RE: Money, Drugs, Guns: The Things I Look For In A Woman
It is much the same as me. I like to write funny things but I don't necessarily tag them as funny because it's like stating something in advance. I like people to find the things I write funny not say, hey, this is funny!
I think communities are indeed the way forward but a part of me wonders where to put myself or whether I should put myself anywhere.
It seems a little divisive at the moment. I don't want to pigeonhole myself.
Gaaaaaaargh. That's the trouble with being a maverick!
Edit, and what the fuck is this cross posting shit? It's it really just reposting old stuff into a community and getting votes again for it? Surely not, that will be abused to fuck??
I've used the 'funny' tag to basically say, "Do not take this seriously." I'm not saying it's funny. It's there so if someone comes along to misinterpret a joke and get all angry, I can show them their mistake, and then hopefully they calm down.
It is divisive, especially now since the entire community is small. Shooting for an even smaller community is probably not good for business at this point.
I had a feeling, of all the people here, you, would totally understand where I'm coming from here. I've been thinking about how you do things as well. We're in the same... canoe. Paddling upstream for fuck sakes...
Haha, yeah. When I was reading your post I was thinking this is exactly how I am feeling about everything.
I like tags. You can have a few of them. It would be crass to pay in multiple communities though. Yeek
I fucking hate paddling upstream.
I see your edit now about cross posting. I've been leaving a few thoughts on that here and around the platform. It's a new toy people will have to figure out and it could be good so I hope those using it now don't ruin for everyone by being irresponsible with it. I don't really have much of a use for it, at this point, and don't really want to annoy my followers with simple one sentence and a link posts. It might turn into resteems. Too much of that, and I'm hitting the off switch. It would be nice if we had a section within our profiles where we can keep a stream of our favorite posts, and others could peek inside. I've suggested that for years though.
Yeah, am ability to customise your own blog profile with favourites and/or even a randomised selection of a group you have marked as favourite. So much opportunity to market ourselves!
Well, if it existed. Lol
It would be great if those doing the work behind the scenes would come to people like us, and ask us what we need. I'm not complaining though. I like to see progress. I'm willing to help as well though. I'm not an idiot.
Yeah, I would love to help, both in general User Experience ideas and the testing of things when they are done. The testing however seems to require the knowledge of a developer which, given my background in testing is all wrong.
But hey ho, I dont like to complain too much, I am a little annoyed at the lack of Feed on mobile though. Wish they would fix it.
You never know, change might come more quickly now as a result of all the shenanigans lately!
Maybe you're right. Maybe we'll see rapid changes. If we don't, people are going to be pissed, since nearly everyone holding on to hope, is expecting that new money to actually do something.
They have been overextending the goodwill. I am more than willing to give them/him a chance unlike some of the trimmings I have seen. We will see we will see!
