Sorry to put your mood down. I was trying less to target you specifically and rant about Threadiverse in general due to seeing the overall hypocritical environment. People cry for one thing and then spit on it when it happens.

Please have a nice day, I know the internet sucks sometimes.

Man, I love Lemmy.

People keep complaining and making posts like “ugh the Americans are always crying on my feed with lazy politcal posts, where’s the funny?” or, “Guys we really need to post more to make the Fediverse more active and friendly,” and then get mad when someone posts more than twice a day.

The account has posted like what, 9 times over the past five days? None of the posts featured AI slop or politics, nor did they only post a single artist or ideology (ie showing signs of being an advertiser/influencer). And we do have purposeful bot accounts on here, so being a bot isn’t inherently bad (especially in dead/low-activity communities).

We have no karma to farm on Threadiverse, so why are people freaking out about a couple of new frequent posters? It’d be different if it was all slop, politics, or advertising, but they’re literally just normal accounts. Do we want active users or not?

Nah, the artist is Lainey.molnar on instagram who hss been posting since 2020, at least according to this proxy website. Her artsyle pretty much always looked like this, and AI art definitely wasn’t that good back in 2020.

Funnily enough, her stuff is supposed to be abpit women empowerment and overall left-leaning stuff, but I always got a weird feeling from her posts and art. Lo and behold there’s a long ass reddit post about her craziness (natural treatments for mental illness, alcoholism, potentially faking queer identity, etc.) Also, I guess she might be an original art stealer, aka a tracer lol. At least tracing still requires some effort.

NOTE: Just because this artist is a bad person doesn’t mean people can be bigots. Don’t reply to this with some “huh looks like the SJW feminist was actually bad, women ☕️” shit. I will block you.

EDIT: Read the reddit post again and apparently she’s been known to recreate her image by creating and destroying blogs over and over. Idk when she started drawing, but she used to have a myspace blog, so once again, not AI. Just human slop.

When I actually did choose to buy from Chick-fil-A in the past, it tasted fantastic, especially the spicy chicken sandwich. Compared to most fast food places, they’re miles better in both taste and service. But I don’t wanna support conservative Christians that are homophobic so I choose not to eat there anymore.

It’s unfortunate that they’re Christo-fasc, cause everyone else is mediocre or awful (well, except maybe Popeyes Chicken sandwich) compared to them.

TL;DR: Misskey/Sharkey is our best bet, but network effect exists and I’m sad because I want more artists.

Honestly, I used Amino forever ago in middle school so I have no idea what it looked like before it died, but I feel like the closest Fediverse comparison of it’s functionality would be Misskey/Sharkey. It has a sleek UI that has a text and media focus (blog style), polls, offers chats (I think), reaction emotes, etc. You could totally make an instance around Anime/Games/Movies/whatever in general, or do focused communities on a specific media, like this Splatoon-themed Japanese Misskey server I used to visit, ikaskey.bktsk.com. I use Aria as a mobile app for Misskey/Sharkey and it’s not too bad, although the webUI for Misskey/Sharkey is truly beautiful and engaging. Threadiverse is too forum focused to truly count as a Amino replacement imo, but none of Fediverse truly fits with how Amino ran (for good reasons lol, we’re a federated social media, they weren’t).

The only issue with Fediverse anything is truly just the network effect. I have a Sharkey account at Sakurajima.social that I barely use because I just can’t find the people I want to follow. Same for my Pixelfed.art account and my Urusai.social (mastodon) account that I have following the mastodon.art instance. Federation kills a lot of interaction too, like not seeing another instance’s posts yet, or trying to like something and it failing to do so, or when you have to pull them up on their local instance. Misskey probably has most of the active artists, but you have to usually know Japanese (I am learning at least), use a VPN since foreginers are banned (and VPNs might not work), and then they defederate with most English instances anyway. Tbf Misskey did start as a Japanese made service, so that’s why it’s like that.

There are so many artists that I wish would at least move to Bluesky and use bridgy fed so I could see them, but most are sticking with Twitter and Instagram because they don’t want to have to move their followers. Fediverse doesn’t have the numbers, and we’re so tech/political focused that it’s hard to advertise ourselves. I check some of the anime communities here, but it’s mostly just posting news about upcoming anime, some borderline empty discussions (about anime I don’t watch unfortunately), and memes. I can’t even find communities focused on individual games and media I like, and of the ones that do exist, they have months between posting times.

Curious as to which country this is, because under US they only have individual, student, duo, and family. Methinks this screenshot is satire lol.

So cool! I never even thought about what software VTubers were using to do body tracking, and that does sound a little concerning to have in the hands of companies. Plus it can help indie VTubers start without having to spend as much.

Straight up stealing from the Cyanide and Happiness with the artstyle too. Sigh…

AI generated. I subconsciously noticed them from the generic artstyle, but I wanted to believe it wasn’t slop until I saw the comments. Probably stolen from cyanide and happiness artstyle.

Like others pointed out, the laptop ports keep changing, Red shirt guy has weird faint patterns going on, and the text in the scroll bar boxes doesn’t line up right.

The main issue the OP is saying is how tiny the text is, and that it’s hidden in the middle of a sea of text. You only take medicine when you’re feeling like shit, so having to squint and find information that is vital to your health is a tad annoying. RIP to anyone with dyslexia, poor eyesight, hangover/drunk, etc. trying to read these labels quickly or in pain.

Maybe I can beg artists from instagram and twitter to migrate/post to fediverse with this. Looks awesome, thanks!

I mean, yes, he should’ve picked a less busy period to test Linux out. But trackpad and wifi issues could come up at any time, which would be troublesome. I’ve gone weeks wihout issues, only to turn my laptop on one day and boom, touchpad doesn’t work. And some days I don’t have my mouse with me to use. And the other issue is Linux is so varied and different that a solution for one person might not work for you. That and lack of proper documentation. I have tried doing crazy shit to fix issues, only to then learn all I had to do was toggle a switch in the settings, but my distro didn’t make it obvious that’s what i should do.

(This LITERALLY is what happened with my touchpad, for some reason it disabled itself in settings after an update a while ago.)

People don’t want to spend weekends fixing their tech, and that’s understandable.

I haven’t tried it yet but Umamusume apparently is fun and even got a reward for ongoing game or smth at GOTY.

Not anime girls, but cookie run kingdom is fun, has a great story, doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to have fun, and lets you easily collect the old characters that you missed, high ranks included

God I love this video and channel

Not saying it’s AI, but anyone feel like the dad has Yaoi hands going on?

For the uninformed it basically means huge, disproportionate hands. I saw his and was like damn, why does he have claw fingers bro?

Edit: Damn I literally meant that the picture doesn’t have any issues making me think it’s fake, I was joking about the hands. Chill with the downvotes 😭

So happy that I’m blessed to not like 95% of online multiplayer games, or mostly the competitive ones. People cry about not having CoD and Overwatch, and I just sleep easy knowing that none of the games my mom and I play are affected 😌

More people need to like RPGs and single player games man

If I could stop being a socially anxious bitch I would, but I debate in my head for 5 mins and by then the guy has already walked away 😅

Same things with girls honestly, I just struggle. But I feel like I’ve gotten better in college about saying compliments to people.

Honestly, I kinda like hearing people’s creativity when it comes to producer tags. But out of the music I listen to, that’s really only common in Vocaloid songs, so I’m not really the crowd people are thinking of 😅

It’s interesting/cute to hear or try to find it for one’s who are still deciding on a tag.

It’s based off a joke about Tumblr banning porn and nudity. We Allow Female-presenting Nipples. It makes it memorable and instantly loveable to me, and I think most of the people who lived through the Tumblr porn exodus to Twitter would chuckle.

I get that Nord is annoying with the amount of sponsorship deals they do, and that they’re probably not a VPN people should trust (or at least high risk people), but YouTubers do have to eat and pay bills man. I skip almost every sponsor I see, as they usually never offer anything I need, but I understand why creators do them.

It’s a necessary evil, as many people (like me) are not going to pay a YT every month to help keep their channel up, especially if you watch many. This is the issue PeerTube has preventing it from being a place that draws in more creators; you can only generate revenue from the charity and kindness of viewers.

Of course some are purely doing channels as a hobby, but there are many who need their channel to live, or have this as a side-gig so they don’t live paycheck-to-paycheck. So can we not judge?
