Host @host@tabletop.social

something

@kensanata @PresGas @Gorgmorg @lskh here is an invite https://discord.gg/xwyGuW (not much happend there anyway)

Hello friends,

I know a few of you use Fedilab (formerly mastalab).
This is a call to let you know that we will stop supporting it in a future version.

I know it takes time to migrate client, so we wont ban it overnight, but do move sooner rather than latter to avoid surprises.

I'd recommend using Tusky (and not a fork of tusky, use the original one).

Fedilab as again and again proved to be supporting nazi and provide infratructure to them.

We cannot tolerate that

@Ackthrice
I think the most mechanical one I know is Ludology.

I love boardgame in bed, but it is very light and not exactly what you are looking for.

I know the boargame design lab podcast has quite a few good episode that covers specific mechanics.

boardgame.business has nice things on the industry (so everything else that needs to happend to make games).

Mark Rosewater has a good podcast that sometime covers mechanics

Board Game University old episode were good.

@AlinaTheHedgehog I'm sorry to hear it is stressing you out.

Maybe you are starting to realise that only privileges allow one to be kept out of politics.

The rest of us don't have a chance to avoid it.

Maybe watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATFyBRhCQvw or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D1-qUJLM_PA to see why I'm referring to the status quo, the middle ground no politic is a choice of politics.

@AlinaTheHedgehog Why would you say that?
Because you don't want nazi, you should also ban people that want to not kill people very very very much?

So ban people that are homophobic but also ban overtly gay ?

That doesn't make much sense.

I think people at ellek and people here want to explicitly wear our colours.

No pollitics is a politic of status quo.
The status quo is no good, the world is not perfect now.

@AlinaTheHedgehog I don't understand how that is a problem to you.

Admin pay for the instance, spend a lot of time maintaining, moderating it and are legally responsible for what appears on it.

It sounds logical that they choose who they want to host.
To an extend, it is like their house.

To be fair if you don't like it, you can host your own or go elsewhere.
You can also change your way of seeing the world and yourself.

@AlinaTheHedgehog I am saying that righ wing exrtremism is bad. Like nationalism is bad.

Also left and right are one axis and most people on the fediverse would see another axis on the libertarian and authoritarian axis.

Here is a way to understand what I just said
https://www.politicalcompass.org/test

@AlinaTheHedgehog if you haven't, I would strongly suggest that you take some time to look into the alt-right playbook video series on youtube.

Here is the intro video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4xGawJIseNY

That will probably help understand my point of view of why I don't think there are place devoid of political and why the left if vocal about being the left and why it matters.

(Not saying your have to change)

I'd love a chat after you watched it all

@AlinaTheHedgehog One thing that you are not mentioning here is that gamning community are a recruitment ground for fascist.

This is the one place that they activelly recruit people, endoctrinate and radicalise.

Those are then people that are actually going to arm themselves and kill people in the real world.

Having clear left stance, make that space devoid of a chance of far righters and fascist.

There is no middle ground

@AlinaTheHedgehog I don't think there is bad thing in the left the same way as it is bad in the right.

I'm not really up to have that debate today.

@AlinaTheHedgehog no no, you got it wrong, I'm not accusing you of anything.

There are people on the internet that accuse women to be fake <something> girl.

This is something that I see as a bad thing and I do not wish to see on this mastodon instance.
This is why we are explicitelly setting rules to make sure the people that would make those comment are not welcome here.

Apologies if that wasn't clear

(I'll read the rest of your thred now)

Anyone want an invite to tabletop.social ?

Slide in my DMs (do read the terms and rules tho).

PS: No Nazi and no terfs etc.

we are going to block mastodon.gamedev.place because they don't see a problem with platforming TERFs.

We do

(here if you want to look up why, do follow this : https://social.libre.fi/notice/9lc3iadTT8NFZhhkbQ )

@AlinaTheHedgehog Sonic is deeply political.
Some Elon Musk is destroying the forest and capturing animal and transforming them into robots.

I mean it is hard to see it as a non political stance.

Also some peoples existing is highly political.
How long did we have to/ will we have to endure "fake gamer girl" nonsense.

One cannot create an instance that disable the bad actor without naming the rules imo
