would probably be useful to replace my pinned with a notice that i'm more active on fedi, not wasteof.money. you can follow me at @tauon@possum.city
if you want more lily content (codeblock so i don't accidentally ping anyone)
chromies can you help out 8bit here, i don’t know about the blocking extensions
for clarification, it works on the computers in our computer lab. not chromebooks tho, which means i now only get a single period to use wasteof
User @8bit has recently stated on darflen that “wasteof.money is now blocked for him” And he asked people to spread the word, which I am doing. Hopefully he can find a solution soon.
Update: He can now use it for a small period each school day
this is forever relevant
please stop posting entire paragraph essays on wasteof.money drama (and please stop upvoting them onto trending)
this community isn’t very much better than anything else tbh
when you have a lot of the same going on you get into an echo chamber where no one gets to express any other opinion
the only logical thing to follow that, then, is a lot of complaining and infighting about nothing worthwhile
i don’t think i can really interact with this community that often, due to the amount of useless shit-stirring i see getting like 20+ upvotes from people crying about the “good old days of wasteof” (when we were using jdenticon? when we were getting spammed by the bee movie script? maybe it was a bit funny, but it’s just the same as now.)
basically, there needs to be a change where people go back to posting good and funny, “gunny”, if you will, and if they’ve something negative to say, just don’t.
this is because of the fact that wasteof doesn’t (yet? maybe in wasteof4? will suggest this if it’s not already planned) have native cws, meaning you have to cw like twitter and get a userscript to hide the post. if there were cws, people could cw for meta, then no one would have to see these useless posts (because let’s be real, meta on wasteof is nowhere near as serious as on other communities like fedi, and there’s almost never an actual reason to post it).
