welcome!

[gorzek]

yes, i made a forum. again. i'm tired of social media.

introduce yourself or something.

[Aloria]

hey, I'm Aloria.
my only other socmed is Tumblr. Farcebook won't let me create an account. I don't like Instab, and don't want to give elong must my phone number.
I do not use the proper names for things/people I don't respect
I write books. but I'll probably get political here, so I'm not gonna share my pennames publically.

[gorzek]

yeah, i don't mind if people get political here. i will probably make a forum specifically for that, just to "contain" it (to the extent one ever can.)

i won't be tolerating fascists in any capacity, though. that should go without saying, but these days...

[ScottyMcGee]

Hey losers! Aw hell yeah, feels like 2007 all over again. I love forums! You can just call my Scotty here. 
I write and I have a YouTube channel. I also run a sci-fi audio drama podcast Galactic Punch Bowl. EDIT: Links are in my profile!

[gorzek]

[Aloria]

spark!!! is it really possible to be too online??

yess... yes it is. a lot of tumblerinas are waaay too online and should go touch grass.

[gorzek]

tumblr scares me.

[Aloria]

tumblr scares me.

it should :D
it is not a place for the feint of heart.

[ScottyMcGee]

man, tumblr used to be so cool.

then they banned p0rn

[gorzek]

did they let the porn back on now that Automattic owns it?

[ScottyMcGee]

oh did they? I have no idea. I just know ever since Trump passed that "protect the children" act that was so vague tumblr was like "aight gotta ban porn now" and killed online sex work in a lot of other sites too.

[gorzek]

yeah, i think at that time they were owned by Verizon which obviously wanted no part of such a dumpster fire and rapidly moved to ban

[Aloria]

man, tumblr used to be so cool.

then they banned p0rn

on paper they banned porn, but the porn bots are alive and thriving.
