Wait, this community is for tabletop RPGs as well? Interesting. Was considering writing up a Shadowrun AAR post on [email protected] (did I do that link right?), might post it here too if people are interested.

Having understood the fediverse on a theoretical level but not ever actually stepping into it, it's really amazing to see the interconnectedness of it in real time :)

I regularly plan to learn DF, then just play RimWorld instead. It really is DF for normies.

As a shadowrun GM, I really like those games. Rules-wise, they have very little in common with the tabletop RPG apart from using a few of the same words, but they capture the lore and the feel of the world really well.

Such a bizarre linguistic thing that's happened with woke. It's now essentially meaningless. What was once a legitimate term meaning "alert to racial prejudice", now just means "thing I don't like".

Hey! Glad to be part of the fediverse. Bit of a learning curve, but it's exciting and interesting!

For me, the big difference maker is that I no longer feel like I'm shouting into the void. Quite often, I'd see a post, I'd have an opinion/comment/thought about it, start writing a comment, and then think "Why bother? This post already has 5000 comments, and default sort is hot. Nobody will read the 5001st comment".

Maybe it's just my monkey brain, but after a day of adjusting, it definitely feels better to have 2+ upvotes and/or 1 comment so I know somebody at least considered what I said rather than a buried comment that nobody will ever see.

Yeah, the admin post at the start of the spike was talking about needing to stagger new registrants, presumably to avoid an eternal September like scenario where the community permanently changes character.

If this is the case, makes perfect sense. I may be a newbie to Lemmy, but looking around the best case scenario is a whole bunch of instances, both existing and new, take the load. That way each instance gets to decide what they want their own communities to look like.

I'm a Linux vet who's been around the block. I've tried all the major distros, used Gentoo for a few years, Arch the same, and a bunch of smaller distros.

Nowadays, I just want my computer to start up and run my programs with as little fuss as humanly possible. I'm far too lazy to rice or optimize anything, and I have little patience to troubleshoot the next big awesome thing.

Consequently, I use Kubuntu with Wayland. It chugs along and does everything I need it to.

I am definitely a hard-liner when it comes to meat. I do find it harder to be such a hard-liner with other animal products, even though I'm aware of the conditions in dairy factory farms. I do agree with you, I'm just saying it's difficult.

I guess by that definition I'd be an aspiring vegan :))

The issue isn't access to raw ingredients, when we have the time my gf and I do cook vegan food (we made a vegan butter "chicken" just a few days ago). The issue is when we go to a restaurant or order takeaway due to work obligations and being super busy, there are no vegan options and normally 1 vegetarian option laden with cheese.

I tried being vegan, but it's basically impossible in Eastern Europe. I settled for just being a vegetarian trying to reduce my cheese & milk consumption and made my peace with that.
