Yeah I find reddit literally unreadable and I have friends that send me reddit poo poo all the time, it's not like i'm just a helpless ancient

I've only ever used an iphone and I have to hit up google to figure out how to open the command prompt

This sort of forum is a treasure

I guess that's the problem. The switch has to stay flipped to "More Bigotry"

Reddit is fine as long as you stick to image heavy boards (porn) and pretend it doesn't have a system for text posts

The same principle can be applied also to twitter and tumblr

Makes social media that much more enjoyable to use when you don't interact at all with the social part

That's a great story, I wonder if the More Magic incident had a part in Terry Pratchett writing about HEX, the magical computer the Unseen University accidentally created, who, among other features, has a teddy bear. The teddy bear doesn't do anything, but if you remove it, HEX refuses to do anything except demand it's teddy bear back.

Oh, absolutely. Those were exactly the kinds of waters he swam in. Just look at the 'hacker' group from Going Postal.

A bunch of posters aggressively :qq:d themselves from QCS right into the Lepers' Colony because there was a crack-down on posts demeaning trans people in FYAD.

Except replace "the United States" with "FYAD"
and "with Gender Magic" with "By Simply Existing"

It was funny when people tried to excuse it all with "well, uh, Skylark is trans, she was ok with all the posts in the thread" and then you look at Skylark's posts in that thread and the last two pages like making fun of non-passing people and posting 4chan infographics

I would like that too, friend, but unfortunately I think FYAD will only regress back to how they were. The damage has been done.

It was pretty gross how they trotted her out like she was their pet as an example of "one of the good ones" basically, but well.....she was pretty gross too.

Probably, Turtilicious wasn't really mentally healthy and was fond of violent rhetoric (usually of the low-level "guillotine anyone who can afford a VR headset" type) so I wouldn't be shocked if they said something that got them on somebody's radar that led to the feds showing up with some questions about them talking about doing a terrorist act a few months after the post in question.
