imo i'd recommend making maybe a dropdown menu next to where u have ur fonts? or gather all of those options in a general "website settings" dropdown menu so it's less cluttered?"

falsedawn 1 week ago

i agree with @maggyoutthere!

zhongvie 1 week ago

ooh general website dropdown might work, i'd have to see how to get it to work with my font swapper so it can work together...

theres some temptation to move my blog over to be on my site but i also like bearblog since its so quick and simple to just use…

falsedawn 1 week ago

having the blog hosted on the site definitely has its caveats imo... i think the best perk is just having it be local and also being able to customize the layout to whatever you want

zhongvie 1 week ago

yea...... it's the local and not requiring another site that's appealing, but i also already have copies of all my blog posts in my obsidian since i write them there initially for lazy copy and pasting, and bearblog is already pretty flexible with its CSS decorating.....

definitely a massive shitshow near the end though, i honestly only knew of goatlings-vent as the site shutdown was nearing, but damn it really brought out the worst in people. i’m still glad to find peeps from there i do recognize from perusing the threads and forums across the years

apparently per goatlings-vent in 2023, i'm the worst fucking person in the world for naming goats after my special interest and comparing fictional lore about two musicians who hate each other to a real occurrence of said (but asking DG what fucking homestuck sign he would be is totally fine). everybody gangsta bout special interests till yours isn't an anime, animal, or video game

then i stopped talking about ronnie onsite / in live chat and just tended to my collection of goats named after the thing i'm autistic about (LIKE EVERY OTHER GODDAMNED USER ON THE SITE), and took down my loosely FIR-inspired designs... and still got everything i did interpreted in bad faith! then the same goddamned people decided to start complaining about literally everything onsite and became the dominant party

oh, also, liking a band makes my trans pride AD in bad faith which i can only read as "you are not validly trans". tbh, if i could swear on goatlings, I'd have renamed my design thread "shitty designs by a disgusting person" (how one venter described transcendent. unsure how a special interest in a band that i don't support makes me a disgusting person but w/e)

it's easier to put the burden onto the user rather than attempt to hold giant multinational social media companies accountable for anything, for which a $15 million fine for exposing children to whatever type of objectionable content is just the cost of doing business.

I feel much the same way. It's disheartening to see how young people are being shut out from spaces. It's bad enough that teens can't hardly exist in public without grouchy adults trying to run them off, but governments and corpos are doing the same thing online too!

We need third spaces! We need people to connect with! Not just under-16s but all of us! and this legislative push will make that harder for everyone. Also interesting how abusers usually focus on isolating their targets. almost like a lot of the people spearheading this stuff *are* dangerous abusive people

fr though!!! in terms of third spaces anyway. it’s why i’m saying it feels like at this rate we might return back to forums/more niche site days being the norm vs being huddled into a few social medias (but the issue is being so fractured and finding those places)
