purchases on the play store version but you can just get all the features if you download the apk from the gihub release

Before posting "Y sucks", have you perhaps considered you might just personally not like Y?

Before posting "you should use Z instead", have you perhaps considered that other people might just personally not like Z?

People are allowed to have different preferences and desires and priorities. That is part of what makes us human.

If you want to replace Y, *listen* to what the users of Y want. Otherwise you are just shouting into the void, and making them want to try Z even less.

this is the worst comparison i could have possibly made

six seven is supposed to be a dead meme and i think thats true in the same way that ligma is a dead meme.

STOP SPREADING MISINFORMATION

“Testicular torsion only happens clockwise” is an overgeneralization of the fact that testicular torsion is caused by the Coriolis effect. In the southern hemisphere they twist counterclockwise.

im so cancelable

yesvember or something

i really wish there was even a remotely competent booru for furry stuff cuz like. e621 is the closest we have to A Functional Booru but e621 is also. Ass. on top of the tagging system being… let’s just say suboptimal. and that’s not even talking about how, if you want to even be existent on e621, you practically have to only make porn art because nobody uploads SFW art there and nobody interacts with or upvotes SFW art there, and yes i know that’s because SFW artists upload elsewhere but that’s not the point. the point is that there isn’t a single competent booru. do not even tell me about FA or IB their tagging system is basically nonexistent.

my take on the new* bot/“this account is automated” tag meta/drama is that none of y’all actually care about accessibility or whatever and it’s kinda annoying to need to keep reminding myself that this isn’t a meaningful conversation to have like, ever. accessibility isn’t defined by what you consider to be “accessibility” and this argument goes both ways to both sides of the drama.

the bottom line is: if a feature reduces the friction of usage for a particular group of people, then it’s an accessibility option. this means that “having an IRC bridge” is an accessibility option, but it also means that “letting people completely filter out all bot accounts without having to manually mute them one by one” is an accessibility option, simply because it reduces the friction of usage for even just that one person only.

the dilemma of accessibility comes down to “okay but no one else cares”, which is exactly why people keep having this drama over and over again.

reminder that “accessibility” doesn’t give you moral high grounds– and i’m sick of people saying that in order to gain moral high ground. you don’t gain moral high ground by pointing out that something else doesn’t give you moral high ground. you assume so much of the person you’re talking to by assuming they were trying to gain moral high ground. this whole thing boils down to how i’ve felt about cancel culture as someone who’s actually been cancelled before– nobody actually cares about the people that got hurt, everyone is just here to be angry about a topic and then jerk themselves off to the thought of “having a better community”. see also people starting to say that this accessibility thing is “the most <insert instance> opinion ever”

the more i exist on this platform the more i realise that some people don’t know how to socialise and i can’t just go around telling them what to do because they’ll just angrily tell me how they’re actually completely right in being a nuisance to other people publicly.

*this drama is not new at all, this happens like every 6 months. with the same people reaching the same conclusions, and here i remind you that both sides are annoying because they both devolve into a spit war.
