I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find it this explanation.

My first thought was “wait did discord saying something bad about FOSS lately?” No, nothing unusual. Must be missing something.

Turns out some people see Discord as a sort of mascot for closed source, and that is what the joke hinged on.

Edit:

Actually it’s worse than that, isn’t it? They’re seeing the coexistence of closed source as being antithetical to open source.

Good luck with that I guess.

Just admiring the kill.

hang on let me check the big bi handibook…

yep, it’s ass.

edit:

I did not see that there was a second thing you could be responding to. I’ll look that one up too…

It showed up for me about a month ago. I put up with it for about a week and then broke down and finally switched all my browser search engines to duckduckgo.

Made me check hope, even though I knew it was a shitpost.

True! And those people vote.

For me it depends entirely on 1) which hobby and 2) how the mainstream audience shapes it; if investors believe they can make more money by promoting certain aspects of the hobby, they can change it’s entire landscape. And that’s not even getting into what can happen when IP law gets involved.

It’s a shitty tradeoff to have to make, because sometimes I just want to everyone to enjoy what I enjoy. I’ve also seen hobbies die from too much exposure.

We’re still a lot better over distance, iirc, which is why we are able to ride them

That’s why he’s so god damn cool

Yes but LSD can be absorbed through the skin, so you wouldn’t have to go through all the trouble of convincing someone to eat poison

I interpreted it as a sarcastic exaggeration, like all animals are “divine” compared to machines

• owner: wtf gov
• gov: try another gov

Nice try, FBI!

That’s the problem though. His core supporters define themselves by who they oppose, so anything negative said about him is seen as an attack and becomes fuel for the hate machine

I assumed the hot water was to temper/test the glass so it doesn’t shatter when you pour in the hot jam
