Cool, still not worth going through all the learning curve for a shitpost and then not touching it again for months

True and it’s basically the same for other Adobe products.
Tried to do some fx using davinci fusion, all the damn tutorials are outdated, too much work trying to figure it out for a shitpost.
It ended with me oppening After Effects, using Copilot and rendering.

Seriously, hate that now people call everything a meme, they don’t even try to make it at least funny.

And it’s still hard to call it a gift, it’s more of an imposition.

Users are free to download Threads and go lick zucc’s balls if they so desire, instances are just protecting themselves and the responsability that comes with it.

It’s getting tired reading so many zucc apologist, I swear they are bots or accounts created for that purpose

Also the ones who post 10 or more things at the same time in their community every half a day or something and fill the fucking local feed all the day

Meh, I already had the game since Alpha (way before it got like 1 or 2 updates via the launcher), got the Beta/Steam version upgrade for free, if it gets updated that’s good, if not I don’t lose anything, no need to go all “no updates so game is dead forever” specially now that they are finally showing things for a future update.

Still looking for a worthy replacement (Veloren is cool and all but something is missing that just can’t seem to keep my interest).

The Cube World dev has posted a couple of news for an upcoming update (basically going back to what the Alpha was, new engine and new things), altough nobody knows when/if it will be released, but it sure took a long time.

All of this.
A friend of mine always tells me this is what keeps them from really enjoying it and I agree, the topics have a very “elitist” feeling, almost like if anything mundane just might be ignored or shunned.

I miss r/doguelore and r/quiereslore

Needs more jpeg

I already blocked the bot, it’s so much spam of so many themes it drowns everything else

You said it yourself, what most people want (and seem to think this is) is a forum, not a fediverse. Imo a lot of the users who feel a strong need to control everything for everyone will end up leaving, since this is closer to what reddit used to be (you went to r/all and it showed ALL, not the watered down version that they forced for advertising reasons) and we all know it’s not for everyone.

Hard disagree, I keep seeing the same news/posts inside and outside Beehaw in other instances that have their own community, sometimes they even have the same name.

Or am I looking at this backwards, and they want their gated garden, absent of slugs?

You could say that, they have said more than once that they want their instance to be their safe-space, which is cool and all, if their users are all up on defederating at the fall of a leaf along with the mods that’s cool, the “problematic” part are the users that join that instance because it’s big but don’t expect them to be like that, because then they have to drop that account and create another in a different instance.
But I’ve said it more than once, until we get migration tools think of your account as disposable or prepare to keep multiple accounts to juggle servers.

That said, I think they would be happier using a forum-like server instead of the fediverse because they seem like the kind of instance to end up isolating themselves.

I still hate websites watermarks, creators watermarks are ok (like comics or art)

I’ve noticed they post a lot of asians and slim/flat women, then the other extreme of posting fat ones. I like thicc and curvy, but I don’t mean fat so I haven’t found a community for me.
Hopefully some time in the future.

At least something very easy to see was when someone asked or mentioned a brand or model, suddenly a chain of users replied with how good or satisfied they were with it, but never replied to other users comments or inquiries, or only did to those that were happy or ok with it

Perhaps harsh but beehaw strikes me as the tumblr/progressive/sjw types that really wanna build their safe space

They literally said they want that instance to be their safe-space, so you are absolutely correct.
Still it’s surprising how quickly a block-happy instance appeared, I was expecting it but not only days into this reddit-wave.

It isn’t about keeping it alive or improving the game, it’s about milking the idiots who keep shelling out money and defending battlepasses + mtx, once the money runs out they’ll just kill it and move on.
