Go nuts, post all the spoilers here.

Not pinning this one so nobody wanders in on accident. πŸ™‚

Hey Everyone! Friendly neighborhood mod here. As EA launch is less than 3 weeks away, a quick note on how we're handling spoilers here.

Please put all Dawntrail story discussion behind spoiler tags / content warnings (outside of the unmarked spoiler thread)

Go here if you want to discuss things spoiler-tag-free.

If you see any unmarked spoilers elsewhere, feel free to report 'em.

FFXIV traffic here on my humble Lemmy instance is still pretty chill, but I'd figure I'd get out ahead of the problem just in case. See you all in Tural!

possumpat.io is the instance this community is hosted on. It's a (bad) domain name jokeπŸ˜…

We're set on moderators for now, though thanks for your interest.

Welcome! It's a bit slow around here compared to reddit but the vibes are chill. 😎

I love cbu3 leaning into the Phoenix as their mascot, glad we're finally getting the coil version as a mount.

That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there's almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I've been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.

 

Hey everyone! Admin of possumpat.io here.

It's been a amazing to watch this community grow on my humble little possum themed instance. As far as I can tell, it's the largest FFXIV community on Lemmy so far. Neat!

In an attempt to be proactive and anticipating more growth, I'd like to try and bring on a couple more moderators to help keep things going smoothly. There haven't been any issues that need moderation so far on !ffxiv - but it doesn't hurt to be prepared, especially if this community continues to grow.

If you would like to be a moderator for [email protected] (or any other possumpat.io community), shoot me a DM and we'll chat.

I hope they never stop producing these, I need a full shelf of xiv lore.

Thanks for the reply. I've been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren't constantly on top of things.

As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance's stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don't allow. I wouldn't think you'd want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.

Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?

Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the "hardcore" crowd into their own community, we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

The REAL real tragedy would be losing r/shitpostxiv 🀣

As requested in the meta thread, here's a space for discussing tea and tea related things. I'm not a big tea person, so I'd love some suggestions for an icon/banner/sidebar description. Let me know in the comments!

Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it's okay to say you didn't enjoy something.

I'd discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying "Voyager sucks" let's try "Voyager didn't work for me because it was too episodic" (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).

I'd suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.

ULTRAKILL is the most fun I've had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it's super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you're good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.

Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc

I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.

I was first introduced to Trek many many years ago by my dad - I probably owe most of my sci-fi fandom to him growing up watching TNG, DS9 and later Enterprise. If you asked him though, he is probably a bigger fan of Farscape and Stargate. 🀣

Subscribed! For people on the lemmy side, just searching for https://kbin.social/m/thescarydoor should have it come up.
