He tends to be condescending, toxic, and dishonest. I happened to watch this video the other day that covers a fair bit of stuff including the stop killing games petitions, if you’ve got 20 minutes.

Things like

• completely misrepresenting the stop killing games initiative.
• bitching for quite a while that “someone” pulled a mob during a world of warcraft raid causing a wipe, going back to see who it was to remove them, seeing it was himself and then justifying why it was now the right call.
• running away from his group in world of warcraft in a fight claiming he has no mana, while he’s wasting moves to drain the last of his mana and he has ways of getting around half of it back. This was during some kind of creater guild thing where if you die you lose your character. So abandoning his team to save himself and lying about it.
• banning/blocking everyone who criticizes or corrects him on these things
• DMCA’d and threatened legal action on an indie dev for a parody game that included him as a cockroach.

allowing Nazis and other right-wingers to fester in his community

Would you mind elaborating on that? Is it that these people are in his YouTube comments, maybe on a subreddit? I never followed this guy, I’ve only seen probably less than 5 videos he’s made (likely only 2), one of which was this open source video.

Originally I avoided the guy because he was just a “loud is funny” let’s player, then I heard he said the N word, and i had heard people trying to get him to be the #1 YouTube channel over some music conglomerate.

In any case, while you can do things to attract certain people, I’m not sure how much control you have over your community, which is why I’m asking.

Even if people believe that (and I know they do 🙄) that then gives you a niche for a private business to fill. City store always busy? This private store is more expensive but you don’t have to wait in line as long. People will pay that difference to save time, especially in NYC.

Focus on users as well. Not that many people care enough to come post articles on here about Trump or whatever.

LOT of furry porn!

In your example, if bluesky goes you lose it all (until/if their form of federation actually exists and is usable). If the Mastodon server I’m on (toot.community, because I like the name) goes, you move to another or host your own and keep on trucking.

When reddit did their API shit i left and lost the account, subreddits, apps, everything. When Lemm.ee announced it’s shutdown i moved to lemmy.zip and picked up exactly where I left off.

Today

It’s on there too.

I’m guessing, but this anti-feature was added about a year ago, maybe you already had the app?

I think that was also a vote. Honestly organic maps is kinda stupid too.

If i thought enough people would buy my shit I’d be on there too (I’m a guy). You mean to tell me i could potentially become rich by taking naked pictures and videos? It’s pretty saturated now, but even then most of them are making good money, and they’re not even dealing with it, they’re paying other people to handle the page and messages and whatnot.

The other option? Going to school, learning a skill, applying for a job, and maybe making enough to get by.

Edit: wait a minute this is just a bot account spamming questions.

Mine ended on the 5th, i didn’t renew it. It’s the first time since i got it that I didn’t but everything’s chinese rebranded shit there now and the shows are better if i torrent them.

They all have 2 factor authentication too. Sometimes I just want to be in another room than my god damn phone.
