Shitposter while I tend to two babies. Maybe when I have my life back, I’ll help us get a few more niche communities back?

    Wow, quite wild to see some Lemmings get wooshed this hard by an Adam Ellis comic. Though I guess it’s mostly aimed at his audience on Bluesky or Reddit. I follow him on the former. He’s been experimenting a lot ever since he left Buzzfeed.

    Anyway, look at the exaggerated arch in his back. Look at the barbie-font Jesus poster. Acknowledge Ellis’ work is often very LGBT (when it’s not horror, lol). He’s poking fun at hypocrite religious folks, or maybe he’s making fun of how very gay it is to get on your knees for Jesus. Or maybe however you interpret it… I mostly just giggled at that fucking ARCH of a back.

    Basically, Christianity is so gay, lol.




  • Maybe, although your standard “we have this congressmen to talk about the last thing Trump did” just depends. It’s usually like, whoever is on some committee, so if it’s an R they bullshit the interview, if it’s a D, the world is ending. It only feels a bit overcorrected if they don’t push back on the bullshit, but the last interview I heard did include that. Just not always.

    Still a majority of the programming is like, “this random town has an annual event that’s weird but cool, but it’s under threat from climate change” which is just like… apolitical if you understand facts.














  • Mumble was… fine. My friends actually moved to Discord from Mumble for our MMO stuff but that was primarily because it was easier to invite randos to the chat. That quality makes it almost impossible to break away from atm.

    I recall the latency being only a little worse than Discord, but I think that’s because a friend set up the server at his work as a side thing (he also hosted Minecraft and Terraria). It’s not too complex to setup, but your quality will depend a lot on the computer and network you’re running. At least, it did for us, back in the day.

    We’ve thought about alternatives to Discord. Old names were Ventrilo and TeamSpeak but they’re just not very modern. Plus, now almost every chat app has voice, too. Just, for features, it’s hard to beat Discord at this… though I’m willing to read the other comments to get for ideas, too. Lol
