Yeah it’s difficult convincing people due to sunken cost.

You could be chatting on a better platform that offers everything discord offers for free but you’d have to convince your friends and the servers you frequent to all move.

It’s not about the platform itself as much as it’s about the communities that are all already there.

Even the one person I know who is terrified of losing her account and preemptively set up alternatives on other platforms still won’t leave until something forces her.

As it should be. My cat is aware that he’s allowed to do as he pleases.

It’ll be both good and bad if it happens.

While it’ll be great for the threadiverse to have more growth it will inevitably put us in the crosshairs of bot farms and AI data farmers.

Surprised no one has mentioned teeth.

There was some drama in a discord I was in years ago over it. Not a lot of people knew about its origins and the mod staff in the server banned it from the memes channel without saying anything.

You say that but there’s a lot of work places that will judge you for it, if not outright fire/refuse to hire you over it.

This is also something men have it worse with because it’s used to profile you. In some countries they’ll outright arrest suspicious men due to their tattoos.

I’ll save it as a last ditch effort, since I’d rather detonate myself with the data center than die in other ways.

I almost cried reading the explanation.

Everyone seems to have given up already. No one cares, no one is fighting.

I can’t do it on my own. I can file complaint after complaint after complaint but it’s just been accepted.

Yes but I have a safety net for now.

Edit: I just found out that there’s going to be a data center built less than a mile away from where I live. Life is about to turn to hell.

I wish society was overall more accepting of piercings and tattoos. Some professional fields are way too conservative.

I love soy milk.

I probably need to be on anti-depressants at this point.

I’ve been hoping that something like this would happen for what feels like too long at this point.

I enjoy playing games with my friends :c

Live service gaming is about to get so much worse when companies start obsessing about adding this.

I don’t believe zoos should exist. Those animals deserve to be free in their natural environments living the lives they were meant to live rather than being imprisoned.

Just avoid buying it.

Simply avoiding meat is a lot easier than going completely vegan. You have a very good motivator to do so right now too.

Just don’t eat meat, it’s better for everyone that way.

There’s a lot of femcel communities that do say that, as well as calling them the same slurs they call men. There’s this rhetoric that trans women are a form of misogyny, that men decided to replace women with themselves to devalue “real women” and so on.

It’s mostly restricted to certain corners of the internet so it’s not taken that seriously.

Well yes but there obviously needs to be more aggressive pushback involving real consequences when even simple talk of pushing these boundaries begins.

Appeasement and gentle refusals tend to only invite more aggressive militant responses.
