  • They're already acting. The guillotine is now erased.

    They're not touching the "fuck spez" signs, true. Still, remember that in the last edition there was a massive amogus cock extending across half the canvas throughout most of the event and it was eradicated by the end as well. So based on that I wouldn't bet the "fuck spez"-s will survive either. (Not that their survival would mean anything...)

  • Ruining this year’s /r/place

    Easy there, Robespierre. You won't "ruin" r/place by creating some tiny logo that will be scrubbed away by the moderators in five minutes.

  • Ehh, flags dominated since the very first r/place.

    But yes it's pretty obvious each new edition is ever more astroturfed. The second one had lots of obvious organised bots designing perfect shapes and logos, and moderators' meddling was noticed as well.

  • Until moderators just cover it all with random pixels, as they did for similar controversial/NSFW stuff in '22.

  • Oh damn, I did realise it's working again a few days ago, so I just assumed Twitter is open too.

  • This will just turn the site into a massive shill fest full of people pandering

    Ummm...

    I doubt that Instagram users who willingly install an another app made by Facebook care about that lol

  • disappointing those who desire interaction with Threads

    Maybe those rare few (deranged) people should just go create a Threads account? This is a very unconvincing attempt at appearing "objective".

    • Has anyone here tried Bookwyrm? If not, what's your favorite GR alternative?

    Jump

  • I empathise with your search for a better Goodreads. I used to be a "librarian" there, and the thought that I wasted my time on improving an Amazon service by adding books to their database makes me feel embarrassed. Worst of all, they actively harmed the database by using retarded bots to import garbage data (including DVDs and similar nonsense). When they realised they had imported too much garbage, they made a bot to delete some of it - but it deleted several books that I had added as well, perfectly fine data gone without any notification. Along with the shoddy redesign and long-time neglect and removal of some secondary functions, I got utterly sick of the site.

    Everyone on Lemmy should give a chance to Bookwyrm. It's based on similar principles as Lemmy, decentralised and open source, a part of the Fediverse. The database is taken from the Open Library (a part of the Archive.org project). I tried it out one or two years ago, so it was my first interaction with the Fediverse in general. Sadly the database does not meet my needs, since I read a lot of obscure stuff in a few different languages. I'd have to go correct or add the data on Open Library for like every other book I've read. Way too much work, though it would be beneficial for other people too...

    There are also Storygraph and LibraryThing. The latter seems closer to my tastes and needs, very old-school. But I never signed up, because I thought it's a paid service - indeed it used to be up until a few years ago, and now it's free.

    So anyway I just switched to entering all the data in a LibreOffice spreadsheet (equivalent to MS Excel). One column for the title, one for the author name, etc. I'm apparently a picky reader/user, so it's probably the best solution.

  • context: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonnacon

    The first known description of the bonnacon comes from Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia:

    There are reports of a wild animal in Paeonia called the bonasus, which has the mane of a horse, but in all other respects resembles a bull; its horns are curved back in such a manner as to be of no use for fighting, and it is said that because of this it saves itself by running away, meanwhile emitting a trail of dung that sometimes covers a distance of as much as three furlongs (604 meters or 1,980 feet), contact with which scorches pursuers like a sort of fire."
