I'm referring to your constant advertisement posts.

I was actually specifically referring to Value Subtracted constantly spamming empty threads and ST:O ads.

I do like the non-spam content on this instance, such as Quark's and Daystrom. I'm subscribed to it through other accounts, but occasionally I poke my head in on the actual account I have here.

Personally, with most of the instances I actually use, I find it easier to just look at the Local feed. On this instance, however, a significant portion of what gets posted is just repetitive spam, so it's hard to really do that. It's much easier to subscribe to individual interesting communities, such as Daystrom and Quark's, through other instances that I'm more likely to actively use.

I suppose if you don't care what kind of experience anyone has on your instance, that's your business.

Goofy decision. I have an account here, but I rarely use it because of the ratio of spam to genuine posts on the instance.

You could always just defederate from those toxic instances? It seems like this isn't a popular decision with the community. Might be worth rethinking it.

Only because there's no box on the license application that says "donate body to be chummed and thrown on rich people".

But for real if my vacated body can save someone else's life or make it better by all means get that shit.

Android police needs an editor. This guy out here casually throwing

around in an article like it's cool.

Okay I don't love Lemmy's implementation of spoiler tags.

They really hit the uncanny valley with that set. Like, they look so realistic that the parts that look unrealistic look totally weird. I think if they'd eased back on the texture a little I wouldn't notice how odd Kira and Julian look, or how Sisko seems to have shaved off his eyebrows and be trying to poop. Which, like, it kinda looks like Dax is doing too.

I hadn't even thought of this. Apparently it gave him terrible headaches too, because they screwed the damn visor into his head. Crazy. Poor guy.

I can't not think of Peanut Hamper.

Oh, I assumed he was talking about something written for him recently. Sulu showed up in Lower Decks not too long ago, and I know the franchise in general has a penchant for nostalgia at the moment. He certainly seemed to have a little more of a Takei tone in his LD appearance, but that may also just be him having grown more into himself over the years.

But yeah, if it's someone else playing it and it doesn't inform an established performance, then whatever.

I mean, if it informs the performance meaningfully, it's part of the end product. Doesn't mean it's necessarily canon or whatever, but it certainly has the potential to impact later performances if direction moves away from the actor's previous internal preparation.

I could see it being off-putting to work under a director or with writing that bleeds your public personality into your role, especially if it's one you've gotten to a certain place with.

Like even as a roleplayer, any character i might embody in the moment has a life of its own that's distinct from mine, and would make decisions that I wouldn't. If someone tried to push me into acting a way that's more typical of myself out of character or that's more in line with a different character I play, or if they reacted to the character based on that outside stuff, I'd certainly resist it.

Clearly Rom is neutral good and Moogie is chaotic good.
