Here’s to that! Sorry you’re having a rough go of things too. I’m sure there is good out there for both of us in times ahead.

Thank you very much, I’m doing what I can! I’ve been feeling better this week now that I’ve taken some steps to actually be festive again.

Also, that’s really kind of you to say, thank you! :3

Gotta make the UI dad proof!

Should’ve quit while they were a-head…

Get absolutely loved and cherished, you wonderful critter!

“Oh doe-n’t get me started…”

I would consider a link redirect the same as linking, assuming its sole purpose is to send you to X/Twitter. That is identical behavior to an X/Twitter link. As mentioned, a username is sufficient if that is the only source available. You could also just continue to link to xcancel despite it not working now, because I wouldn’t be surprised if it eventually comes back up.

Yup, that absolutely works!

You only have to provide the name of the artist and/or source to find them, so you can simply say it’s by username if there genuinely is no other place they exist aside from X/Twitter. I find that pretty disappointing from the artist though, like, they don’t even have another account aside from the Nazi site?

If you don’t link there it’s fine, but I’d consider artists who can do the bare minimum in that regard. Doesn’t need to be a link to the exact image, could be a personal website, a caard, or some other account they post art on.

I really appreciate you reaching out about it!

There’s many ways to express yourself, so if writing doesn’t cut it for you, I’m sure there’s something out there that does!

Yeah, that’s very true. Writing should be structured, concise, and flow well, as opposed to being a disjointed mess of empty paragraphs. It’s not that more words is inherently better, but more of a reminder that writing can be a fun and creative activity, and you can impart that joy onto others too. I actually left a pretty big hole in my reply for the sake of humor, which is the overarching context of the meme being a school assignment. You addressed it thoughtfully, but I was waiting for a silly response along the lines of:

Sir, this is a 6th grade essay about George Washington.

Arbitrarily shoving words where they don’t belong, into a premise you aren’t interested in writing about, isn’t ever going to be a fun time. If anything, it might put folks off of writing in the same way that dry school book assignments can for reading. When you spend more time with writing though, something you’re generally interesting in talking about, more words tend to come out—and that’s usually a good thing! Concise is not inherently minimalist, nor is it required to be devoid of emotion. Find your voice, let the words flow, and you’ll likely end up painting a more complete picture of what you want to convey.

Ah, the beauty of verbosity lies in remembering to smell the roses along your travels. What good is it to forgo the meandering path, playing in the sun’s warmth with your prose along the road less traveled? Take the time to water your garden of verbiage, and revel in the beauty as it begins to bear fruit! Merely dipping your toes into the sea of writing may feel cold and fleeting, but you’ll be surprised how much that can change when you decide to take the leap—to swim heatedly amongst the current.

I could’ve also said “writing is fun when you spend more time with it,” but that doesn’t feel the same, does it? We don’t have to constrain ourselves to the gray doldrums of a grocery list when we use our voices in writing. We can choose to spread our wings; we can choose to have fun, to make art.

I was gonna reply with results from matrixrooms.info, but as it turns out, that gave nothing too. Either all the rooms are private, or it really is a desert out there for tf furs on Matrix lol.

It was actually my bra’s trap, the trap that turns you into a bra. Easy to make that mistake.

You’re welcome, but you still gotta edit the source link in your comment!

The solution is actually to become a bird, as their tongues do not perceive that sort of spice.

Pondering the orb…

I also expect exactly zero legal repercussions, but the relevant parties are aware, abuse reports have been filed, and apparently the site is down now? I don’t want to check for obvious reasons, but I think the bare minimum should be him being blacklisted from his hosting provider, and potentially having his info noted to other hosting services, so he’s unable to easily spin up another remote server to do more malicious, and illegal antics.

Guess what? The site had hidden js which attempts to effectively DDoS Db0 with its visitors. I edited the link above to be the Lemmy post about it instead, but what a disgrace. Apparently it doesn’t work too well (thankfully), but the malware dev making more malware seems pretty par for the course.
