Anime girls. Lots of anime girls.
People as normal do just call everything anime loli because hating in anime is popular still for some reason.
There is of course loli in the mix anime has plenty of loli. But to claim it's just loli is flat out trolling.

Except you know stuff like this can still happen here. The frediverse just is like five big pillars. All hoping to God each other stay stable instead of one pillar hoping it stays stable.
Like if lemmy.world just went up and poof it would be really really bad.
My computer a 7900xtx and 7800x3d with a crap load of other stuff shoved in there. Idles around 100-150 watts of power with the screen off.
100 watts isn't a lot, but that's like leaving a light bulb or two on from when I was a kid!
Unless Im playing an idle game that needs it on just let it hibernate.
To be fair, it's also inconvenient convoluted and confusing to non-technical users... So yeah it works and some people can use it and others need their handheld quite a bit to even get halfway.
The same problem matrix as. If you're trying to talk about a discord alternative, you need to aim for the demographic. That is the bottom 50% of the bell curve. If your explanation needs to be longer than two to four sentences on how to use something, then it's already too complicated and will never take off for the use case.
If you're looking for a usable open standard that is reliable, xmpp is incredibly good. It's just not a discord replacement. It's a discord alternative sure. And a good one at that.
But again till the user experience problem can be solved. Like with most open source things they will never be average user friendly.
That might be the stupidest fucking statement ever.
Your basically asking if unicorns shit gold would you take the unicorn poop.
It's nonsensical. It doesn't reflect the reality of the situation. Anyone can make up b******* hypotheticals to make something sound bad. It's still b*******.
Why the fuck would anyone give a fuck about the plutonium stuff? Kick starters, investment backing, and crowd funding are all standard ways to generate initial revenue. It's a f****** company. It needs money to buy hardware in paper server costs. Development isn't free and if you want people to work full-time on something you have to get this pay them.
He basically asked for $300k to start full-time development and Kickstart the company after he left closed development. He provided a full proof of service documentation in history of his closed development.
The only people who have any issue with the plutonium stuff are those who are either too f****** retarded to understand basic business or a too far up their own asses to think that everything should be free in life.
If you self-host you don't have to pay f****** wild concept considering how many self-toast services actually charge you money for full service. So that alone is already one up on a lot of stuff.
A basic subscription is far more reliable than donations if you want a company to be able to actually function. A subscription provides a reliable income so you can actually plan your costs and budgets. It's a far better option than microtransactions that discord seems to want to push.
Cuz again server costs and vitamin costs aren't free. Remember FOSS stands for free as in freedom to do what you want with the software within the license not free as in it doesn't cost you f****** anything.
If fluxer had come out of the gate with no proof of concept, no history. No explanation of the credentials of the developer. No business license and no source code on demonstration and just said hey. Trust me bro. I need 300 Grand then. Yeah it would be an issue. But lo and behold the reality is none of that's true.
Could it all go poof belly up and a month time 2 months a year? Yes of course, small businesses die all the time. 300K is not a lot of money for a small business. Frankly, the fact he only asked for $300k is more of a red flag than he asked for money at all. Cuz he's going to have to pull a lot f****** more money if you wants to do anything remotely clothes to what his goal is. If he had shot for a 500k 600k somewhere in that vicinity. I would personally be more trusting than him asking for $300k. Much more than 600k and I would start asking questions as that's a little bit much for a initial investment backing.
Seriously, the more I look around on Lemmy the more, I think that nobody here seems to actually understand that s*** costs money.
Unlikely. They make for poor discord community replacements. There's just too much complexity at the door.
Most things are looking towards fluxer as the replacement. Since it's actually a discord replacement unlike xmpp or matrix. Which are alternatives not replacements.
Closest your going to get is fluxer. It unfortunately only just entered open beta. So the self host option while there... Is not simple yet.
Tho it's on the road map.
It broke 100,000 users and growing. The $300,000 the dev raised with his backer Kickstarter thing really is going to get stretched thin really quick with how fast it's growing.
He's already had to roll out more servers a few times to my understandings too. Well, self-hosting is currently a thing. It's still under active development in that really needs to finish up quick to help offload some of the load.
Honestly, once the mobile app is finished and the self-hosting is more stable, it's basically going to be like the old days of TeamSpeak 3 s when everyone actually liked it.
But with all the modern conveniences and benefits of discord.
It is the only thing currently going around. That's actually trying to be a replacement for discord. Keyword replacement not alternative.
Like xmpp is an alternative, not a replacement.
The ever continuing trend of foss enthusiasts having less then no fuckinf clue the FUCK normal people use computers for.
Xmpp is great but you are 100% right. It's not a discord replacement. It never will be. It is court replacement and it is not trying to be a discord replacement. People need to stop trying to force it to be one. The same thing goes with matrix though to a lesser extent.
Matrix at least is trying to be a team's replacement, which is a legitimate alternative to what discord does for the average user.
Matrix has a whole host of other problems that will make and never be a viable alternative. But none of them are technical in nature. It's mostly just the fragmentation will nature of it. And how confusing it is to navigate.
At the moment the only two legitimate replacement options are stoat and fluxer. Stoat is a dead end and unluckly to go anywhere. While fluxer is only like 2 weeks into its open beta just released its code base to the public after a long-ass time of closed development. And barely has enough funding even with their Kickstarter thing. Fluxer has passed 100,000 user Mark already and growing.
It's also the only thing that's actually trying to be an app for your average user. It's actually targeting the same demographic discord was.
Which matters a lot. Matrix xmpp all these other things aren't targeting the same demographic. They are not trying to be a replacement. I mean, I'm sure they're happy to scoop up some new users and help expand their reach a little bit who doesn't want to see their project grow after all.
But all these people trying to push matrix xmpp and what not is like going to a construction site telling a worker. Hey, your pickup truck is old and s***** you should stop using it and go use this nice moped while they look at you. Like you're a f****** retard as they have to lug around a ton and a half of materials and tools everyday in the moped. Why perfectly good means of conveyance will do the job better than the pickup truck as the purpose of a vehicle cannot fully fulfill the same role that the pickup truck fills.
This was voice dictated if the grammar is f***** up. Sorry my brain don't work too good sometimes
They never do... The lids went even real. We all just collectively think they had lids. It's all a lie.
Matt Smith as neo would be amazing
If it's optional then you don't solve any problem. If it's not optional you create new problems.
It's very catch 22.
Cause if it's optional then all you have done is create various size bubbles of failure that don't actually solve anything. It also create admin abuse vectors.
End of the day, shit cost money. As much as people love to live in bullshit denial about that fact.
Unless people are willing to pony up said money for free out of their own goodness with no strings attached AND you find people that are entirely trust worthy to manage those funds and put them entirely and only towards the intent they were given.
You will always find the same problem. Shit HAS to be centralized. You can have more then one central pillar that stand together but at the end of the day all your doing is spreading the load.
You can't have an infinite number of pillars either it's just not possible. And that's the "idea" behind shit like federation. That some magic bullshit will happen and we will totally spread the load, costs and burder so perfectly that it can't be knocked down.
When in reality it's even more fragile than a single pillar supporting everything.
You have to find a middle ground, a number of central pillars that support each other. But you have to accept your just creating a more unstable house of cards.
Where a single sole pillar is easily corrupted, a group is easily toppled.
The frediverse is slowly learning that the idea behind it is a lot more iffy in reality then on paper. Hopefully it will adapt and not just stubbornly ignore the problem because of stupid shit. Because I fully believe that given enough effort the "decentralized" path as laughable as that term is. Is the right one forward.
I have very little faith in people to not be stupid tho.
Where I grew up it would be femme and butch. While where I live now it's more vibes based and fluid.
But where I grew up you basically had tomboys, which were the twinks. Straight but masculine. Femmes which were gay and girly. Dykes which where gay and in the middle. And butch which where gay and extremely masculine.
The terminology around where I grew up also hasn't really changed in 20 years.
Tomboy and butch are two very different things.
A butch is a specific type of lesbian. The equivalent to a bear in gay social circles.
While a tomboy has no inherent sexual preference connotation. It's just a girl that acts semi masculine. Tho it is now mostly used as a slur the next step after tomboy would be dyke. Which does carry sexual preference connotation. And would be a masculine lesbian. But not quite butch.
And like with most of things when it comes to these labels. They basically are all rooted in reclaimed slurs, stereotypes, regional expections or variances. Etc.
The queer community where I grew up uses vastly different terminologies then the one I live in now for example. Some of the terms used in one are slurs in the other.
So arguing over this to a large extent is pointless just cause terms vary so much.
Cachy is literally just more sane gamer defaults. It also holds your hand with updates more then endeavour with it's updater. That would be why.
