RULES (updated 01/22/25)
- Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
- Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
- Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
- Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
- No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
- Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Hiding in the back office at my job, trying to remind myself that I am, in fact, a human being and not a machine.
Waiting for my succulent Chinese meal ❤️
How was it?
Cooking while listening Youtube from tv
Developing my next TTRPG campaign on company time
Taking a shit at a friends apartment.
Waiting for my daughter to fall asleep. It’s a long drawn out process following the daily ritual where she gets out of bed within 2 minutes saying “I can’t sleep!”
Then I have to bring her back to bed, sing another lullaby, and pray to whatever sleep deity that will listen that she will stay put this time.
Today appears to be a good day, I can hear her slurping from her water bottle but she’s staying put. Hopefully she’ll be out in another 5 minutes. I wonder who I have to thank this time, Hypnos?
"Parenting is mostly convincing a tired person to go to sleep."
Waiting for my wife and child to come downstairs so we can visit a friend.
Replying to this thread.
Sitting on my butt dealing with nicotine withdrawals. Haven't gotten much sleep all week.
Where.. Are you?
The pink room.
Would you look at that.
?
The background, I have no idea what I'm seeing.
Taking a nap while on the clock
Waiting for my work day to be over so I can go take a nap.
High, watching a Mr. Plinkett review of the Titanic, and scrolling through here.
Enjoy FFX again! Love it a lot. :)
Right now I can't enjoy it if dark yojimbo keeps killing me despite having max Defs plus auto protect 🙁
Oof! Dark Yojimbo... Yeah. :O I remember him being a beast. I think I remember using Anima or the three Sisters to help.
Good luck!
At the laundry. Clothes were supposed to have been dry, dryer failed to work for the first hour. So now I sit here scrolling and hoping for the best.
Playing Ape Escape on a PS1 emulator! Honestly PS1 games just have this charm that's still unmatched
Watching the women's 10.000 meters final. Kenya vs Ethiopia apparently!
Gold for Kenya!
I'm a little drunk scrolling on fedia.io after a bbq with family to celibrate the holidays. I should probably go to sleep.
Looking for a community to post a funny video to.
Watching a cicd pipeline I just (hopefully) just finished debugging.
- Finishing reading 'Paradigm Shifts, Typewritten Tales of Digital Collapse', a short stories collection focusing on the use of... typewriters, and written on typewriters by their respective authors.
- Taking some notes, while reading that book.
- Replying to your question, while I'm...
- ...sipping a cup of coffee ;)
Trying to muster up the energy to get out of bed and do the fun things I've planned for today.
waiting for my dad to finish driving in circles and take me home after a workout (he plays pikman bloom)
Spending some time on my ~~pahoney~~ I mean phone after getting out of the shower.
I'm also on holiday in Taghazout because why not.
At this very moment? Working for another 6 minutes before the end of my shift.
After that? Eh, probably sleep, if my stomach will actually let me that is.
Every time I've scrolled past this post today, I've been slacking off in some way.
Awfully rude of you to bring this to my attention.
