Welcome! It’s a bit slow around here compared to reddit but the vibes are chill. 😎

I love cbu3 leaning into the Phoenix as their mascot, glad we’re finally getting the coil version as a mount.
Pretty much same experience here. I had some fun with it as an overwatch replacement for a couple weeks after launch, but it was pretty rough around the edges and the monetization was… yeah.
Not surprised they’re killing it already, maybe someday Bandai will give us an actually good Gundam game again. From Software is making more Armored Core in collaboration with Bamco already, I’d love to see them take the IP and do something with it.
Soon as I find some time to figure out lemmy bots, I’d like to automate this kind of thing - unless you want to keep doing it manually! 😅
Kamille, listen, who cares if your name is a girl’s name. And it is, Kamille. It is. But it doesn’t have to–put down the ball–it doesn’t have to define you because you can CHANGE it, Kamille. Buy a mask or some sunglasses and call yourself WHATEVER you want. People are idiots. Also it’s pronounced BAH-JEEN-AH. Of course I know how it SOUNDS, Kamille. I’m not an IDIOT. I’m a drunk who makes poor choices. Let’s see you stay off the sauce after your first few war crimes, Kamille. Let’s see how sober YOU are. Now shut up and get back in the cockpit.
That aspect of ffxiv is one of my favorite things about it - there’s almost no fomo / season pass shenanigans (outside of pvp). I’ve been playing since the 2.X days and the way everything is designed around playing at your own pace has really made it easy to enjoy over the years.
Thanks for the reply. I’ve been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren’t constantly on top of things.
As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance’s stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don’t allow. I wouldn’t think you’d want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.
Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?
Both types of discussion are welcome here - if this ever grows large enough that we need to split the “hardcore” crowd into their own community, we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
The REAL real tragedy would be losing r/shitpostxiv 🤣
Media criticism is welcome here, so long as everyone is respectful. Art is inherently subjective - people are going to like different things for different reasons, and it’s okay to say you didn’t enjoy something.
I’d discourage low effort discussion though. Instead of saying “Voyager sucks” let’s try “Voyager didn’t work for me because it was too episodic” (not a criticism I personally have, just an example).
I’d suggest reviewing the posting guidelines in the sidebar, and if anyone gets nasty or you see harassment feel free to file a report or shoot me a DM.
Subscribed! For people on the lemmy side, just searching for https://kbin.social/m/thescarydoor should have it come up.
Posted this elsewhere, but as people flood in maybe some community promotion isn’t a bad thing…
I’ve setup an instance focused on some niche topics and hobbies, there’s not much there yet but here they are if anyone wants to check them out:
FFXIV → https://possumpat.io/c/ffxiv
Bugs → https://possumpat.io/c/bugmenagerie
Esports → https://possumpat.io/c/esports
Gundam → https://possumpat.io/c/gundam
Star Trek → https://possumpat.io/c/startrek
Xenoblade → https://possumpat.io/c/xenoblade
possumpat.io is the instance this community is hosted on. It’s a (bad) domain name joke😅
We’re set on moderators for now, though thanks for your interest.
