Bookwyrm is a Fediverse alternative to Goodreads. :)

Why is it called Palestine? What happened to the Second Temple?

Kbin doesn't have a tankie problem, though?

The guy running Kbin has a reasonable head on his shoulders. I've never seen any problematic folks there. Heck, Kbin is one of the places Beehaw still federates with.

They've said as much directly. See their post announcing Lemmy: https://www.reddit.com/r/communism/comments/cqgztr/fuck_the_white_supremacist_reddit_admins_want_me/

Hey all, longtime Marxist-leninist, recorder of left audiobooks, and megathread shitposter here.

Posting this in light of a recent one week Reddit ban I earned for shitting on US police, as I'm sure many of us have gotten in recent weeks.

So I've spent the past few months working on a self hostable, federated, Reddit alternative called Lemmy, and it's pretty much ready to go. Unlike here we'd have ultimate control over all content, and would never have to self censor.

Obviously as communists, we agitate where the people are, so we should never abandon Reddit entirely, but it's been clear to all of us from day one, that communities like this stand on unsteady ground, and could be banned or quarantined at any moment by the white supremacist Reddit admins. This would be both a backup and a potentially better alternative. Moderation abilities are there, as well as a slur filter.

Raddle isn't an option obviously since it's run by this arch anti tankie scum, ziq.

I wanted to ask ppl here if they'd like me to host an instance, and mod all the current mods here.

The instance that post mentions at the end became Lemmygrad. Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad are the same people, and the creators of Lemmy hosted Lemmygrad (and are thus admins there).

This was their first post announcing Lemmy as a real thing you could go use. (It's also why a good chunk of the Threadiverse is absolutely infested with tankies.)

"Pol Pot was right" is a new one for sure.

Hey, that happened to me, too!

I got scheduled for a mandatory meeting with 1 hour notice. During lunch.

I asked my boss what it was. He didn't know either. I joked that it was us being shut down.

Sure enough, 1 hour later we were both writing LinkedIn recommendations and helping each other find jobs after it was announced that our whole studio was being shut down by corporate and myself plus all my coworkers were all now jobless.

Which is probably going to be snarky based on his character and the fact that you meet him during the day and have an early conversation with him about sunlight.

So in order to know this is a spoiler, you must have met him and played the game?

Friendly reminder that the described moment is pretty close to the beginning of the game. Like, around the time you have that conversation about sunlight, you can get this voice line.

Who's the thick one here?

Lol. Lmao even.

The sequence of steps you need to see this stuff is absolutely bonkers. Like, 99% of players will never see this one voice line naturally.

Unless "doing things in the game triggers voice lines" is somehow a spoiler now? Spoiler: when you beat this game, the credits roll showing who made the game!

The title reveals nothing other than "hey there's a sun ray that can nuke someone." It doesn't say anything about the nature of the ray, where it is, how to activate it, or anything. In fact, the thing mentioned in the title is such a niche thing in a niche location that most people will miss it, and can only be activated if you do this niche sidequest in a very specific way. You pretty much have to try to do it (assuming you even discover it in the first place - again, it's easily missable).

On top of that, this is something you can trigger within the first half-hour of the game if you tried. It's firmly in Act 1. It has nothing to do with the story, it's just a place you can find early on.

Should I mention that this same act of the game has a wizard's tower in it? Oh, no! Spoilers! A fantasy DnD game has a wizard tower! Hopefully there are no voice lines in there!
