My spoons are limited, so I may not always have the energy to respond to messages.
Strong views about abolishing oppression, hierarchy, agency, and self-governance - but I also trust people by default and give them room to grow, unless they give me reason not to. That all also applies to technology and how it's built.

re: game design, queer
@ben I don't think I have!
game design, queer
@ben You know, all this is reminding me of how the 'sexuality' mechanic in the original game was really half-assed by someone obviously-very-cishet, and it never actually got fixed in the base game, it was up to the modders to turn it into something that actually kinda made sense.
And the new mechanics from DLCs feel like they're just kind of replicating this failure mode, and leaving out a lot of depth where it would have been cheap development-wise to add it
@ben Oh goddamnit
meta
@rune Yeah, I do wonder how it'll play out. I'm not super concerned about new instances spawning yet, though there's of course always the risk of "the new generation not learning from the previous generations" if all the instances are run by new folks.
@ben The way they're going about DLC is generally very weird. DLC after DLC after DLC out of nowhere, and from what I've seen, all of them feel really... incomplete? I'm not sure how to describe it.
At least they're not just pumping out existing free mods as DLCs like some games are doing, but it still all feels really rushed.
@dreadpir8robots@infosec.exchange @jerry@infosec.exchange One thing I would suggest adding to the rules explicitly, specifically for the infosec crowd: respect community norms and don't treat the fediverse like a data-mining free-for-all.
Unfortunately quite a lot of infosec folks don't seem to anticipate this expectation by themselves...
@rune Time-to-instance is clearly decreasing!

boosts are endorsement and favs are meows

@MerlinJStar@mastodon.lol Beware that the guy who runs the show there has a decade+ history of scamming people and taking credit for other people's work, and is very authoritarian-minded with little regard for marginalized folks :(

babe are you ok? you’ve barely touched your dotsocial metadiscourse
@hacks4pancakes@infosec.exchange ... as long as you block the cryptobro instance (cryptodon), that is :)
@soatok@furry.engineer @Russell Also a perfectly fine option of course, depends entirely on personal preference basically :)
@Russell @soatok@furry.engineer And this is definitely something that people do as well, it's not just hypothetical :)

People need to know that Eugen is a divisive character among people who have been here since the beginning, and particularly among marginalized people. Don’t accept his opinions as gospel. I am more inclined to listen to the marginalized old timers.

Hi folks! Quick tip on what those 'post level' terms actually mean because it's extremely unclear even with descriptions
🌎Public: Shows in Local and Federated timeline for any instance that's relayed with yours or knows about you. Any.
🔓 Unlisted: the least clear. This is still bootable/sharable to others but you only show up on the feeds of people who follow you OR who follow people that boosted you OR direct link.
🔒Followers only: only they can see at all, no boosting
Unlisted is good.

Was just asked by a journalist if I knew of anyone besides white men who would be able to speak about the intricacies of Mastodon and how it works (especially on the backend) - any suggestions?

Trans Safety, health advisory, SLAPP, Gender doctor abuse
It is clear from this that Dr Powers is willing to use his apparent financial might to stifle legitimate critical discussion among the trans community about influential health professionals rather than to simply correct the public record as might be reasonable.
Please share widely.
