If you remember the drama back when Fabric came around or even before then: the head developer of Forge has been what the youfs call a “discord moderator” for a long time. A petty tyrant stifling innovation and using his stranglehold on the entire Minecraft modding community to suppress competition and simply people he doesn’t like. The behavior was tolerated because no alternative was developed/popular enough to gain influence.

Not sure what the final straw was though. Perhaps a critical mass of mod devs escaping to Fabric.

While cats are inarguably cool, they are also one of the greatest human-caused dangers to life on our planet. They did the right thing.

If you think that right wing authoritarianism is communism, I’ve got a democratic republic to sell. The only way tankie logic is consistent is if you believe that Nazis were socialists and North Korea is democratic. But somehow those are not true yet the USSR was communist? You gotta stop gulping down the imperialist propaganda. I could forgive someone for believing it during the Red Scare, but these days there’s no excuse.

Tankie apologetics are a farce.

For example, Karl Marx. Clearly an intellectual as evidenced by his writings. But his colorblind/radical centrist take on minority rights fits right in with modern conservative extremists. And then the way he framed his opinions led to far right authoritarian regimes co-opting the label of communism.

Yeah I play games to enjoy the game, not to speculate on real money investments.

If you want confetti every time you make a trade, just play Robinhood.

It’s a bit of both. The increase in value for those who got in early is propped up by the hype of new bagholders.

Unlikely. The hype for crypto scams had fallen off hard in the last year. It peaked like two years ago.

An alias isn’t instant privacy. If you upvote your local sports team, downvote a local politician, etc and never comment anti-establishment sentiments that still builds a profile which could interest someone who has no need to have access to that information.

Kind of a bummer for anti-dictator memes. People might have thought they could maintain anonymity by upvoting without commenting. Better to not engage with it at all.

Why does the person have no problem sharing their address with the DMV but gets upset when their address is leaked publicly? Curious. They claim to value transparency, but oppose doxxing?

Yall remember those “your stripper name is the street you grew up on and your pet’s name” challenges? Literally phishing for password recovery keys.

Probably the same thing that happens with Reddit. A slow connection doesn’t get confirmation of posting as fast as it wants so it sends the post again.
