Fuck morals, fuck purity. Live once in a while, you know?
The way Lobe describes the deathclaw made the creature even more attractive to me… what the fuck?
I can only get so hard lmao
The logical part of me wants to say “Perhaps, but there would be no evolutionary advantage to emulating a species on a planet primarily inhabited by animals that cant stop trying to blow each other up.”
But the furry part of me really really really hopes there is.
I’ve gone under a metric fucktonne of names online, but here are some pieces I’ve drawn for myself and others. You may remember me as CosmicK9, NkoliStvnsn, ChunkleChip or even Faux-Pa (2sofp, 20-Shades-of-Faux-Pa, etc.). I have a certain affinity for canine/canid characters ;)
I’m still accepting free artwork requests on my website at requests.collins-corner.cc. If you would like to request a piece, please be sure to read my ART and TOS.
And enable 2FA if you can. Sure, it’s annoying to have to dig out your phone (or browser extension, desktop app, etc.) for a code, but it’s better than having your account taken over.
While it may be a little demoralizing to see a downvote on something you care about, 'tis a part of life. When I see something I posted get downvoted, my first instinct isn’t to assume it’s people being malicious. I take it as an oppurtunity to look at the post and ask myself “what is it about this post that people don’t like?”.
I noticed another person brought up the YouTube Dislike removal thing, and I’d like to add that programmers were rightfully upset to the point of creating a third-party API and browser plugin just to bring it back. That was more in response to the rampant amount of misinformation and scam videos on the platform, but I think it has some resonance here as well. I don’t think taking away a feedback mechanism, regardless of it’s potential for abuse/harassment, is a good idea.
If I may, I’d like to bring in another comparison- E621. Say what you may about E6, but the up/downvote system there works well because some posts just aren’t good. Sure, it may have passed the janitors, but the post itself and/or it’s contents may be objectionable. With E621, you can hide posts that pass a certain score threshold. This is a good way filter out some of the more… questionable things for a lot of users on top of the existing blocklist system they have in place. Some people may try to game the score system to artificially boost or dump a posts’s score, but the admins/moderators are pretty good at nipping that in bud, so to speak.
Finally, I’d like to bring in the (#)fediblock argument. Even if an instance blocks another, it doesn’t stop the offending instance from replying/reacting to posts that it may have discovered through a relay or another instance. All it does is stop the defending instance from seeing the reply/reaction. Disabling downvotes is the same thing. You can just hop to another instance and see if your post was downvoted.
For now, until the lemmyverse becomes a bit more stable, I don’t think messing with any core functionality is a good idea. It is definitely something worth revisiting again at some point. Who knows? Maybe the developers are working on something to address these concerns.
Gay, Grey-Romantic (I experience romantic feelings in a way I can’t really explain), Grey-Gender (He/They)
or the tl;dr version, gay and queer
Cinnamon on Manjaro.
Yes, I know using Manjaro is cheating, but I could not be arsed to set up a DE by hand for the upteenth time. Manjaro Cinnamon ISO go *brrrrrrrr*
Is there any sort of advantage to getting it from the F-Droid repo as opposed to IzzyOnDroid? I have it from IOD and haven’t encountered any sort of issues.
I don’t really know much about how Lemmy works under-the-hood, but from my previous experience with running Akkoma and Mastodon instances, you can have your instance subscribe to a relay to have messages from other instances pushed to yours. They’re only really useful for smaller (<1,000 users) instances.
In this context, since I don’t know if Lemmy instances can be subscribed to a relay (I don’t see why not since it is ActivityPub under-the-hood after all), I’m not entire sure.
Yeah, I didn’t see anything on their Twitter accounts about planned downtime. Looks like everything is back to normal from my end.
My god… I’m a furry, and even this is too much for me.
FUCK YOU I WONT DO WHAT YOU TELL ME https://youtu.be/jPWYcjypSWo
For me? Feral artwork (hell, I’m the programmer of @FeralBot@soc.cosmick9.net so I’d hope so lol), discreet public exposure/sex (even a good bulge grope or wardrobe malfunction) and good ol’ tighty whities (though I’ll totally accept briefs and/or boxer briefs).
Yeah, I’m pretty vanilla with a hint of nutmeg when you least expect it.
Shit… guess that’s how it works.
