[00:00:00] This isn't Fandom so we can't help [00:01:05] But I have to have my Fandom account back now! I've asked everyone I've encountered so far, and not one of them has helped get my account back. [00:02:43] maybe because they don't know how to either [00:04:48] It's easy. Just message the Fandom staff. I did that, and they won't cooperate. That's why I'm searching for other Discord servers to be my "enforcer", for lack of a better word. Believe me, I HAVE to have my Fandom account back now! [00:07:10] And one last thing: I will stop at nothing to make sure I get my account back. [00:17:42] WTH was that? xD [00:25:15] https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/kids-online-safety-act-still-huge-danger-our-rights-online [00:26:09] Also this: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/04/your-messaging-service-should-not-be-dea-informant [02:11:27] the dea is an oddly specific snoop to mandate [04:14:15] @raidarr#6550 I think someone died from drugs that they were given on social media, now the solution to the problem is mass-surveillance. [04:25:22] classics [04:26:47] The law did not mention encryption, which is new. [04:26:56] I am still more concerned about https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/kids-online-safety-act-still-huge-danger-our-rights-online [05:26:13] [1/2] just noticed someone reposts text of my wiki (I'm still the only editor) to fan group I used to admin (before deleting my account on that platform) [05:26:13] [2/2] not only it's w/o attribution, it's also horribly translated lol [05:28:24] You could file a DMCA takedown. [05:28:42] I might think out text on my language, then I'm trying to translate it properly to English, but now that English text gets horrible Google Translate treatment lmao [05:28:53] nah lol [05:30:48] I'm not that displeased, it's just hilarious [05:31:46] might ask someone to comment about sourcing tho [05:44:12] Alr I see lmao [10:11:42] That's very common. I write about original fiction and several people tried to pass my fictional creatures as ancient myth creatures instead of new inventions [10:12:10] lmao [10:13:42] In one hand i'm proud people believe the creatures are real. On the other hand is odd. That's why on my wiki have notices when something is not Official [14:14:34] such is the nature of how myths form I suppose [14:15:05] imagine how many myths exist because someone made it up and other people went 'ooooo' [15:04:17] sometimes I get the urge to put a "paper town" entry on my wiki—just to see where that information spreads. but there's a lot of misinformation in this field and I want to at least pretend to have a sense of credibility 😅 [15:38:22] What field are you talking about [15:41:00] autistic characters (maybe "field" is a bit too serious of a term for the topic lmao) [19:07:29] [1/2] Discord is planning what is probably the dumbest change they ever made (and that should say something https://discord.com/blog/usernames [19:07:29] [2/2] tl;dr the want to make it "easier to remember and share your username", so instead of practically unlimited usernames thanks to the #XXXX number at the end, there will be a much more limited amount of usernames, but also a non-unique Displayname [19:15:28] like on insta and twi? damn [19:17:28] Never really used instagram, so can't speak for that, but yeah kinda like twitter I geuss, and youtube as well I geuss, since they made their username change a while back too. Which are far inferior ways to handle usernames [19:26:15] if I don't get @raidarr I'mma riot [19:29:24] Also did they really use a reddit thread of all things to conclude that "More than 40% of you either don’t remember your discriminator or don’t even know what a discriminator is"... [20:21:00] Don't really get the "people don't know it off the top of their heads so therefore it is bad" logic. [20:22:55] Lots of platforms/games use entirely numeric IDs as friend codes and it doesn't really matter because the overwhelming of the time you'll be adding people you will either be tapping some UI element that bypasses it altogether or copy-pasting their code off another platform. [20:23:10] overwhelming majority* [20:28:51] Trying to "get" discords conclusions is indeed a futile endeavour [20:47:29] I guess even if I could explain why that's just not good reasoning in a way they'd see it, they'd have little reason to change it now [20:47:37] we can only hope things don't crash and burn too badly
