I mean, I get that, but why? I didn't ask out of an intent to name and shame, I just don't have any clue why someone would go to these lengths to make a couple new communities and astroturf them here. Lemmy doesn't have advertising, or any other kind of incentive to promote a community other than it being active. It's not every post from those communities they picked either, just ones that, at a glance, have passed a certain threshold of upvotes. So why would they be doing this? If you wanted to copy over a community entirely from Reddit, lemmit.online is a thing still. This took some work, and given the bursts of posts they're probably doing it manually.

It turns out that it's actually kind of well-intentioned. Granted, they asked a bunch of other subreddits as well, but they just look like someone excited about growing the fediverse. The only real issue I had was using a non-bot account for self-posts, since it made it seem like they were passing off all these experiences as their own. A note in the sidebar that these are intended to be Reddit backups and that posts are copied over probably would go a long way to preventing the confusion in the future.

And thanks to @[email protected] for looking this up and putting in the work.

Blue Period is mine. I can't quite name why, but it just resonates with me every time. I'd love a second season, but the anime nearly caught up to the manga when it was released.

So, this is getting kind of weird. You don't own a fursuit and don't know what it's like, but you posted earlier that you had taken murrsuit pics. You're posting what you say is OC here, but you've also apparently never drawn?

And now you're asking us what it's like being a furry, even though you told your boyfriend you were one before now. You also say you've been in the fandom for a decade. You even have a sona, one you said a fursuit maker had basically copied. Assuming this post is a genuine question and disregarding what you've said about yourself, you've created two furry communities here and are basically their sole contributor, so it's hard to imagine you don't think of yourself as one.

So I have to know, are you just grabbing posts from somewhere else and throwing them on here as yours? Are you just making stuff up and trying to see what sticks?

I played a ton of it, and it basically consumed everything I did, but after a while I just dropped it. I technically beat the game, but I think it's probably the worst-kept spoiler that finding the 46th room isn't finding more than a fraction of the puzzles the game has to offer.

At this point, it's less of a fun payoff and more of just a feeling of "finally" for the puzzles. There's a room that allows multiples of another room whose puzzle I never managed to figure out after multiple tries, even with heavy RNG manipulation. I have another puzzle that I have to have specific rooms to place as well, which means more RNG. When it's giving good puzzles, the game is a wonderful onion. When you're stuck on a bad one, you're either cursing the RNG required for it, or wondering how the hell the devs could ever have expected that to be solved (looking at you, Room 8's predecessor).

I've got what feels like a ton left to find, but it kind of feels like I'm at the point where the satisfaction is outweighed by the tedium or the sheer confusion the puzzles have. All that to say that this game has totally been worth it, even if I couldn't find myself finishing it.

I don't think it is. I looked it up and couldn't find anything further in the thread from them. Their account has been deactivated, so (I think) the original is gone and we just have reblogs. Wayback Machine doesn't have it either.

There's a version that has a bit more.

Why would repeatedly posting electoral misinformation during an election only result in a ban until the election was over? I don't think these people would become good actors just because the election ended.

I'm lucky enough to have been financially able to buy a home. I had help making the down payment, but we've now got a 30 year mortgage. My monthly payments are less than what I was paying for rent, less than the average rent in the city by almost a third. I got this place with two above-average incomes, and had the good fortune to get it during the COVID housing and interest rate dip, and I still needed extra help.

If someone is stuck with renting, they're likely paying more than they would for a mortgage. They can't save up the money because they're already lagging behind, and the housing market isn't coming down in price, and wages absolutely aren't keeping pace. No one is saying a house would "lock them down," they're pointing out they can never afford it because they can't even come up with the money to show the bank they can save because they're already paying above the potential mortgage payments every month.

But you're saying they won't, not can't, so what should they do to come up with the money? Start selling kidneys? 78% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, and that same link shows 71% have less than $2000 in their savings. So where exactly are people supposed to shit out your hypothetical $30,000?

Vermin Supreme is a real person.

Is that an actual screenshot from the game?

I take it you're not familiar with famous lawyer Saul Goodman.
