Hey all, I'm moving instances again. My time on the <big instance> was long in the tooth, and I think the spirit of this place is better on smaller instances.
You can find me shortly on https://xn--xxa.computer/
I truly hope this doesn't generate spam (maybe additional follow requests? Sorry!)
#dwarffortress Great, now a small army of Agitated Giant Capybaras aggroed my militia and baited them into combat in a river too deep to swim in.
Maybe they were all cocky from years of successfully battling off angry birds?
It triggered an unfortunate chain of militia members drowning in the river, and then hapless peasants ignoring my request to stay inside and drowning as they attempt to retrieve the bodies.
This save is cursed.
#dwarffortress year 3: The attacks from agitated birds have continued non-stop. 4 dwarven children are likely scarred for life by the constant death, and refuse to feel happy despite all of the golden toys I throw at them.
The ghost of a woodcutter that was swept away by one of the birds has come back to haunt the fortress. Masons have been quickly dispatched to create a makeshift memorial. Plans are being made to bring everything inside
@mattblaze The other piece of this that's unique to Mastodon is that an instance admin is also responsible for moderation, both internal AND external to the instance: both kicking bad actors out, AND choosing which instances to defederate (block).
So there's an additional, human cost that often goes unconsidered.
I guess this weekend has become a "Catch up on Advent of Code" weekend...
That day 11 really stalled me out
