When organizations mess up, why is their first response to the critique to say “Why didn’t you come to us first?” when they really mean “Why did you make this public so we actually have to do something?”
I get really frustrated with the response because it doesn’t come across as a company actually interested in improving, but just throwing accusations back and trying to beg off the responsibility of actually holding themselves accountable.
You’re seeing words that trigger your community’s language filter, I believe.
Here’s the guide I used from Way of Leaf for my first flush. The main way that mushroom cultures fail is because they get overtaken by mold spores, so sterilization of everything is VITAL. Spores can be purchased online for microscopy purposes, along with pre-sterilized grain bags with injection ports.
This feels like a bad faith argument. OP correctly identifies that users from instances other than Beehaw tend to be more likely to engage in argumentative and pedantic commentary, which you prove in your interactions so far.
Seconding this. OP seems very determined to avoid interacting with comments that don’t explicitly confirm their own worldview.
I appreciate your work moderating and growing a community <3
I believe this troll is referring to the transexual and bisexual pride flags on OP’s banner. Best not to engage further.
Very true, I forgot about the doorbell cameras! Neighbors on FB will often post their camera footage when a “suspicious” (read: black or young) person drives by
I feel the more likely scenario is for public surveillance to reach a point where everyone outside their home (or near a window) is being recorded from multiple sources.
Just started my first playthrough recently, should be exciting to have even more stuff to discover!
Seconding this; Cruelty Squad is hitting that Deus Ex/Quake itch for me right now
Thank you for sharing your experience. Reading the replies it seems like most of us have experienced similar from Reddit, and I agree with ArtZuron’s comment “the more public an online space becomes […] [t]he loudest most obnoxious people ruin it”. I’m reminded of Alyaza’s post of how unchecked toxicity can rapidly poison a userbase and drive away positive interaction. MayonnaiseArch sums it up better than I can: “being abused and gaslit and molested in any single interaction really makes you act in a different way, you can’t be honest or open in that kind of environment”
If I’m drinking with friends I’ll go for a cider - Ciderboys make a peach-apple cider that I’m very fond of. For liquor I like Bulleit bourbon, especially the 10-year aged stuff.
I’ve been playing Lumencraft this week, it’s a top-down shooter/base-builder/tower defence game, or as I described it to my friend, “Factorio without the factory”.
