re: Cities Skylines II copaganda, violence
@hazelnot I have similar questions about the continued car-centric-ness...
re: Cities Skylines II copaganda
@hazelnot @sieri@weirder.earth Had the exact same problem. I assume it's a bug?

death of my friend, a request
in the light of recent events, i want to ask any furry artists that are here for a favor
my friend CK, who i have lost to suicide, was a furry. he had a manul sona. i have an artwork of his that he used for a profile picture. he always wanted to have more, but due to his poverty he couldn't afford them.
and...i thought, what if someone could like, draw something in memory of him. as a tribute. it's what he would've wanted.
please boost. my dms are open.
re: community moderation hot take
@LevelUp While there are definitely many other signs of this sort of 'viewpoint of entitlement', IME they are less of a slam-dunk conclusion than the phrase I quoted.
When someone says "mute me", for example, that could be a sign of entitlement (in which case they should be banned) *or* it could be the conclusion after genuine consideration (in which case this doesn't apply). So I'd treat that more on a case-by-case basis.
re: community moderation hot take
@fogti@chaos.social Nowhere did I say that there shouldn't be one.

re: community moderation hot take
Since this seems to have confused a few people: the "do what he feels like" quote in the original toot was meant literally.
Yes, that is almost word-for-word what every one of these people says. Yes, the language really is that consistent. It's a very specific expression of entitlement.

re: community moderation hot take
@fogti@chaos.social When I say "without consideration", I really do mean "without consideration". That means that the other person has *also* not considered whether it was a reasonable complaint or not, and just assumed that it wasn't.
This is something that is identifiable as a moderator.
re: community moderation hot take
@fogti@chaos.social The key point here is the "dismissive response by default without consideration", the exact matter which they were asked to stop does not matter for that
re: community moderation hot take
@hazelnot Yes, it is very specifically that, that's why I explicitly quoted the "do what he feels like" part, because that's almost word-for-word what such people say
re: community moderation hot take
@hazelnot I'm very specifically describing a dismissive-by-default attitude, not just "disagreeing with the complaint" in general.
re: community moderation hot take
To emphasize: the point here isn't the specific thing that they were asked to stop. That may well have been something small and relatively insignificant.
The point here is that they have shown unwilling to consider the impact of their behaviour and words on others, as a matter of procedure, as a default response.
This means that the same will happen for more severe incidents, *including those that you will not recognize as incidents* because it affects a marginalized group that you are not a part of.
community moderation hot take
If someone gets asked not to do something by other community members, and responds by laughing at it and saying that he'll "do what he feels like"...
Ban them.
Doesn't matter if the person who asked them was "just another user". Doesn't matter if they're a productive contributor. Doesn't matter if they say they will listen to a moderator. Doesn't matter if it was just a small gripe. Ban them. Right away.
They are telling you that they have no respect for the well-being of other community members, and that this is a deliberate choice on their part.
There is no possible way in which they will ever be a positive addition to the community, unless they change that attitude. It will not magically improve over time. Waiting for them to offend "more obviously" will just harm a lot of people in the meantime.
Ban them. Do not let them return until they have rectified that attitude.

lucid dreams, sleep paralysis
Huh. Just had a dream that was more lucid than any dream I've had in a long time.
I realized I was dreamy, and that I could 'simulate' pretty much any sensory experience. For some reason, I chose "walking in dry grass", "paddling a boat", and briefly "floating in the water".
Got everything; the crackling noises of the grass, the wavy feeling of the water, the proper directional feelings of movement and muscles - I even adjusted the rowing because it was initially not realistic enough, I was going too fast for the rowing I actually did.
My brain got one detail wrong, though; it believed that I was already half-awake and just lingering in dreamy thoughts, but in reality I'd just *dreamed* being half-awake, and I was still solidly asleep.
I guess that explains why I had difficulty waking up, and why it felt a little like sleep paralysis.
@pi_crew@chaos.social Aside from the serious (unsolvable) reliability issues, a huge problem with this technology is that it is fundamentally based on mass exploitation of labour. That also applies to the "local" tools.
We should not consider this an acceptable thing to promote in the community.
