“Could be the ratchet effect. Lemmygrad and Hexbear are both explicitly Marxist-Leninist, but .ml is explicitly FOSS and Privacy based, just with Marxist-Leninist admins.”

This was back when I tried to get PugJesus to try to understand how deeply unserious they were, and generally tried to appear less threatening to liberals to hopefully lead some to question liberalism or even read theory

(Spoiler: it didn’t work)

Specifically, it was in reference to Lemmy.world becoming more and more right-wing as the target boogeyman shifts from more overt to less overt leftism, especially since ml removed leftist from its description.

Kinda funny seeing it up there now that I’ve made a Hexbear account

    Cardistry looks awesome, but no way am I coordinated enough for that.

    As for lore, I have always been obsessed with Fallout, but via ADHD. Never have I loved and hated a franchise more than that, haha

      I’ve messed around a bit with begleri and butterfly knives and started doing it deliberately because I’m not that coordinated and wanted to try to improve. I have shit motor skills in general lol. Cardistry is just my next step in “maybe I can do that”.

      I almost picked up Fallout 3 and New Vegas over the summer sale and maybe even talked with you about them but ultimately chose not to because modding those games on Linux is broke af. I think I may eventually go ahead and grab them and go without mods though. I’m interested in the lore but don’t know anything about it. I think apocalyptic lore/world building in general is fascinating.

        We did talk, I remember that! Modding on Linux is in a better state last I ventured, I’ve done it a few times.
