Many colours, same fascists.

Yes, I understand that. But not everybody can talk all the time like that, some people can only really have enough energy for social media, not talking one-to-one, I know a few.

Woah, I'm not talking about "seeking validation from strangers". I'm talking about building actual community online, and that being all some people have due to either homeboundness, or other reasons where online is the only community they can know, I'm saying such a law would genuinely put those people in jeopardy, no matter what age they are.

Yeah, this is why I find online groups difficult (since they usually have too many people all talking over each other), and offline groups that are too big.

I just like talking to one (or many in the case of plural folks) person at a time, or a very small group where we already know each other.

Yeah, it's sad that they don't, gog really needs to get on it imo. Though have you tried running galaxy through proton?

I want that too, heck even Epic could easily make their games native to linux with a single button press but they don't want to.

I have, sadly. On steam once the native linux version of a game wouldn't run but the windows one would through proton.

However, yeah I agree, they could so I don't know why they don't.

Ah, okay, thanks for the correction!

That's somewhat depressing if so as I've run into so many assholes here. Still, interesting to know.

There are people who literally cannot leave the house and their community is literally on social media. Are you saying their mental health would not decline if they were unable to reach their community due to some asinine law like this?

We aren't sure how this rebutts what we said. Commercial social media seems to us to be the problem for the most part, open source social media run by real people seems to be a lot healthier from what we have experienced.

Excessive social media usage helps no-one.

Only commercial social media.

Very good and well thought out reply! Thanks so much!

Yeah, Heroic is good but sadly it only supports gog and epic. Not everything is from those stores, sadly. Whereas Lutris supports a lot more sources.

Yes. However, before they started supporting and prefering linux, and working on proton then getting any game working on linux was a real mess and the average person couldn't do it for most games.

Sadly most other games stores in the digital space like gog don't give a shit about linux, thus there is still no galaxy on linux, nor are their preservation efforts coming to linux for a long time.

LMAO, I'm probably older than you.

What also tracks is you're a pedantic asshole that somehow thinks that correcting random posts on a forum, and not the original author because it's "Not my circus, not my monkey" (but it is yours to correct random internet posts, go figure) somehow makes you 'better' than others or others 'better' in some way when all it does is show how much of an asshole you are over things that ultimately do not matter and will not in any meaningful way change the world.

This isn't a fucking spelling competition, it's not an academic piece of work, it's not an exam, it's one fucking minor 'mistake' that, no really, doesn't matter and is just a reference to "Comparison is the thief of joy." Seriously, find something better to do with your obviously boundless free time, if you have so much of it you'd have the time to do this.

Instead of realising that language is about communication and as long as the original message comes across fine in non professional context then that's all that matters, you'd rather come into some random thread so you can be a smug asshole from afar.

Now either have something meaningful to say about the actual subject or get out.

Winter actually.

Who?

I've been a moderator on many many things and this is what I've learned:

• Firstly, make sure we are a team with tonnes of support from the get go, both each other and mental health services etc as a bare minimum.
• Secondly, understand if people need to take breaks as it can take a real toll
• Thirdly nobody on the mod team at all should talk down to or criticise other's work, especially not in a group or public setting. Ask them how they're doing, ask them what support or information they need etc and then give it to them.
• Fourthly explain what is important and why it's important in a way each person can understand. Have detailed documents also explaining this.
• Fifthly have for the users of the service etc easy to understand, non legalise rules, CoCs and guidelines etc
• Sixthly if someone violates the rules then you either talk to them personally, if it's harmful then delete it and if it's really harmful (such as CSAM) then you remove them and don't allow them back on no matter what.

Edit: Oh and make sure the mod team is diverse as things caught by only one subset of the population would not be the same as caught by others. Having people of colour, queer, trans and nonbinary people, cis women, disabled, and neurodivergent etc people on the mod team is essential for good moderation.

That's not an exhaustive list but what I've learned by both being a moderator on many many things and watching others moderate. Hope this helps!

Well, can't be a market if it's not on there 😉

Thank you. Is there a way to do so on iPad and does it have a sculpting app there?
