[00:16:58] I would not assume poorly of imamy here. Imamy can be difficult to understand and come from different angles but I've never seen it be deliberately offensive, snide or things along those lines and I didn't read that from their comment, though I can see how it could be construed that way [00:18:14] I probably shouldve added "then" at the end of that; I was going off what yall described [00:18:23] Apologies for any misunderstandings [00:19:02] But I would've appreciated actual feedback tho like the original comment said [00:19:41] Rather than, how I first saw it as, laughing in my face with the audio [00:21:08] I did find it wasn't terribly helpful and tried to gather a more clear thought from them; what I got was not especially useful either tbh [00:26:01] The comments that the thing isn't better than the current one confuse me since I built it directly off the current's svg [00:27:00] Only difference was boldening the thing a bit and the colors which I thought yall would like [00:31:50] I think the main thing is that it's not a very large step forward, the coloring change is quite discretionary and it will hit with people or it won't (does not appear to have hit so far), and the rest is quite extra to that factor [00:33:10] not opposed to considering change but as one of those conservatives who was not really sold with wikitide brand development I personally take a bit of wooing to be sold on overhauls and I think that's a fairly big trend among meta regulars [00:36:35] I was worried that if I did too large of a step forward yall wouldve just on the spot opposed it, or even come back in the future with something like "oohh bring the old hexagon logo back" or something [00:37:39] well as you see, it is a tricky balance to establish in any case [00:38:17] the best way to figure that sort of thing beforehand is to work with people in the idea's development to get instant temperature on the direction you're going, if you're onto something warm or stone cold from the start etc [00:38:30] my 2c for the evening [00:39:14] I will remember that for the future [03:20:16] BlankEclair: looking at some css template sites for a personal landing page [03:20:32] Fuck it im going with late 2000s age [03:21:04] Really be vibing with me [04:06:27] crying so an acquaintance of mine got in2 an argument with that guy who’s really opposed 2 moving our community’s wiki from fandom 2 miraheze again and one of his reasons is deadass “miraheze users are hostile to the fandom platform and that makes me not want to support miraheze” LIKE???? [04:07:23] he’s like a MAAAAJOR mainstream bootlicker apparently he says that “people shaming the mainstream makes [him] want to throw them into a stream” i’m sobbing [04:14:01] yippee \o/ [04:14:18] i love them :3 [04:15:05] reminds me of that time where someone started a new rain wiki on fandom because they 'didn't like how the miraheze one looked' [04:16:51] i need 2 show you a screenshot of what this guy said hold on [04:17:49] [1/2] 😭😭😭 [04:17:49] [2/2] https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/615786602454581249/1353945945276153906/image.png?ex=67e37fec&is=67e22e6c&hm=31deeec55301b168aec989caa3af834c49019cae153bd9dbb7aa7c71a27ca6e0& [04:18:03] competitor my ass lol [04:18:13] tell him what fandom does w/ wiki.gg links [04:18:49] fandom is nearing monopoly w/ how it occupied google seo [04:18:59] i don’t believe i have heard of that yet - mind explaining [04:19:13] i know about a lot of shit but not that specifically [04:19:28] pizza tower wiki forked in 2023 and we got beaten hard after custom domain change [04:20:43] [1/2] they render links to wiki.gg and independent minecraft wiki non functional, saying they are spam [04:20:43] [2/2] either editor won't let to save the page or they appear as plain text, correct me if I'm wrong [04:21:04] alrite ty [04:21:28] https://discord.com/channels/407504499280707585/615786602454581249/1176228644801216592 [04:24:55] Gee, I wonder why people would hate a company that's for profit, anticompetitive, owned by a billion dollar holding company, killed off one of its major competitors and actively bogs down people's experience with ads. Guess we're just haters. [04:25:16] Hello guys. [04:25:21] I got a job interview today. [04:25:36] his top 2 reasons are that and the fact he got put on a reception wiki by a 10 year old like 5 years ago [04:25:46] nice!!! hope it goes well [04:25:58] Oh, and Fandom betrayed the open source and MediaWiki community. [04:27:47] one of the major reasons i’m really pushing for a move is because the wiki in question is based on a show with a young audience and i really Really don’t want them being pelted with advertising. like i tested it - even when you select the “i’m a kid” option on f*ndom while logged out you STILL get ads [04:27:55] it’s. Siigh [04:28:05] also just the moral dilemma of staying on fandom in general [04:28:32] Fandom is a cancer, kill it by curing the cells (editors) that support and feed it. [04:29:25] I actually already have a job. [04:29:40] I was forced to go to one. [04:29:43] Anyway, [04:29:53] They asked what my weaknesses is. [04:30:00] I told them I'm allergic to being underpaid. [04:30:01] oh yea btw he made a discussions announcement where he basically spread misinfo about the move before we were ready 2 begin announcing it [04:30:06] that's a very fair concern [04:30:08] 😏 [04:30:12] LMFAO [04:30:18] THAT’S AMAZING [04:30:33] "What's your goal with our firm." [04:30:46] "Depends. What the firm do to me. If you treat me well, pay me well. I do well." [04:30:55] "You fuck with me and I'm burning y'all to the ground." [04:33:00] Once during an interview they asked me what I would do if I was successful in being hired, and I said I wouldn't leak their sensitive documents. [04:33:03] I was being honest. [04:33:34] he also “boycotts” modifications of scratch because he believes that they are implying that “vanilla scratch is bad” which is. incredibly ill-informed [04:33:47] this guy’s like 16 i think???? i forget his exact age [04:33:51] Ia he a staff member? [04:34:08] just read through this convo [04:34:12] he’s a moderator on the fandom wiki for the community in question [04:34:15] this is amazing lmao [04:34:23] Just remove him then :shrug: [04:34:36] yeah Miraheze sucks because I Don't Like It™️ [04:34:48] i would but the owner of the wiki is hesitant on doing so and he’ll throw a Shitfit [04:35:12] he was already demoted from admin 2 mod and he genuinely claims that as a “trigger” so [04:35:16] you could do a poll [04:35:24] Miraheze is good because it attracted people who wanted to build a better wikifarm, akin to Gamepedia in some ways. [04:35:32] on discussions or whatever [04:35:49] when will fandom buy MH :trol: [04:35:52] I'm so happy that WikiTide took over Miraheze, I thought we were gonna lose another wikifarm host. [04:36:19] They couldn't afford it if they can't afford to keep their wiki representatives on board. [04:36:24] They fired practically all of them.. [04:36:37] oh yeah forgot about that lmao [04:36:46] Most profit is funeled straight to TPG Capital. [04:37:10] https://hard-drive.net/hd/video-games/fandom-ceo-frustrated-its-impossible-to-lay-off-unpaid-users-who-update-wikias-for-fun/ [04:37:39] It's funny, cause they denied that TPG Capital bought them for years until media sites picked up on it. [04:37:42] Kinda shady ngl. [04:37:53] Lmao, I saw that. [04:38:09] Lmao. [04:38:20] I know a lot of guys who get fed up when demoted. [04:38:25] Cause I demote people a lot. [04:38:31] "You can't demote me." [04:38:35] "News flash. I can." [04:38:59] yk what I like (and am all for TBH) [04:39:09] non-fandom/indie wikis and the fediverse [04:39:14] is this real? lmao [04:39:16] I hate Fandom. [04:39:21] me 2 [04:39:22] Miraheze is inherently superior. [04:39:23] Hard drive is satire. [04:39:24] it’s a satire website :P [04:39:30] It's like the onion. [04:39:35] like the onion [04:39:41] ah hard drive [04:39:41] wow okay [04:39:45] Anyway, [04:39:47] Miraheze hive mind real [04:39:47] Boys. [04:39:48] haven't noiced [04:39:54] I think I did well at my job interview. [04:40:03] 😎 [04:40:09] Fr [04:40:11] folks, even [04:40:23] like they seem to attract each other [04:40:24] Women are government agents. [04:40:25] Gentlemen perhaps. [04:40:30] And even Gentlewomen. [04:40:34] They aren't real. [04:40:35] Trust. [04:40:46] Damn, I've been lied to. [04:40:47] They're like birds, bro. [04:40:51] They're spy drones. [04:40:52] as a fedi user I am all for that [04:40:59] @blankeclair you're a bird now. [04:41:06] Exactly. [04:41:19] folks is the Hot New Non-Binary Pronoun [04:41:30] Birds are government drones and women are government operatives. [04:41:33] or like not pronoun but way to address a group of people [04:41:52] Source is trust me bro. [04:42:23] I just call people "Fuckers" but I figured if would be rude to call them that here. [04:42:37] I always refer to people as guys, I don't see it as a gendered word anymore. In Australia "mate" is the same thing. [04:43:00] being a tguy in communities like this is always so funny i feel like a shiny pokemon [04:43:10] A what?

[04:55:12] ah okay [04:56:41] You're a bird now, that means you must caw and eat seeds. [04:57:01] why did you say that while i'm in the middle of reading a post about seeds [04:57:14] Eat the seeeds!!!!
