STOP KOSA CALL IN DAY THE 16TH APRIL 2024

• There will be a hearing on Wednesday (17th April) where KOSA, along with some other bad internet bills, like the Protecting Kids on Social Media Act could be pushed.

• We will be having a calling day on TUESDAY (16 th April) to make clear to Congress that there is still a ton of opposition to these bills. https://energycommerce.house.gov/posts/chair-rodgers-and-ranking-member-pallone-announce-legislative-hearing-on-data-privacy-proposals-1 •We need to contact Congress and urge people to use this site for this https://www.stopkosa.com/

• House Energy and Commerce is holding the hearing so they are the best offices to call this week !! https://energycommerce.house.gov/representatives (the link doesnt work properly so you'll need to head to the site and select "Members" to find them)

• You can use http://badinternetbills.com/ to contact your congresspeople !

• And https://www.house.gov/representatives/find-your-representative to find all of the phone numbers of your House Representative ! •Don't forget to use faxzero.com to send up to 5 free faxes a day ! If you get a response talking about the changes made to the bills, please dont forget to point out it still makes it dangerous as explained here https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2024/02/dont-fall-latest-changes-dangerous-kids-online-safety-act Here are scripts you can use when contacting reps !

Please make sure to not mention how LGBT people will be affected by KOSA if your rep is republican, they don't care. Use freedom of speech instead like shown above !!! ^^^

JOEL GOT A WITHER ROSE!!! THE FLORIST HAS A WITHER ROSE!!!

I can’t type any cohesive thoughts sowwy

But can we talk about how obvious it is when something is on Joel’s mind, first it was rapunzel/tangled and now in ep6 of secret life his answer for the bonding question was gardening and his idea for a Cool Name was the florist. Like okay I wonder what you’re thinking about today.

Discord Discordantly (the pun aside, this is IMPORTANT)

A friend of mine said it best, so I'm going to just endorse their words:

I want to give everyone a really shitty heads up that Discord enabled "forwarding" of messages from server to server, including from private servers, and including from DMs

it's a giant crispy Kentucky fried clusterfuck implemented by people who apparently have no idea how the internet actually works.

But for right now if you manage a discord server - please be aware that this is a huge security/harassment/spam/doxxing risk.

If you're in a discord and have shared anything only because it was for that discord specifically, please be sure to delete the message(s) associated with the topic/image. Currently Age-Restricted channels are exempt from this dumbfuckery, but there's currently NO OPT OUT.

Keep yourselves safe out there.

Note: I'm not sure how Patreon-connected servers are being treated for this, more information may be available in the linked update.

i cant find the post now but a while back i made a post about how the hc recap crew are watchers that technically do their jobs by reporting back to the main watchers or whatever whats going on on hermitcraft, but they exclusively do it through recap episodes. which the watchers deem immature and never actually. you know. watch.

so anyways i just want to say that this is canon to my mcyteu, and also that they also post this to youtube (an in-universe youtube equivalent?) where the general public regardless of world/server can see it, which is the main reason the general public even knows about hermitcraft, because the recap got just so massively popular. i reckon a few hermits also post or stream? but i dont have that super figured out yet i just know that its not many. maybe its content more geared towards building or redstone tutorials rather than smp content? idk

Malevolent Mischief is open for invites!

Finally able to announce the server called Malevolent Mischief! It's a creative based server that is centered around discussing anything from the show in detail to writing and art works with other creatives interested in the series, branching from the Malevolent Big Bang! We also provide image IDs to be accessible to the best of our abilities to the visually impaired. There's sprint channels for writers, spaces to discuss WIPs for art and writing, as well as NSFW/Dead Dove sections for those who enjoy the darker side of Malevolent (they are also easily ignored)!

That said, due to the nature of the show, the server is 18+ only! Before being invited to the server, please let us know that you are at least 18 to receive an invite.

Below are the rules that the server runs by. If you agree with the rules, please feel free to DM @shadow0haven (myself) or @bluejayblueskies for an invite!

Here are the general rules for the Malevolent Mischief server!

1. ***No bigotry.*** Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, aphobia, antisemitism, identity policing, and so on will not be tolerated.

2. ***Respect your peers.*** Be kind and courteous! Respect others' boundaries, interpretations, ideas, and preferences. This server is 18+ and all members are expected to interact and respect each other on an adult level and take responsibility for their actions and behavior.

3. ***Keep conversations in appropriate channels.*** Certain channels are used for certain things: beta search should be used for beta search purposes, off-topic-media for other shows/fandoms etc, and so on. NSFW and Dead Dove content needs to stay in channels labeled NSFW and Dead Dove to respect boundaries. Please check channel descriptions for help on what's appropriate and where!

4. ***Outside drama is not welcome.*** This includes drama from other fandoms/discords, chatting about fans outside this server, etc. Discourse topics should be left out of this server and kept to personal DMs.

5. ***No parasocial nonsense.*** Talking about the creator in the context of the show and its creation is welcome, but please avoid personal discussion revolving around the creator (example: sexuality, morality, personal relationships, etc).

6. ***Use image descriptions.*** To help make the server accessible to all *Malevolent* creatives, we ask that you use Image Identification when posting or linking images (unless the link contains an ID.) This does not have to be elaborate! We also have volunteers who like to help create IDs if asked!

7. ***Spoilers.*** For the first 48 hours after an episode's public release, we ask people to use spoiler bars. We also ask people to keep patreon content within the patreon channels to be respectful.

8. ***Content warnings.*** Please use spoiler bars and a content warning when discussing topics commonly found triggering (including but not limited to self-harm, suicide, rape, and real-world discrimination.) If you're unsure, err on the side of caution. Please also provide relevant content warnings when sharing fics or art.

9. ***Comments, concerns, suggestions.*** We have a channel for any questions or suggestions for the server - please don't hesitate to use it if you need it!

10. ***This server is 18+.*** Due to the nature of the show, as well as the content of the server, this server is 18+ only for the comfort and well being of members. Server invites will not be given to those found under 18.

(Malevolent Mischief is only associated with Malevolent Big Bang in regards to related servers!)

Imagine being named QR bro...

imagine being named QR and being the owner of a server called plural nest...

imagine being named QR and being the owner of a server called plural nest and promoting the body keeps the score by bessel van der kolk- a poorly written, deeply triggering excuse of a book that supports harmful scientifically discredited, pseudoscientific forms of psychotherapy (RMT), and is riddled with war criminal and rapist apologia to your server full of minors and abuse survivors.

What if the life series exists because Grian made a deal with the Watchers to keep them away from the other SMPs people are a part of?

Your discord link for the sydcarmy server expired, can we have another? 🥺👉👈

Hi chef! I left it expire because I don't want trolls to join the server when the season drops and spam spoilers or whatever. We're still open for members though so just DM me and I'll send you an invite 😉🩷

[cloverthemonke]

these are some really old screenshots that I thankfully have saved. The server is still like this, even after all of this bullshit.

(The person named Duke has changed, and he is much nicer now. We are currently friends and he has made up for it.)

⚠️ Warning: Do not join this Discord server due to the following reasons:

Homophobic and transphobic,and all out anti-lgbtq behavior: The server fosters an environment where all LGBTQ individuals may face discrimination and hostility towards them.

Poor management: The staff exhibit unprofessional conduct, leading to a lack of support and resolution for issues within the server.

Unkind owner: The owner's behavior contributes to a negative culture, making the server unpleasant for its members.

Frequent arguments: Constant conflicts and disagreements among members detract from the overall experience and create a tense environment, and with the horrible staff, the arguments are not taken to dms and progressively get more violent.

Harassment: Instances of bullying and harassment are common, resulting in a hostile and unsafe space for participants.

For your well-being and safety, it's advised to avoid joining this Discord server, and please. For the love of god,Don't ask me about it, they tried to steal my whole irl identity by stealing photos of me that I posted, mocking me for talking abt possibly wanting to be trans in which which resulted in I getting kicked,and possibly banned I'm not sure.

Edit: I forgot abt the time when 3 server members told the staff that I was underage, and the staff believed it so I HAD TO SEND AGE VERIFICATION PHOTOS, and those 3 members stole those photos, and pretended to be me, which ended up in me getting timed out for "bullying a person for their looks and claiming they are not themselves". Fuck that shitty ass server dude.

Thank you.

I recently left this boyfriend to death server yet this should seriously be brought up.

Being a minor is one thing but having members who are minors and post about adult topics is weird.

Minors posting nsfw, posting about them obtaining w33d and doing these stuff on call + death threats that are claimed as “jokes” is concerning.

please report this server: https://discord.gg/6nqsPa4c

it is also up on disboard: https://disboard.org/server/1234324479220650105

my power just cut out for a second while red carnival was in the middle of screaming

[disneyprincessdxminatrix]

yes don’t put every single one of your triggers, traumas, and your full mental health history in your bio or carrd but also don’t put it in vent or rant channels on discord servers when you don’t really know the people there. that is not a safe thing to do.

[spongyspingy-rising]

do people actually make anon sideblogs to browse fr saltmine posts??? how much free time do you have that you need an entire blog dedicated to salt...

we all love to bitch but it doesn't have to be all you do. bring a little joy. bring a little whimsy.
