Not sure if I'm the odd one out, but I'd usually prefer like topics be collected for convenient searching. Don't want to be flipping through unrelated stuff to find NPCs if I'm searching for NPC stuff.

You've gotten so much more striking (and deeper-fronted tops)

And the self-hosting documentation is part of the plans. Open source self-hosting capable is definitely behind a chunk of the support for it.

I just explain all the bonus types as 'there's thirteen of them. If two of the same type affect the same thing, they don't stack. If it's Dodge, Circumstance or untyped, then it does stack. The names don't mean much otherwise.'

There are a surprising number of chat apps.

It might not be impossible but it would surely make things more difficult. A society not really suffering from known systemic issues makes it far less likely other conflicts will survive inception because...the society is well-adjusted to tackle them.

It's hardly even just persona. Pushback anywhere this stuff is tried with whatever ID verification company.

Time for the latest, Cassandra Kalos'vil. A Nephilim mix of a Succubus and Celestial of Temperence, she has had...a difficult time reconciling her recently-revealed heritages. But she loves her work, and her partner, who can keep up with her fantastic libido.

More than unnecessary, it's going to enable groomers more and there aren't any actual restrictions they could put in place that would work to achieve the stated goal because I would prevent their chatting platform being used as a chatting platform.

Counter-plunderin'

I'm just tempering that somewhat with the fact that this wasn't replacing creativity, it wasn't replacing employees (the alternative wasn't hiring someone, it was doing the same work the dev knows how to do but taking significantly longer) and the intent is to avoid it's use now.

I'm involved with art, writing, and so forth that GenAI has encroached upon and I'm entirely with you on that. I don't agree with GenAI at the scale it exists at, or as a replacement for employees or creativity. Even in this case, I disagree with its use on the environmental grounds.

project must not use it if they don't know about what they'd be producing and don't review the code. Essentially saying that anyone added to the team mustn't use it unless it's something they can do and will check and are otherwise just cutting it down on time.

The only caveat I'll add is that while the dev of Fluxer has said they don't want to use LLMs where at all possible now there's opportunity to add more developers, it's difficult to exactly police how every dev uses things. The declaration is that anyone who does consider using it as part of the

RE: Communities, that's likely to avoid overload since Discovery is currently being manually approved by the very small dev team. That being said, I was mainly wanting to tackle the misinformation/fearmongering rather than trying to declare it some perfect platform.

As to the situation with Plutonium vs Nitro I kinda see it, but I'm not sure how many features Plutonium actually locks away. The features it grants are global emojis, animated avatars, custom entrance sounds and a profile badge. Global emojis isn't nice, but the rest are cosmetic.

And on those I understand. Stoat running on donations though doesn't necessarily scale if it wants to properly compete with Discord. It might, but it personally made me much more wary of investing time into it.

Like, I get the concern but it's not some vibe code with no future. It was automated tedium to avoid eventual enshittification that now they aren't going to use again.

And in the past few days a major refactoring of the code has been done without it. It's...not relying on it. It was using it to get something functional without relying on venture capital and now the plan isn't to use it any further.

Currently the most Discord-like seem to be Stoat, Spacebar, and Fluxer. Fluxer is solid but in beta from my experience, Stoat is usable but currently barebones and has uncertain economic future, and I can't comment on Spacebar because I can't get any of its clients to start for me.

Root is indeed aggressively anti-NSFW, and I believe has a clause that declares they own the rights to anything you post, or at least any images. So not great for artists of any stripe.

The dev said they used LLMs to automate work that would've taken substantially longer to the point it would not have been viable to develop in time, and only used it on things they were already confident in being able to review effectively. They otherwise state they would much prefer to hand-code.

The LLMephant in the room Fluxer was largely built before LLMs became a normal part of day-to-day development. I do use them now, but in a limited way: as a rubber duck and for mechanical implementation work when I already have a detailed spec. I treat the code it outputs like I would any external contribution. No LLM designed the system, wrote the specs, or made architectural decisions. That was all me. I only use LLMs when I already know the platform well enough to review the result properly. Ultimately, you'll have to take my word for it that I'm trying to handle this responsibly. Fluxer is a large, complicated codebase because the project itself is large and complicated. LLMs still aren't capable of autonomously producing anything like what Fluxer is today. If it were that easy to create something this polished on a whim using only LLMs, we'd already be swimming in credible Discord alternatives. In short, for Fluxer: PRs should be reviewable, understandable, and test-backed. Submitting generated code you cannot explain, or using an LLM to bypass review standards, isn't acceptable. At the same time, responsible use of LLMs as a tool is fine, and contributors should not be harassed for using them.

This is my work, and it's hard-earned. If something seems too good to be true, it's because I've put real effort into making it good. I get that in the age of LLMs, people are more suspicious and may assume bad intent behind every project. But some projects come from true passion and domain understanding. That's the case for Fluxer. I could've built and maintained this platform without using LLMs for the mechanical parts of the work. It just would've taken about three times as long. At that pace, I'd need a full-time job to make a living, and then I wouldn't have time for Fluxer anyway. This is the world we live in, and sometimes compromises are unavoidable. Starting with no money, the realistic options were to raise VC funding (since most people won't back a project like this until it's already close to what they expect), or to use LLMs in a limited, controlled way to speed up the mechanical tasks. I chose the latter so the project could stay independent. If you feel conflicted about this, know that I do too. I'm happier writing code by hand. Going forward, LLMs don't need to be quite as involved. Now that I've released publicly, I don't necessarily need to work on this alone, and I've prepared the codebase to make it attractive to people who want to self-host the software. I hope to find a small group of like-minded individuals, or even occasional one-off contributors, who want to help build Fluxer. From here on, Fluxer is maintained by the community as free and open source software. I also hope to use donations and other funding to support community maintainers, including bounties for specific work.

Given the age people can retire at is going up and up, they're already wanting that.

Both. I picked both. Elves with immense curves who also possess features that make them inherently unsettling. Beautiful yet frightening, that's Elves.

There are things to be conspiratorial over but I don't think this is it. Servers have traffic limitations dependent on software and hardware. The exact same thing happens when more people than expected want to buy something.

Because now Discord wants to roll out mandatory biometric age recognition in a few weeks. That thing that's demonstrably just for information control, under the guise of protecting kids. So the next data breach will have a convenient list of young users.

The latest work, Titan. 15ft tall in this form but grander than a mountain, she's quiet and contemplative. Spending much of her time in her orbital nest, she is a creator of all kinds of artefacts and watcher of worlds.

There are apparently a few usable emulators apparently

Except for the weapon historically being made for piercing weakpoints in heavy armour, which would mean it's exclusively good for paladins.
