The only reason the Fextralife wiki exists is because they use it to inflate their twitch channel viewercounts and channel metrics for sponsors with the embedded stream on every page(Unless twitch finally fixed this loophole). The entire business model of Fextralife is literally farming ad revenue so this doesn’t surprise me in the least.
I have no interest in seeing AI art either, but complaining about something you can easily and quickly fix by just blocking the community is pretty dumb.
Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!
You seem to be conflating two unrelated points. When people say “tourists need to go home” or “we need less tourists,” they aren’t referring to some philosophical argument for the existence of tourism as a gauge of economic health for the middle class.
These phrases are almost exclusively speaking in regards to tourism’s negative effects on the local environment and population. Heavy tourism has a tendency to cannibalize an areas resources and then alienate or push out the native population.
You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.
Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.
Yup, me too. I used to be able to get lunch for a week with $20 back in high school in the mid-late 2000’s. Almost everywhere had a dollar menu where you could get a pretty decent meal for a few bucks. Over time the portions got smaller and more expensive though to the point where you can’t really do that anymore.
The $5 footlong hasn’t existed for years (honestly maybe a decade) at this point. It’s like a $10 footlong now.
Ahhh I had a bit of a, didn’t read the article, moment and that was the missing context for me. I appreciate you clarifying!
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but this referenced ad post is over a year old. There’s been “organic” guerilla marketing by advertisers on Reddit for almost a decade now. How is this relevant to the recent changes?
For what it’s worth, I saw your posts on Yiffit when you found all this out after the fact. It’s a little inconvenient on desktop, but on mobile it’s actually very intuitive to have separate accounts to specifically browse an instance by local. You can usually even have the same display name if that’s important to you as well.
In the future though you always do need to keep instance politics, culture, and rules in mind when choosing a daily driver account because it is important.
The admins of Lemmy.ml are staunchly against any pornographic material being federated to their instance. This stance is unlikely to ever change and you should not expect it to.
Personally I would just recommend keeping two accounts if this is your problem - one general purpose and another for being able to view NSFW.
There are plenty of situations where a post can be good and on topic for the community it’s posted to but unpopular to a larger, widespread audience. There are also absolutely people who will instantly downvote these posts instead of just blocking the community that isn’t relevant to or doesn’t interest them. If a post is bad it will still get the downvotes, but it would help it to find the correct audience for it if there’s a slight delay because two or three downvotes can be a death knell for a new post.
It appears that it is/was an anti-feminist movement.
The commenter is being a jerk, but you’re misinterpreting the point they’re trying to make. Twitch has a had a lot of issues with rules enforcement since the introduction of the ‘Just Chatting’ section when it comes to sexual content. What’s considered acceptable has only ever been nebulously defined in the TOS really.
Because of this a lot of disproportionate bans have happened on women simply for existing, largely affecting smaller streamers because large ones generally just get a slap on the wrist. On the other side of the spectrum the rules have also allowed for a lot of loopholes being taken advantage of, like for example the hottub craze. The other commenter is not exaggerating when they are saying that people stream themselves pole dancing and doing strip teases.
Whether you agree or disagree on the level of sexualization that should be allowed on the platform, what’s considered acceptable use definitely needs to be more rigidly defined for the benefit of everyone.
How else will they push their UFO conspiracy theories? It didn’t work the first dozen times so might as well keep trying.
I agree completely and generally describe it as a single-player MMO experience. It does a great job of incorporating the FF storytelling into an MMO environment and I personally love it. I haven’t played since they massively condensed the ARR content a few years back.
At the end of the day though, an MMO and a traditional RPG play very very differently and attract a very different audience so I usually give it an asterisk.
The newer games still have the same general story elements and themes that were characteristic of the entries you’re used to, but the combat is more like an action RPG. The sky pirate one is FF12(my personal favorite one) and Lightnings entries are FF13. Since 14 is an MMO you’ve really only missed two main-series games.
I’m waiting on the latest entry, FF16, to be released on PC so I’m no authority, but from streams I’ve watched the combat is pretty similar looking to the Devil May Cry series.
I see you’re Canadian so I can understand your frustrations (I wish the US would go metric personally) and I agree that if there is a chance of confusion, defaulting to being more specific is always correct. I’d say generalizing this to a situation where absolutely everyone else is also using mixed standards is not correct either.
There are also a lot of places in the world where you can be making small talk with a stranger about the weather and how nice a day it is at 22 today and both parties would understand the statement.
Ridiculous is definitely not the right word to use in this case, I will admit. I think my point still stands though. Many people are used to being in a situation where people implicitly understand what they’re referring to. If people can shorten language in any way while still retaining the same meaning they will in a lot of cases.
Is your taskbar normally locked a half inch above the bottom of your screen? Have you updated your graphics drivers recently? If not, start there.
