  • Mastodon Starter Packs

    Jump

  • I already tried them out and made starter packs for Visual Novel developers and artists I like. I got a 500 error a few times while trying to add a user to a starter pack, but apart from that it works pretty well. Wish there were better filtering options for the search though.

  • Ah I see! Sorry, I kinda parsed this as sarcasm 😅

  • How are you doing with your communities?

  • Is there a problem with the link? :0 The thumbnail links to the image due to federation shenanigans (since this is originally a goblin post), but I linked the interview in the post body.

  • Why are people preferring Blue Sky over Mastodon?

  • What S_H_K said, people have reported being rebuked for posting pictures without ALT-text and not CW-ing uncommon things like eye-contact or food, for example. One person notably received angry messages for posting about cutting their finger on a sheet of paper without CW. The worst accounts were of POC talking about racism they experienced and being told to put it under CW.

  • We've had this exact conversation in this community two months ago already, in case you want to back read the comments from back then. Nothing significant has changed

    To paraphrase my opinion from back then:

    • Easier onboarding, and a familiar, easier UX
    • customizable feeds you can subscribe to + starterpacks instantly give you full timelines and people to follow (and followers, if you're in many starter packs)
    • better discoverability, and therefore higher engagement
    • stacking moderation and excellent security features (e.g. detachable quote boosts, "the nuclear block")
    • many users who tried Mastodon first had bad experiences with "HOA"-like behavior and over-enthusiastic mods

  • Religious LGBTQ+ folks who are also anarchist have no safe place to speak their minds, and I think it's a shame.

  • Seconding this! Honestly the aggressive anti-religious attitude that seems to be popular on Fedi and (and big subreddits as well) annoys me to no end, and it always has an air of wanting to feel superior about it.

    Spirituality can be a good, helpful, thing that anyone should be allowed to practice. It doesn't help that people always seem to equate religion itself with big institutions or particularly bigoted sub-groups.

    I don't know if this incoherent rant makes any sense, anyway you're valid and I support you!

  • [Question] Content of this community: is VN dev stuff in general allowed?

    Jump

  • Hi, welcome! I decided to create this as a "Ren'Py and visual novel development" community, so topics related to Ren'Py and vn-development in general are allowed. I didn't expect there to be enough engagement to justify a separate "VNDev" community in the beginning. I also have only used Ren'Py myself, so I couldn't offer support with e.g questions related to other engines. 😅

    If there's actually enough interest in vn-dev with other engines, then I could make a general vn-dev community, I suppose? But thank you for your question, I might add a clarification to the rules.

  • I didn't censor it. The original says "my bals" but there's only a single "bal" at risk here, so I adjusted it (badly) to fit the joke
