Did anyone handle that or shall I
Taylor Swift 04-Apr-18 10:33 PM
Do what
Edd 04-Apr-18 10:40 PM
Casual racism seems fun
We have the lepers colonoy now at least
Taylor Swift 04-Apr-18 10:41 PM
Yeah and if were going to ban people for saying the N word then weve got a lot of punishment to dole out
tbqh
Lets not cross that bridge just yet
Edd 04-Apr-18 10:41 PM
I mean, being racist is dumb and stupid but you guys make the rules
And hey, we don't have to ban people
They can just enjoy the shit channel :P
Taylor Swift 04-Apr-18 10:47 PM
Yeah I know but ostensibly
Its the same thing
The general act of denying people access to the larger platform
via whatever means
Also Duster is indian so he cant be racist
I think thats how it works
FAT32 SHAMER 04-Apr-18 11:01 PM
I never said ban
But we’re not going to be letting people drop the n word in here or else that’ll really fuel the whole “this server is run by nazis” thing on the forums rn
Taylor Swift 04-Apr-18 11:02 PM
Yeah really scared of that
Let supress speech so histronic morons think highly of us
FAT32 SHAMER 04-Apr-18 11:03 PM
!gdn_mute duster
GDN 04-Apr-18 11:03 PM
Muted duster
FAT32 SHAMER 04-Apr-18 11:03 PM
He mostly posts on your server anyways
So it doesn’t matter and if anyone says anything we’ve handled it
Taylor Swift 04-Apr-18 11:04 PM
Youve done Gods work here, FAT
Edd 05-Apr-18 02:31 AM
Muting for being a racist asshole is the right thing to do anyway
Danith 05-Apr-18 07:24 AM
but what about ironic racists?
ban edd for hanging out in the poe channel imo
Edd 05-Apr-18 07:56 AM
M8
Two of us use it a lot
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 08:44 AM
Have we destroyed any dead channels recently
Edd 05-Apr-18 08:55 AM
I was gonna archive mhw
Because it isn't being used much now
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:00 AM
Muting anyone for any reason outside spamming or being 100% obstructive is detestable
Danith 05-Apr-18 09:02 AM
I still think we should rename anime_goons to politics for awhile
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:02 AM
i will continue to mute people for using racist slurs here because regardless of what goons think, I do not want to read them nor listen to posters who use them
i dont care if he's indian or whatever
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:12 AM
Then we need to change our rules @Tempus Thales
Don’t use my creed if you aren’t going to follow it
We can not suppress speech just because we don’t like it
That’s an EXTREMELY dangerous path to embark down
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:25 AM
it's not even a permanent mute
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:26 AM
It doesn’t matter
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:26 AM
its a "dont be a fucking racist"
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:26 AM
Why
BroBot 05-Apr-18 09:26 AM
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:27 AM
Restrictions on speech are just as bad
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:27 AM
if the answer isnt immediately obvious to you then i dont know what to tell you
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:27 AM
If we start micromanaging where does it end
Don’t give me that
Argue your stance
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:29 AM
are you seriously asking me to argue my stance on why racism is bad and that racist chat should not be allowed in this server
if anything imagine your boss walks up behind you while discord is open and he sees the n word float by on your screen
Danith 05-Apr-18 09:30 AM
I don't think I've seen serious racist chat here
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:30 AM
imagine how that will go
neither have i, but i did see the n word used by duster and i muted him for it
Danith 05-Apr-18 09:31 AM
meh
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:34 AM
And
Who the fuck cares
Don’t gag at gnats
Also that was a terrible analogy
Since my boss went on a 10 minute rant about Mexicans over breakfast
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:38 AM
on the other hand i work for a giant german corporation that just fired some dude for posting a spicy meme about mexicans
its almost as if various people on this discord experience their daily life completely differently than someone else
what is true for you isnt going to be true for me even though we are both straight white dudes with a college education
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:46 AM
That is very true
Conversely not everyone gives a shit about seeing ~muh casual racism~ so to limit their speech would be pointless
Unless someone is actively Klan recruiting or posting death to all blacks over and over again
Let’s stay out of it
Muting for the n word is always the first step in a very very dangerous path
So lets avoid t all together
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:48 AM
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:48 AM
Alrighty
I'm gonna step in here
Restricting speech for racism is hugely important
You can't let people be racist fucks
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:48 AM
^^^
also,
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
There’s a difference in being an asshole and being “racist fucks”
And trying to label either way is dangerous
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
If you are using racist slurs you're a fuck
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
Wronf
Dead wrong
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
How?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
Because words don’t matter
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:49 AM
~MUH FREE SPEECH~
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:50 AM
There it is
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:50 AM
That's a stupid opinion and half the reason this current generation is fucked
Also free speech generally isn't even the right to speak freely
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:50 AM
Dead wrong again
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:50 AM
It's the most fucking misunderstood thing in the world
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:50 AM
Maybe
But I’m using my definition
The fact remains that we cannot go down this path
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
Like free speech is that for political opinions and criticisms
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
Not to me
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
that's what it is legally
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
Free speech is being able to say what you want
And if people hate you fine
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
if your free speech is causing people to perpetuate the idea that one race is better than another then it is harmful to society and the greater good is to restrict that type of speech, especially in a privately owned discord server
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
But when people at the top start micromanaging this the problem
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:51 AM
ALSO RACIAL SLURS ARE BANNABLE BY DISCORD
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:52 AM
That’s not what these people are doing and you know it
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:52 AM
and servers have been closed in the past for using them
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:52 AM
You’re flat out lying
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:52 AM
no im no
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:52 AM
Yes you are
Saying a slur is not tantamount to supremacy
That’s insane
That’s batshit insane
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:53 AM
discord can and will ban you for using racial slurs in their privately owned chat client and they will delete servers that use them everywhere
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:53 AM
The only servers that have gotteb deleted where ACTUAL nazis
And I’m not talking about that
I’m debating your concept that somehow being a dick is equal to idk
Holocaust support
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
then lets not let people post like ACTUAL nazis and let racial slurs fly
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
Ok nobody is
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
'Organizing and participating in raids or other forms of harassment. Do not engage in or post content encouraging the harassment of individuals or communities. If someone is harassing you or your community, be proactive and block them immediately.'
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
There are 0 nazis here
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
Guess what is purposely vaguely worded
That rule is
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
ok cool then i will continue to mute people for using racial slurs
and i encourage mods to do the same
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
And I’ll unmute them
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:54 AM
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
then i will make GDN automute them
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
As a server you have to follow these guidelines
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
^^^
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
Yeah and we do
Show me where a server or person has been banned for “casual racism”
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
It's very easy to take the one thing that I mentioned and for them to go 'racism is harassment'
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:55 AM
Show me
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
the burden of proof isnt on edd lmao
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
Yes it is
He’s making a claim
Prove it
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
historically racist slurs have been banned by discord
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
Prove it
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
Also just saying
Doesn't american law have something about racism?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:56 AM
No
Supreme Cort recently ruled hate speech is protected
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:57 AM
it says there is no exception to the first ammendment
but private organizations are allowed to punish for it still
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:57 AM
which they can
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:57 AM
Oh okay
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:57 AM
But don’t
Unless you’re an actual Nazi
Edd 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
Well in Australia there are laws against racism
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
Or doxxing people
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
yeah i grew up in australia and i was used to anti racism laws
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
What the duck is that
A picture of a watch?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:58 AM
idk
but hey wow theres the proof u requested
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:59 AM
Compelling evidence to be sure
Proof of what
Someone owns a watch?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:59 AM
Yes those are the actual nazis
That I mentioned
Remember that?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 09:59 AM
stop redirecting, i gave you proof of being banned for racist slurs
so lol
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 09:59 AM
That actual Nazis get banned?
Thanjs
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:00 AM
That’s a picture of a dudes watch
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:00 AM
I don’t care lmbo
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:00 AM
tay you fucking retard stop being obtuse
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
I’m serious how is a picture of his watch proof amid ahythibg
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
Where’s an email?
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
This is the one you want
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
Or a ban message
Ok
Ok well yeah
He was harassing people
Duh
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:01 AM
with racial slurs
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
Harassing
I said that earlier
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
you are purposefully ignoring the facts to perpetuate your own narrative
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
No I’m not
I’m stating the fact
He was harassing people
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
Either way
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
Either way
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
Being racist is dumb
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:02 AM
We aren’t doing it
Maybe
But being dumb is a God given right
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:03 AM
Depends what country you are in
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:03 AM
The best one
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:03 AM
i will continue to mute anyone who uses a racial slur in this server and i will write it into the goddamn bots to do it automatically if you remove them from being muted after i mute them
end of story
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
I’m going to fight you all the way on this
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
Also very specifically
The law is based on the california law
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
its not a frequent thing so get your panties out of your anus
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
You wont bring your draconian censorship into this discord while I’m admin
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
So what does the law say in California?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
🙄
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
Fuck calu
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
Doesn't matter
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
Nothing supersedes the constitution
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
We have to go by their law
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
Nothing
Supercedes
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:04 AM
It's in the fucking terms of service
You nong
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
lmao
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Yeah to not harass people
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
You agreed to this shit
No
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Don’t harass people and you’re find
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Read the last term
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
If they banned for racism bro
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
taylor doesnt understand his own countries law and is getting brutally owned by two australians
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Bro listen
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
incredible
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
This isn’t the law you dumbass
He’s literally quoting the tos
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
We have to go by US law
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Stop self agrandizing
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
AND californian law
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
Which projects hate speech
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:05 AM
you started saying nothing supercedes the first amendment
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:06 AM
Sara scotus
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:06 AM
Not either or
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:06 AM
Per scotus
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:06 AM
Also the reason we are particularly sensitive to racism
Is because it is a huge fucking problem in our country
And fuck, your country too(edited)
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:06 AM
Lmbo
👌🏿
Sure pal
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:24 AM
Regardless, I'm not gonna mute someone unless they're harassing someone and even then, I'll probably just post in here
I mean technically I should do something if someone violates the guidelines
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:43 AM
That’s fine
That’s 100% in-line with what we should do
Harassment = bad
“Casual racism” = bad but not harassment bad
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:45 AM
I guess it goes this way then
You should have no problem with them being reported directly to discord
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:45 AM
Sure if y’all want
As a side note, I’ve only been able to have this wonderful parlay because my chicken biscuit ran right through me
And I’ve spent all morning on the can
Instead of working
🙏🏿
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:46 AM
yeah my unit tests have been running so i have nothing to do but yell at u
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:46 AM
But if someone does get banned for it, then what?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
Then they’re gone
Problem not ours
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
discord bans are IP and machine based so
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
But wouldn't it mean there is precedent for the muting
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
that'll solve that
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
Let Discord hq be moral arbiters
Sure ok
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
yes that would be precedent, good point
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:47 AM
Like I said
Don’t hold your breaths
Unless someone comes in and goes full 1488
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:48 AM
Either way, as long as this server is never labelled as an alt right server it'll be fine
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:48 AM
Which we’d ban anyways
Too late lmbo
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:48 AM
Because anything close to alt right gets shut down by discord(edited)
Lol
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:48 AM
You’re never going to appease Goons
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:48 AM
Yeah lmbo
But it’s very clear we aren’t alt right
To anyone with half a brain
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:49 AM
I mean I'm pretty sure the majority of the goons here are left
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:49 AM
then they open your twitter and theyre like
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:49 AM
Prob
Yeah my Twitter is a regular ol mein kampf(edited)
Between the anime tiddies and sports
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:49 AM
Like all the political discussion in the PoE channel is all left aligned(edited)
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:50 AM
My Twitter is gold
And you know it fat
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:50 AM
So is your rapsheet ;)
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:50 AM
No it’s sad
8 years with 1 probe
Sad!
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:50 AM
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
Exactly
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
Either way, I don't agree with you and I'm perfectly happy to put that out there
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
wait did you see after your probe is done the permaban goes through?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
Who said that
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
FAU
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:51 AM
Nah he was talking about catboy
That’s not how it even works
He could perm me whenever
If he does it just proves me and my entire stance right
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:52 AM
Guess we'll see anyway :P
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:52 AM
I encourage it
I don’t post and it proves me right
That SA punishes wrong think
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:53 AM
What are your personal views anyway?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:54 AM
That would spoil the fun
I’ll summarize it though
TrapBot 05-Apr-18 10:54 AM
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:54 AM
I mean are you a racist?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:54 AM
Tldr
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:55 AM
Or rather do you discriminate against any groups of people?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:55 AM
No lmbo
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:55 AM
Will you call people out for doing that?
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:55 AM
If it’s egregious
I’ll tell you a funny story actually lmb
Here at lunch
Re: racism
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:56 AM
they banned riso from wtt for being too racist so idk
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:57 AM
Lmbo yeah
Banned the fuck outta him
WE ARE TALKING ABOUT PANCAKES IN FOOD CHAT RISO
WE DINT CARE ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU HATE MMUSLIMS
I’ll be at lunch in an hour we can continue
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:58 AM
He was being racist in a food channel?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:58 AM
i think taylor likes to argue and he is super MUH FREE SPEECH MUH BILL OF RIGHTS and doesnt like republicans nor democrats
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:58 AM
I'll be asleep
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 10:59 AM
rip
Edd 05-Apr-18 10:59 AM
I mean my stance is that everyone is stupid and people should realise that free speech is there for political ideas and criticisms
Not for people to dumbasses and say absolutely anything
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 10:59 AM
That’s
Pretty on the nose fat
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:00 AM
Super pro constitution
Everyone else is gay and dumb
Myself included
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:00 AM
I figure the constitution is like the bible
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:00 AM
like if you were a christian you would be one of the ones who is super THE OLD TESTAMENT STILL MATTERS REEEEE
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:00 AM
Myself ESPECIALLY
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:00 AM
WE STILL LIVE UNDER JEWISH LAW DONT WEAR MIXED FABRICS DONT EAT PORK OR SHRIMP
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:01 AM
It was supposedly relevant when it was constructed
But it very much isn't now
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:01 AM
Lmbo
Dead wrong
It’s just as important now
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:01 AM
I mean good thing most countries have actual laws
Or we'd be boned
Or actual precedent for that matter
Fun fact
Australia doesn't even have free speech laws
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
Rip
BroBot 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
Ya, RIP
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
It's implicit, not explicit
And only applies to political opinions
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
correct
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
That’s gay and dumb
Super gay, in fact
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
No, it is sensible
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
To you maybe
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
but u can be sued into oblivion by antidefamation laws like in the uk and canada which can be used by corps to do shitty stuff
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:02 AM
But I’m perfectly content with muh 1st
Which is super no bueno
I hate corps ALMOST as much as I hate the government
Almost
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:03 AM
the issue in america right now is that some people want to update the constitution to match the year 2018 because it's pretty out of date even if the concepts behind them are still viable, then there are those who feel that updating it is either a crime against the country or at least not a good idea since if it aint broke (in their opinion) dont fix it
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:04 AM
Latter 100% correct
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:04 AM
I mean American has been going downhill for years
And is getting less and less relevant
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:04 AM
the entire western world is
white people are outnumbered by indians and chinese by significant margins and white people are scared of being a minority in the future
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:05 AM
In the future
Bruh internationally we already are
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:05 AM
i mean being a minority in the place that u currently live
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:05 AM
Which is bad btw
Anyone being a minority in their own country is bad
Hth
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:06 AM
thankfully america and australia and canada are cultural melting pots/mosaics
so its all good
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:06 AM
Well
Ain’t gonna get into that
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:06 AM
like the idiots consider me an american even though im an irish/norwegian person who grew up in norway and australia then moved to the states
talk about getting brutally owned
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:07 AM
Close enough
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:07 AM
Not really, in a lot of countries you probably wouldn't want to be considered american lol
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:07 AM
"theyre gay and bad" - taylor
"america #1" - also taylor
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:08 AM
Sure
I’m gay and bad but also #1
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:08 AM
You're not \#1
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:08 AM
technically china is #1
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:09 AM
Or any of the 4 asian tigers
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:09 AM
oh yeah we had the whole pro-globalism/pro-nationalism chat before in wtt

Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:10 AM
Nationalism real good hth tia god bless HH
BroBot 05-Apr-18 11:10 AM
plz dont be a jerk
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:10 AM
What are your views on Neoliberalism?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:12 AM
neolibs are choking on the double dicks theyre trying to blow and neither side likes them
at least here in the states
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:12 AM
Same
I hate all parties
Tbqh
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:12 AM
I mean
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:12 AM
And most ideaologies
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:12 AM
It's an economic thing
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:13 AM
Idk
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:14 AM
neoliberalism fucks the poor slightly less and fucks the rich slightly more so nobody likes it
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:14 AM
And is also the reason so many countries are currently successful lol
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 11:14 AM
correct
its a step in the right direction
Edd 05-Apr-18 11:17 AM
Either way, I'm gonna go sleep, have fun
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 11:21 AM
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 12:09 PM
Anyways story
I was selling an atv back in 2012 using the State Farm market paper
Terrapro
Yamaha model that had a mower attachment very niche piece of equipment
So I got a call and someone came and looked at it. Old white man with his wife
So he gets back there and hems and haws about it oh it’s not in ideal shape I’ve seen better
Lowballs me by 400$
So I politely decline and we walk back from my shop talking saying how he’s bought a bunch and their good
And he says “I wouldn’t trade one for a golden nigger”
Long story short I sold it to two black guys who paid asking price
Then came inside and bought an antique I had
My point being to edds original question re: suprememcy
Everyone sucks and is some permutation of fat dumb ugly and gay
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 01:52 PM
I am not in the business of micro-managing shit.
I also think we have lost a ton of traffic. I knew as Discord got more popular and other people started spinning their own instances, we were going to be come less relevant, but the amouunt of traffic that gets redirected to other servers like some I am not going to mention is huge. I know I am not $100 bill to some goons, but that can't be just it.
We have over a 1000 acvtive people but we only have 20 people in traffic
I think I'm going to start consolidating game chats into PC, Console and mmogeneral
the chatrooms are pretty active as they are.
but other than those, we have lost a ton of gaming traffic.
just dont know what else to do to drive traffic here... I feel for the most part im the only one doing pretty much everything for the server... its getting tiresome
@Kimsemus used to be super active now he rarely participates. @IAmKale is never around, but he is never around anywhere not even in Nintengoons... so that is pretty normal. and @FAT32 SHAMER and @Taylor Swift all they do for the most part is bitch at each other and complain about who micro manages more or less.
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:00 PM
rip
Danith 05-Apr-18 02:04 PM
DO it
also, no one ever advertises this server
Last I checked it wasn't even on PGS front page
which was awhile ago, but still
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:07 PM
I’m willing to do whatever
Tbqh
Just say the word
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:08 PM
@Danith we have been waiting on the updates to GDN to add it again to PGS
but you know our main dev is awol and until that doesnt get updated we are sitting ducks.
and I know @Rejd is interested in taking over, but @IAmKale needs to make time to update GDN and then passover development if he doesnt want to work on it anymore.
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:10 PM
I think part of the problem is that we created fractured servers for different games that have come out and nobody joins them because they aren't in the OP
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:10 PM
yeah thats something that needs to get added to the Op
the new op at least.
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:11 PM
we should just have everyone play games here with separate voice channels and stuff instead of fracturing into places like nintengoons
IAmKale 05-Apr-18 02:11 PM
I'm not passing over development
Rejd can write their own if they want(edited)
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:11 PM
:hellyeah:
BroBot 05-Apr-18 02:11 PM
Danith 05-Apr-18 02:11 PM
I'll write one in powershell
IAmKale 05-Apr-18 02:12 PM
GDN has been working fine
Danith 05-Apr-18 02:12 PM
get riso to advertise this on 4chan
:sav:
BroBot 05-Apr-18 02:12 PM
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:12 PM
it has when its up, but you know the library its using its super old.
@IAmKale if you are not passing over development then make some room to work on it...
or delegate development for people who want to help by adding commits and then you can merge them.
@FAT32 SHAMER I agree, so lets close Serious Overchill and bring all your people here.
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:15 PM
lol im not the srsoc server owner, I just run the overwatch community
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:15 PM
ok so bring the overwatch community here
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:18 PM
its not that simple
you cannot just migrate a community that 1) finds this server to be full of retards 2)is embedded in the culture and community of the other server
like you wouldn't ask tay to bring the conan/rust community to WTT here
there is something to be said for differences in server cultures and how in some cases its for the best to keep them separate
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:19 PM
I was going to do just that now.
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:19 PM
lmao
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:19 PM
@Taylor Swift bring rust/wtt to here.
done
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:20 PM
>Rust
Yeah lemme bring all 2 of them
Also isnt me and mine the problem here
Per some people
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:20 PM
the way I see it is WTT leans conservative, srsoc leans liberal, and this server acts as a middle ground where everyone can pile in and yell at each other
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:20 PM
I know but it seems the rhetoric
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:20 PM
WTT leans nothing
WTT is neutral
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:21 PM
you know what I mean tho, the cultures clash regardless of whatever
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:22 PM
Nobody from WTT clashes here
The only people that ever kick up shit are you and yours
But thats not the point
Awful is right, SRS and this discord are essentially the same
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:24 PM
here we go.
🍿
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:24 PM
Nah Im not gonna keep going
We all know the script, lets avoid it
Tempus Thales 05-Apr-18 02:27 PM
In all seriousness I don't mind there are other servers out there.
I dont think the answer is to merge anything, (like that would ever happen) we are the middle ground, we are SA Live and thats what we need to get back to.
Everyone is allowed to spin whatever.
SRS can be left and whomeever can be right, this is not about politics
its about expression, with a certain modicum of control
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:30 PM
yeah I get that
the strategy that we have been using is gearing up for a new game release, getting active in the thread or writing the OP, and making a category for it
from there smaller discords pop up and are added to the op so that people can always find other people to play with and nobody cares
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:33 PM
So the question then is how do WE do that
And who does it
You cant
I cant
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:34 PM
for us the users or mods come to us and be like "yo we wanna play fort nite" and if there are a bunch of them who are also down then we're like ok cool lets start the OP or post a link in the thread with an invite
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:34 PM
Right but thats apples and oranges
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:34 PM
I did it for a previous iteration of destiny 2 so technically we can
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:34 PM
Youre talking about a group with an internal culture you can feed off of
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:35 PM
we have kind of an internal culture here, its just much much smaller
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:35 PM
MUCH smaller and not based on anything except shitposting
IAmKale 05-Apr-18 02:35 PM
nah, that's just Riso and Danith
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:35 PM
So the question is how to A. Re-engage existing people
B. Bring in new people
IAmKale 05-Apr-18 02:36 PM
discordgoons.com
and we're self-affiliated with SA, so people will find their way here
do we want it to be an active community?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:37 PM
i guess we have to decide if we want to focus on being a networking solution
or a shitposting powerhouse
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:37 PM
porque no los dos
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:37 PM
then buff GDN usage because i dont see it in very many servers outside of the ones TT is involved in making
well if neither of us can make OPs to threads or advertise in existing threads with "hey a few of us are playing join this role to get pinged when we are" that leaves @Danith or some other poster to do it
which makes it hard to get fresh blood in here
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:39 PM
We cant do it, TT cant really do it because hes not a boy scout either
Kim wont
Kale...? idk
Man really got a Murders Row of admins here
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:40 PM
yeah
like unironically, i wonder if people join and see Taylor "White Nationalist" Swift, Tusen "Saturn Thread" Takk, and Tempus "Goonfucker" Thales and nope right out
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:41 PM
Bruh
Thats what Ive been saying since forever
Im the LEAST contro person here
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:41 PM
lmao
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:41 PM
What does that say about us?
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:42 PM
all goons are bad
its just we're all the worst
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:42 PM
Wow we finally agree
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:42 PM
btw your story earlier made me rethink some things about you
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:42 PM
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:42 PM
and since you are so confusing im sorry that i assume a great deal based on the things you say that are allegedly parody
hopefully we can stop yelling at each other about everything and just keep it about muting racists
Taylor Swift 05-Apr-18 02:43 PM
Youre still gay
But so am I so
🤷🏿
FAT32 SHAMER 05-Apr-18 02:43 PM
at least i'm not Super Gay
Danith 05-Apr-18 02:43 PM
Im on all the time
