This is exactly the same as what the people who thought the reddit blackout would work said. Mods will get replaced in an instant with bootlickers and then you're stuck with worse mods, congrats you've achieved even less than the reddit blackout. At this point I'd rather see all of the mods that have been around for decades actually stand up for the community that they've been volunteering to support and get replaced with bootlickers so that everyone finally has an excuse to say fuck it and leave permanently. That's better than this weird slow burn we have now where the writing is on the wall and fandom just slowly turns up the temperature on the pot while telling us that they have grand plans to make this place better and that they care about our feedback to mitigate the inevitable Exodus they themselves created. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

I doubt these admins are giving the mods any say in how the site should be handled. Which is unfortunate because the admins don't actually have any leverage over the mods since it's a volunteer position. The mods could pull a Reddit and all collectively just stop doing their job out of protest and there is literally nothing the admins could do about it because fandom's not about to start paying people to actually enforce the terms of service on this site. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 04/17/24 2:04:36 PM #7 | I would propose that all of the mods who were doing all this on a volunteer basis just collectively stop at the same time in protest, sort of like the Reddit moderators were able to do, but honestly I'd be willing to bet that fandom is kind of hoping something like that happens so they have an easy excuse to just shut the whole thing down.

Just thinking loud here... I would argue the opposite.

https://atelier.fandom.com/wiki/Reisalin_Stout Sounds like maybe their advertisers should be told that ads are being put up against horny content. Since fandom is so concerned about this community and that topic, the least we could do is respond in kind by making sure every piece of horny content across fandom's properties gets reported to the ad agencies so we can help them clean up their sites the way they want. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

"If you are holding up a picture of a person, to applaud them for their dress attire, that is objectifying them".

| s0nicfan 04/17/24 12:42:04 PM #5 | It's less the rule change and more the heavy-handed way that fandom push down the changes, asked for feedback, and then responded by letting everyone know they had no intention and of changing any of their actions in the first place. The frustration is ultimately about an investment Capital group funding a company that everyone hates that is starting to take actions we could all see coming a mile away that will slowly whittle away what's left of this community until it's nothing but a bunch of wikis and q&a's.

Wow I didn't know that, super legit. George Lucas is the only person I can point to that engages in what I have to call spite philanthropy. For example, he owned a large lot of land adjacent to his neighborhood and wanted to build an independent film studio for up-and-coming artists to have a place to film at low cost. The other people in the neighborhood complained so much that he ended up canceling the whole project and instead donated the land to the township under the explicit agreement that it can only be used for low-income housing: https://www.pacificresearch.org/george-lucas-reluctant-yimby/ I'm pretty sure him selling Star Wars to Disney and then donating the money was similarly motivated. He had to know Disney would drive the franchise into the ground, but he also didn't seem to love how crazy and obsessive fans were, so giving them their monkeys paw wish and then using his profits for charity absolutely lines up with something he would do. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Decades of mass shooters and overt calls (not to mention actual attempts) for violent overthrow of the government by right-wingers, you mean. No, I mean when the government looked into election interference by Russia in 2016 they found an almost equal amount of paid propaganda in support of both parties. They find wedge issues and then intentionally inflame them until everyone hates everyone else. This has been extensively reported on and a known strategy Russia and other countries have been using for decades. Luckily for them useful idiots play along because they're looking for an excuse to hate anyway. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/amp/nation/russian-propaganda-group-purchased-ads-facebook-2016-election-heres-means Facebook found 470 inauthentic accounts associated with approximately 3,000 political ads from June 2015 to May 2017. The ad purchases and accounts are affiliated with a Russian "troll farm," dubbed the Internet Research Agency, which spreads pro-Russian propaganda and false information across the World Wide Web. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

If it's open source, they can all manage their own approach based on some common data interchange standard. With this in mind, I'm mostly concerned with the backend architecture.

Who's gonna win the Victory Royale in Fortnite: CE edition My life fades. The vision dims. All that remains are memories. I remember a time of chaos, ruined dreams, this wasted land. But most of all, I remember the forum warrior, the man we called Vegy. To understand who he was we have to go back to the other time, when the internet was powered by black humor and ISPs sprouted great forums of content and controversy gone now, swept away. For reasons long forgotten two mighty Fandoms went to war and touched off a blaze which engulfed them all. Without users they were nothing. They'd built a house of straw. The thundering topics sputtered and stopped. Their leaders talked and talked and talked, but nothing could stem the avalanche. Their world crumbled. Forums exploded a whirlwind of shitposting, a firestorm of fear. Men began to feed on men. On social boards it was a white-line nightmare. Only those mobile enough to quickpost, subtle enough to criticize would survive. The mods took over the highways, ready to wage war, and in this maelstrom of decay ordinary men were battered and smashed men like Vegy, the warrior Vegy. In the roar of a policy-change, he lost everything and became a shell of a man, a burnt-out desolate man, a man haunted by the demons of his posts, a man who wandered out into the wasteland. And it was here, in this blighted place, that he learned to live again. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Maybe. I think we've also seen that rich people at times just like living in California. Obviously we shouldn't assume that there's no breaking point, but man. It's very very unsympathetic Let me be more specific. What I meant by interesting is that I think it will have fairly significant unintended consequences for areas that are tech hubs or have built up a really dense concentration of expertise. Not specifically that it will damage california. It'll have the same effect with manhattan. It might actually be really helpful in the long term because it will force industry to spread out a little bit more rather than concentrating into only a couple of places, creating this endless spiral of pay raises and incentives to motivate people to move there until the cost of living is completely unsustainable. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| s0nicfan 04/15/24 1:45:31 PM #3 | What will be interesting about this is that on paper it absolutely destroys states like California where the cost of living is so high relative to other states. If businesses weren't already incentivized to move out, all of their executives now being in a position where the value of their pay is much more important than the number certainly gives them another reason.
