http://breadnroses.net

It's been around since January or so, has an establish userbase, was created back during the big simultaneous c-spam and trans goon castoff by the taxman. Varied topics, from C-SPAM style politics, shitposting, queer stuff, furry stuff, games, electronic projects, lets plays, etc.

There's a paywall post-registration, so if you register and don't wanna pay just feel free to DM me here or on discord at queen_combat#7777 for approvals after you reg and we'll push it through, or pay tenbux for immediate access (I'll be up all day).

We've had an 800-person, six-month-long beta test that's gone successfully, it runs xenforo, you can ignore threads and subforums as well as people (completely silent ignoring as well), and has a good backend setup. Also lmao today's registrations have quickly reached parity with lowtax's patreon, so we're set up for the next year or so if you're wondering about funding at all (and that's just the people that have CHOSEN to pay).

Anyway, the big thing is to choose what you like. Not saying bnr is the end-all be-all. But if you're gay/leftist/furry/horny/comfy/classic/pepsi/tormp/angry, maybe give it a look. No invite code needed or any of that.

E: and also nobody is leasing a loving 2020 nissan or pies or any of that poo poo with the funds. nobody paid, all volunteer including the owners.

10 reasons to post on tHE r H i z z o n E (number 9 will delight you:)

1) You want a place to talk poo poo where jokes are legal and doxxing isn't.

2) You're a leftist with powerful rare skills like "Read Book," "Go Outside," and "Do Something."

3) You have the properly developed social boundaries to not constantly insist on telling everyone how horny you are.

4) Your discerning taste prefers handcrafted, artisanal offsite pitches, written just for you in this very thread.

5) You prefer the stability of a community that has built up a decade of trust, rather than a desperate bonfire huddle someone lit last Tuesday that lasted 15 minutes before everyone started highlandering each other for leadership.

6) You long for a true forums democracy where you, the people, get to vote for your moderators, and we the elite get to choose who we wanted to win anyway.

7) You were originally banned from SA for fun stuff like groverhaus and goatse, not legitimately insane poo poo like death threats.

8) You've acquired stockholm syndrome for the rustic charm of a trainwreck website custom coded from scratch.

9) Your commanding officer at the Agency says you'll get a fat bonus if you take this surveillance assignment because no one else wants it.

10) You genuinely wish the bread and roses folks all the best in life but would really rather not post anywhere near them.

What can discord bots see that a normal user account can’t? I’m curious as to how the GDN bot was once (but not still?) used for doxxing.

Is there a real consensus on whether or not GDN is “safe” now?

To cut down on rumors: the bot has always been safe. Per the GDN thread:



Note that the bot is also open source, located at: https://github.com/MasterKale/gdnbot2

You should probably read DiscordAPI to see what bots can read or not. GDN was never used for doxxing. It was another bot, named Brobot, coded by another Goon that used to have a bug that caused some kind of security compromise. This other bot doesn't exist anymore and the source was deleted by its original author.

GDN Bot has always from design to be used only for authing somethingawful forum accounts into discord. For anyone who has any other doubts and wants to feel safe and secure about what GDN does or doesn't do, they should check the Open Source Repo of GDN at https://github.com/MasterKale/gdnbot2.

GDN has also been certified by Discord, therefore it does what it does, and Discord approved it.

I looked at the rhizzone several months ago and my takeaway was that it was full of really smart people engaged in high level leftist philosophical/academic discourse which is all fine and good but it is deathly boring, challenging and not relaxing at all. You have my sincere admiration but SA is mainly entertainment for me, and the rhizzone is like the opposite. Revolutionary homework

They're probably not actually smart and just regurgitating jargon and poo poo they read on Twitter the same way they do here

Iwillmakethewebsite.com has been a bustling enclave of joke workshops(so fun!) and wonton general topic discussion for going on a dozen months or so. It's a self moderated space that allows for the experimentation of a rubberbanding power structure of preventing any posting who to grow too unwielding.


Its' thriving through donations from the typical expat goon wayward who arrives desperate for that familiar camaraderie and hoity chortle. This of course allows the website owner to procure enough albino infants for the triweekly sacrifice(which no one, but a select few know about this((secret mods with control panel access, since owner doesn't want to manage just own.)

Come on down!!!!

absolutely anyone who remembers previous goon exoduses like wddp knows bnr is going to explode in a drama bomb within 6 months that will result in the chill forum getting shut down and a mass ban wave and if you’ve ever quoted the wrong poster you’re getting banned. it’s just the way of the world

Thanks all. I don’t mean to spread FUD or anything, I was just hoping to get a tl;dr on what bots can/can’t do without having to dig through api docs.

I was more curious on what the technical details were on how a malicious bot owner _could_ use it against anyone.

Like there is a bot in the “main” SA server that grants you some kind of permission when it sees .EAYOR. What is this, why do you need to issues this command and what is the bot doing? I think people would be more comfortable with Discord and federation networks, etc, if they exactly what that kind of thing was all about.

Isn't that just literally Bread N Roses or whatever

The bit about ResetEra's (NeoGAF followup) founding that its posters and admins didn't bother to tell you was that it was founded by a very insular group of politically aligned posters originating from the neoliberal hellhole politics megathread on GAF who were planning the site and the move well before any accusations of the admin being a sex pest showed up. It's why they got things set up so fast to begin with. All because they didn't like how GAF was being run or moderated and basically just wanted a modicum of power for themselves

Oooooooooooh!

While I think Bread and Roses has potential, it's kinda obvious that half of the forum breakdown (the Bread part) is a ghost town, while the other half (Roses) is closer to what SA offers.

If goons move there, it'd have to restructure a lot of its layout and subforums if it's going to be an equivalent successor.

I’ve posted more in the last few days than since 2006 or whenever I finally registered. There’s something special about SA that I’ve not been able to properly explain to anyone IRL. It’s awful, but it’s also really good - especially since the base has matured and grown up to be (mostly) pretty decent and (mostly) intelligent people.

I feel like nothing will properly replace it, kind of like with slashdot.
