#url problems

[gunitnekoh]

This is that domain problem they @elfgrove were taking about weeks ago isn’t it?

Looks like fanfiction.net is gone. Probably should have backed up the fic I had there. Woops. Too late now.

Need people to stop saying "that graph is misleading" when the y axis doesn't start at 0.

Yes sometimes graphs are indeed intentionally misleading you with a weird y axis. But I have seen on this website, three times in as many days, and referencing different graphics, people say "that graph is misleading" when the y axis not starting at 0 is for real simply the best way to convey that particular data.

"I initially misinterpreted this graph despite the perfectly reasonably and very well labeled y axis" ≠ "this graph is misleading." Your data comprehension skills just need work. That's a you problem.

nah man that’s not me sympathizing with the uhc ceo that’s simply being sexy as always and correct. everything reverts to the mean unless you boil the frog, and you’re proud of the fact that you don’t even know how to use the stove.

I really appreciate how level headed you are about the reputation TMA fandom has. Something I realized reading through your analysis is I think part of the problem was the TMA fandom was a uniquely awkward size during/after the blow up in that it was big enough to have a medium sized 1% of people who were being a problem but it wasn't big enough that you could avoid them without putting a lot of effort into it. (probably this isn't how math/percentages work but it is something i think about because, personally i've been in a massive fandom with a notoriously problematic 1% and. they sure did cause big loud problems very publicly. But it wasn't actually that hard to avoid them in day to day fandom activities. Whereas with TMA yeah there just really was a feeling of not being able to get away from each other)

ooh I think you are bang on the money with that one. it felt like I was always two degrees of separation away from someone who wanted to have me hanged drawn and quartered, even if my personal circle was quite well curated.

looking for a new read in a fic rec post or the searches and spotting your own fic

i do get that my blog is not everyone's cup of tea, however. i would appreciate if we could be mature about it & simply block + move on. rather than make vague posts that instigate shit - talking about me. it's just really immature to see these things in the roleplay community.

reposting content (especially art/creations) that isn't yours is theft. reposting content saying "not mine" without credit is still theft. saving content that isn't yours to your phone or computer or copy/pasting and making a post without credit is fucking theft. it isn't accidental. there were intentional steps involved. why is this difficult to comprehend. imagine how it would feel to have something you made (especially for free, often in the case of fandom) stolen and someone else taking credit for it or at the very least not giving you the credit you deserve for having made it in the first place

i love when we get new content to inspire urls/icons and i suddenly don't know who anybody is anymore 🥰

[fatedvoyage]

i love the way my blogs are now, because it feels like a clean divide. people get to follow the blogs/muses they're interested in, and i just have one dash. but there's a large part of me that wants one blog with all my muses on it so i know who for a fact is a mutual, for the ease of sending asks... but then... moving all my headcanons...

I don't like the way you guys talk about Palestinians asking for donations. I don't like it.

I had to see someone make MULTIPLE posts bitching and moaning about how people need to stop sending them asks asking for them to reblog their donation posts, that they'd just be blocking them from now on, and that they didn't care if they were vetted because they still found the act of sending asks to get reblogs on their donation links suspicious, even if they were in a dire situation. They even went as far as to say that they got an ask, deleted it, and then they got another ask from the same person, and accused the person of sending another ask to purposefully "get under their skin"

I don't know man, have you considered that being a victim of ongoing genocide will make you ask for help in whatever way you can? And sometimes that involves sending random blogs asks to see if they can donate or at the very least share your donation links? A Palestinian reaches out to you multiple times because they need help and your response is to whine about getting donation links in your inbox? I wish I had your problems

Also the thing about "getting the exact same ask from the exact same blog multiple times"... uh, duh? First of all, they're probably reaching out to dozens of blogs daily, do you think they're gonna type up a new paragraph for each blog they reach out to? Second of all, maybe they reached out to you multiple times because a. They really really really need the help and b. What, do you think they're gonna see your URL/blog and be like "oh! I already reached out to this blog, I'm not gonna send them another ask"? Or do you think they'll be like "this person has been reblogging other people's donation posts, maybe they'll reblog mine too"?

Like I understand being suspicious about getting sent donation links to your inbox, but literally all you have to do is check if the blog's been vetted by other bloggers? It's as easy as searching for their URL on tumblr sometimes, it literally takes less than a minute or two. And that's what bothers you? That's what you're complaining about? Find a real problem!!!

ohhhhh i just snagged the best canon url ever inthe world. i'm better than all of you

[ultfashionista]

im going to start throwing things like genuinely bc this site’s rules r so stupid. i think if a url is taken but isn’t being used and hasn’t been personalised in any way then after like 6 months it shld be auctioned off to any autistic freaks in the vicinity. bc wdym there’s a url i want more than anything ever and it’s taken but not in use and there’s no way for me to get it. wdym by that. i’m going to drive this car into a ravine
