It used to be. Politeness is a social construct and changes over time. I could name all sorts of horrible things that used to be polite. And even today it’s polite to casually talk about paying for a dead body to be cooked at a restaurant.

It used to mean a woman who has sex with lots of people, and it was derogatory. You’d call a woman a slut to shame her, because old people hated sex.

You’re not supposed to find all the koroks. The golden shit is to tell you that you did the wrong thing.

I’m a wise person. I have a discord server dedicated to helping people with their identities, including neurodivergence and sexuality. But you will end up meeting some very queer people with identities you never knew existed, and you’ll have to be respectful.

How long would you say it takes to change your username and pfp on Matrix if you know exactly what you’re doing and have done it plenty of times before? 20 seconds? Pluralkit can do a proxy in 2 seconds. 20 seconds is not an acceptable delay to sending a chat message to most people, but 2 seconds is.

And what if two members of a system are in a conversation, possibly with a third person? Is it going to retroactively change the username and pfp on the old messages? Cause that would turn the conversation to complete nonsense. Imagine I’m having a discussion with some friends, two of whom are in a system, I step away to go to the toilet, and when I come back 5 minutes later I can’t tell who was talking in the last 5 minutes.

That’s really strange, this seems like the sort of Lemmy instance where people would care about accessibility the minute they heard about the issue

I once knew a system with 400 members. That’s not common, but it is a thing. Systems of around 10 people are very common. Discord only allows up to 5 accounts. And only up to 1 account on mobile. And besides, having to maintain separate email accounts, even for a small system, is a burden. What about walk-ins and dormancies? What about new members who are still figuring themselves out and might want a change of name later? Pluralkit makes it all simple.

Player in My Glitch game used a monkey paw to wish for Half Life 3 to be released. Now the whole world knows he’s the guy who made Half Life 3 suck

We’re playing Glitch! It’s about retired world-killing void gods who solve mysteries and go to therapy

I love military gothic style so much

Excrucians are soldiers trying to destroy the world and kill all the angels. Swords are useful! Especially if they’re the god-slaying kind.
