It’s so funny seeing tourists complain about it being woke. 9/10 times these guys have never used the engine before
The software and programming world desparately needs to go more woke, so does gaming culture in general, it is the only way to get the toxic assholes to shut up and sit down… and create the oxygen needed for communities that arent embarassing sess pools of tiny pathetic men who exclude everyone else.
I love that one fork that was made. So cute that they think people will use it when it’s basically just a mirror.
@gamerbro83 @toAIC pretty sure someone just saw the opportunity to run a donations scam (mirror for a few months, maybe change the default theme while taking donations). Seems to be the thing to do for that crowd (cause drama, scam others based off the drama)
Fuck twitter.
Godot is amazing! Adding my contribution to the fund. The future is open source.
I was on Xitter to read an update about LGRs situation, when I got one of those “suggested tweets” about Godot from some random account. I clicked on it because I thought it was a totally different situation like Godot going closed source or something.
Nope. It was an entire thread on a bunch of racist transphobes being pissy about an LGBTQ post and how Godot was “Woke” now and “Why are they being political now”. “Go woke, go broke” was also mentioned unironically quite a bit and how people were going to leave in droves for Unity. Nice to see the chant was (once again) proven wrong.
It was a disgusting echo chamber, I had to wash my hands after that.
how people were going to leave in droves
These idiots seriously think they’re in the majority viewpoint. No exposure to reality will dissuade them of this belief.
That is exactly the issue with algorithm-driven social media : they are the majority in their reality. It is distorted because of the algorithm, but nevertheless it is the world they are living in.
I think it is worse that, if you want to make serious money off of running a social network, and dont want to actually have real moderation (which paying for essentially erases any serious profit margin) instead of ai crap, this is always how it is going to turn out. Bluesky might claim to be different but is just a slight reframing of the “problem” that leverages the high cost of moderation to set the stage for rationalizing centralization down the road.
I mean yeah elon musk is a shithead toxic jerk, but it isnt like any other corporate social networks actually do any genuine moderation at scale that is legitimately effective at protecting people who are considered a target by rightwing trolls.
You can either create profit for shareholders off of running a social network or have it be a healthy place for people, pick one.
Wait, what’s going on with LGR?
I don’t have xitter account so I can’t see what’s going on
He lives in Asheville, NC one of the places wrecked by flooding from Helene. Last update was his house has been significantly damaged to the point where it’s basically unhabitable, but he is safe with family.
