Apollo also had the option to swipe to collapse instead, which worked way better in my opinion. Avelon currently allows this too is you wanted to see it in action.
Are you asking the hardcore Christians to leave? Or is that reserved for those you deem as foreign?
The hospitals, schools, libraries, roads and services were built with the aid of the disputed money in the first place.
Funny, I just opened Avelon and saw your message :) I’m bouncing between 3 or 4 apps trying to find the balance. Lemmy had the lead, even with the image viewer as it is. I’ve been waiting for Instance Blocking for a while now, and Lemmy introduced it but it’s been broken since. That’s really the thing I’m missing - just so much shit I don’t want to see in All, but not enough content in specific communities to only view Subscribed.
Agreed, the image viewer is the big stand out issue for me too. The variability of the tap-back-to-full-size is frustrating, and that you can “lose” the image off-screen makes no sense at all.
Thanks for this. I think what you ended up with was the absolute right move. Trying to solidify everything from the top-down, beforehand, seems an impossible task to do well, or with enough foresight to make work across your eventual varied needs. In real world terms it seems sort of Prescriptive, in a vaguely Victorian scientist way; cataloging races instead of meeting people.
I’d imagine working bottom-up, Descriptively, means you can put all of your nuance into a single group or region, per the story you want to tell. You find out who and why, because you meet them on the ground in their actual situation - instead of thinking you can manufacture everything ahead of time in a vacuum. And then the next time your story crosses paths with another such group, you again get to reflect on the individual circumstances that make them even slightly different, and add a new micro culture to your growing canon.
It’s grand, exciting stuff. Thank you!
Sorry, you’ve probably had a deluge of the same comment. Thanks for the great work!
Hey, thanks for adding the instance blocking option. Sadly it doesn’t seem to hold through restarts, it just loses anything I put in there.
You are saying what I’m saying. This is not the traditional view.
Sure, it adds nuance - and if that’s all you care about then you’re all set. But it doesn’t address The Problem, which is painting “races” as monoliths with essential characteristics. Just because you can explain why All X Are Evil, doesn’t solve for it being boring/lame/tending-toward-offensive that they all are. Seems like we dealt with this in other contexts, why not include it in lore?
The thing is, this is still tying culture to race. If there is no racial essentialism to the traits you describe, then there’s no reason to say that some goblin cultures / sub-cultures do understand the concept of property - and disagree with what they understand to be stealing. Etc.
