@kjdavies if I was running a corporation with the express purpose of making as many people hate me as possible, I don’t think I could do as good a job of it as wotc is doing

Wizards of the Coast is hiring a 'Director of Strategic Response Communications.

"Hi, we need someone to explain to our customers why it's a good thing we're sending the Pinkertons to come visit."

Because the OGL debacle what, 3-4 months ago wasn't enough.

Apparently it pays well, starts $150k-$250k... probably to fill that gaping wound in the soul of the person who does this job.

Content warnings are great. They help certain people avoid content that may be disturbing.

But it’s not so great when it’s being used to harass someone who is marginalized for speaking their voice.

@Rachel_Thorn true, my comment was more about the article in general rather than your statement about it. It felt like some of what was written there was very alarmist about mastodon being overrun by nazis or whatever, which doesn’t really seem likely to me as long as fediblocking is a thing.
@Rachel_Thorn maybe this is just me, but this really doesn’t seem like as terrifying as it looks on the surface? I haven’t been super active on mastodon but I get the impression that if a majority of instances fediblock gab, there isn’t really much damage they can do beyond what they already were doing. The concern about mobile apps is definitely very legitimate, but even so Gab’s reach is still not much bigger than it was before, it seems. Please correct me if I’m missing something.
@atomicpoet @kainoa I was just today talking about having like an "admin onboarding" and like "instance health" check, which would give insights into stuff like how quickly you're growing vs moderation reports, and avg/stddev time to resolve moderation reports, and like setting user number thresholds to suggest actions that might be wise, based on experiences of other admins.

If you wonder why a lot of #TTRPG players use our games as #escapism...

... I mean, just look the fuck around.

If you wonder why a lot of trans and queer people use #TTRPGs to have a place to safely be who they want to be...

... no, really, just look the fuck around.

If you wonder why anyone -- ANYONE -- would rather be in a space that brings them joy, comfort and safety, instead of interacting with the "real world..."

... well, y'know.

Important: You know who wants #trans kids to be left alone? AMERICA. Even #FoxNews viewers!

#GOP is ramming its creepy, vicious anti-trans policies down our throats because they GOT NUTHIN' and are trying to distract from the endless child-sex scandals in their party. #LGBTQ+ #politics
