So I finished this model a few weeks ago. Struggled with the airbrushing and wasn’t fond of the result. After a while I came around on it. Still idk why my black gloss coat got so bumpy but meh, gotta go practice some more on spoons.

Recently I posted this on r/Gunpla over on reddit only for the post to get removed by the mods. They always let mech plamo in before. I asked for clarification and the mod swears the this isn’t a mech. Anyone have any thoughts on that. I’m pretty sure it meets the def of mech. Noun; Large piloted combat robot.

Forget Reddit. I think it’s cool!

By the way I LOVE your unicorn display you posted! I see the details on those mini figs

Thanks! I thought I was tripping but then I remember how much Reddit mods power trip. I’ve been on there less and less. I appreciate the affirmation!

I left Reddit during the Great Migration 2 years ago. Lemmy reminds me of the way Reddit used to be

I can't believe it's been 2 years since the great Reddit migration. I came to Lemmy (actually started with kbin, but same difference) during that same event. I still keep up with a few niche communities on Reddit, but mostly because that stuff has little to no presence over here.

I was sooooo on the fence when Apollo was nuked. The adds get worse and worse, the mods trip, can’t hide read posts, and now I keep seeing more and more people using reddit like a ChatGPT. Don’t get me wrong I’ve asked some stupid questions over the years but I try to be pleasant, grateful, and will always do a basic google search before posting. Idk maybe I’m just an old man yelling at kids on my virtual lawn lol

Lemmy feels better. Only thing is it’s still small so engagement is less. Who knows maybe that’s a blessing
