  • On one hand I did often see toxicity downvoted on Reddit, and the very few times I saw spam it was correctly heavily downvoted.

    I also often saw subs with "be civil!" as a rule frequently let comments that made good points but just had to throw in an unnecessary insult at the end, even when the person they replied to did not bring any kind of aggression at all. Or comments that were nothing but an insult, as long as the person they were insulting expressed an unpopular opinion. And I often saw unpopular opinions, expressed politely; that weren't "well it's just my opinion of course, you are free to disagree :) but I think it would be best for everyone if the Jews were all gassed," that were not obviously hateful opinions expressed in polite wording but that actually added to the discussion, get downvoted. I often hold majority opinions online so I am not usually the victim of this, but man did it feel bad seeing a reasonable, friendly person who maybe wasn't as anticorporate as everyone else or as informed about things get punished and shown disapproval in a way that should have been reserved for comments of "fucking idiot :)". Which actually received upvotes for being said to someone expressing a non-hateful opinion politely and reasonably.

    I also see all that unkind behavior on Lemmy, though less often. Poke your head in enough "bad news" posts, especially "company does anticonsumer move" posts on !gaming@lemmy.world and you'll probably see some of what I am talking about. I have since learned to either just read the title, or click to the news article and avoid the comments like the plague if I do not want to be upset by "amazing explanation of a point you agree with followed by mean words to someone who wasn't being offensive," or "people online fighting again" or "comment whose only content is insults gets upvoted"

  • So I was browsing the Internet as per usual, and was very surprised to see this ad probably directed at the elderly having an anime-style image. Anyone know what it's from?

  • Do not think the novel has Jim and the fired mage hook up to start a business, cute addition.

    Does not feel too satisfying but that is probably my fault for reading the finished web novel ahead of the manga completion, wonder if epilogue chapter will help.

    Thanks for posting this!

  • There is an epilogue chapter coming out, I think.

    What otome games are you playing this week of April 27, 2025?

  • I checked some of your itch reviews and found it very funny that someone complained about the adding phrases midway when I praised it. Different strokes for different folks!

  • "H" doesn't work, still stuck. Firefox browser on Mac.

    Finished, what an adorable little game. Short, too. I have a lot of long games I'm juggling so it just feels good to have a game I can say I just completed.

    The font you used for things outside the text box was cute! I think the pictured information bar with the numbers is the only place it doesn't really work. Those are longer words and a lot of text to read for that quirky font, not nearly as fast to read as the Chop Wood, Study, Fish, and Menu buttons.

    Your main character art is adorable. But these little guys caught my attention too.

    Aww!

    At first I thought "okay, he's eating only fish? Wouldn't that get boring for him?" (I say, as someone who eats rice daily and loves it, albeit I'm no fish fan so I'm probably not aware of the diversity of his culinary options.) Just now, I realized part of his wizard hat is designed to look like a fish. Oh. Okay. That makes sense.

    I liked the little concentration minigame, and just when I thought I'd mastered it and was maybe getting tired of it you added new phrases to find, that I think were added midway through the level, which was a very cool move that resparked my interest and made me not bored with it again. I only wish that when you think you have found everything, you can click to end the level: I spent a bit of time clicking off the game and typing stuff here in this lil review/feedback waiting for the timer to bleed down. Somehow I feel I could hand this game to a 7 year old to try to teach them about decision-making in the face of uncertainty, and about the very very basics of how you are supposed to concentrate to learn on stuff (different and more advanced strategies become necessary with different problems or health conditions). I don't mean that as an insult, it's just a cute friendly game that happens to be child-appropriate and to have at least a mild attempt at good messaging about focus and concentration.

    and him shrinking his mustache... usually I don't like facial hair on men but that added to his charm as a cute little chibi. He totally turned otome love interest in that final CG when he wins :P What a fun final spell, by the way. And when he was going to shrink an important body part it may make me a bad person to have thought, in this overall very wholesome game, that he was going to shrink his penis lol.

    Nice job to the team, and you for programming!

    Finally, I should probably recommend posting on !cozygames@lemmy.world

  • Started playing, it's adorable. (Stat raisers are enjoyable and magic is always a good lure to make me try a game.) Music feels familiar somehow.

    History > Return on browser just leaves the game totally unplayable. No more UI.

    Might want to crosspost to !Bside@fedia.io too.

  • Saw someone promoting Lemmy Federate again, something they said in their promotion made me wonder:

    What happens if a user is the first to follow a community, so their instance's bot unsubscribes, and then the user unsubscribes?

  • I used to read a wider spread of genres, but I definitely seem to have consolidated towards shoujosei, and as far as I have noticed you are the only one posting that here. I'm a lot more of a "broad tastes" person outside of anime and manga.

  • Another series to toss on my to-read list. This would normally be a "click and read immediately!" but I find myself with more things that must be done in real life nowadays :(

    I ought to mention I'm pretty lucky that one of the active !manga@ani.social posters, aka OP, shares my tastes in manga :P Thanks again!

  • Wonder if any of them have actual recipes you can try out in real life, I have recently started getting into cooking. Food Wars is on my to watch/read list.

  • I guess I am just used to seeing very negative interactions online, especially from two opposing positions, and like to make it extra super clear I'm not trying to be an asshole to you or shit on you, given just how many times I've seen "I disagree" expressed alongside insults, or at least an aggressive tone even if there's no explicit name calling. Call it the pendulum swinging too hard the other way as backlash from it, and a product of me desperately trying to ensure I'm not being misunderstood (it happens!). Thaanks for the details!

  • I feel like you also have a bit of an advantage because people who don't really care about lemmy might not care about an address like lemmy.zip, but crazypeople.online gets attention, as would ani.social from anime enjoyers like myself.

  • Thanks for your work on ani.social :) and probably the rest of the Fediverse, I think I have seen you on my many, many Elevator7009 alts including the dead Kbin ones.

  • Good to see crazypeople.online still having steady growth.

  • These benefits are honestly things that do not enhance my personal experience, but I hope others find them useful. I'm probably forever going to be the "not for me but the community has outvoted me so I guess I can let it exist without complaint for the common good even if I personally don't like it" guy. Thank you for your explanation. You might want to put these benefits somewhere on the Lemmy Federate project sites so people can learn about them.

    for almost every community

    Do you have to sign a community up to have it put on Lemmy Federate, or is everyone's community glommed up regardless of whether it was signed up for it? How does this work? I want to know how it works, all the things an admin needs to know, or maybe a mod, not just a list of benefits.

    Again, thank you for engaging with me, I realize my questions and bias against it are probably seeping through and making me appear more hostile to you than I am. I don't really like the tool but I notice a lot of others do and you did put it forward and, I think, create it with good intentions for the Fediverse, and I (have not contributed any code to the Fediverse's wellbeing) thank you for that.

  • Thanks for bringing this up, I wouldn't have thought of that one myself at all!

  • Since you are the creator, could you point me to learn how it works besides "now every post from communities signed up will show up on your instance?"

    I'll also admit part of my prejudice is because I'll never touch All with a ten foot stick, so I end up not experiencing any benefit personally, and I do not mind checking out communities on their instance if they seem to have no posts on mine.

    Thanks for replying civilly by the way, and not just flipping out on me for my position on lemmy-federate. I am not sure I'd have the same grace in your position, which is why I'm incredibly careful about putting things I make out there online in public lol.

  • Yeah, I was holding off because I'm still compiling the list lol, that is why I only ever popped it in that comment and not in a new thread yet. Want to find gaming genre communities that aren't just my personal Subscribed list to add, that feels selfish otherwise
