I cannot stand Forgotten Realms. Never liked it going all the way back to 2nd edition.

Greyhawk was a MUCH better setting, with a more cohesive vision and CERTAINLY a much more interesting cosmology

Forgotten Realms is a hodge-podge of 20 settings glued together with zero appreciation for thematic crossover that has been revamped and rebooted so many times that substantial class mechanic differences DEPEND ON WHAT ERA YOU ARE PLAYING IN! That is fucking INSANE

Greyhawk presented an eternal timelessness where you could drop in on any era without having to read 5+ years of errata notes on why they renamed the negative energy plane and whether or not you are allowed to cast anything above 3rd level

The Great Wheel was, is, and will ALWAYS be the most fertile and relatable cosmology that has ever existed in a d20 setting and they changed it purely for CHANGE'S SAKE!

TL;DR: Fuck Forgotten Realms, LONG LIVE GREYHAWK!

Apologies for the handful of pixels, Standard Def was terrible but that's all we had

Shitstain Steinbot UniversalMonk forum slider constantly stirring shit on reddit for a decade comes here and THEY FUCKING remove MY POSTS?!

Same fucking disease that ruined reddit is here, activist mods with ulterior motives protecting their rule breaking friends.

Fuck every single mod in that sub into a coma with barbed wire wrapped bundle of red hot industrial grade rebar.

So I just had a mod out a harassment report I had made to the very people that have been harassing me, connect it with my username, and be dismissively mocking about it.

This is absolutely the kind of reddit behavior I left there to avoid.

Of course all of you will tell me "But itsn't against any rules", and I counter: It creates a hostile environment which is explicitly against the rules.

I've searched and scoured and the only thing I've found is to post to this community. That feels strange as this isn't a technical issue.

Is there anything to be done about this or do I just leave Lemmy too?

There is such a taboo against calling out propagandists and intellectually dishonest posters. EVERY FUCKING MOD WILL ARGUE FOR THE FUCKING BOT'S POSITION.

EVERY FUCKING TIME!

Mod: Well, how do you know they are forum manipulators?

Me: Because they are using commonly used forum manipulation techniques A, C, and F, constantly change their personality and positions to maximally affect the thread they are currently in, and only ever post on politically charged topics despite 99.9% of Lemmy's userbase also participating in non-political communities normally, and uses syntax structure and word choices that align with 80% of confirmed Putinbots.

Mod: That's not enough, I'm silencing you for 3 days for harassment.

FUCK EVERY SHITSTAIN MOD THAT HAS LET LEMMY GET THIS BAD IN SUCH A SHORT TIMW!

FUCK EVERY FORUM MANIPULATOR ACTIVELY WORKING TO RATCHET THIS ENTIRE PLANET TOWARDS NEOFASCISM!

Her name is Hermaevs and SHE'S FUCKING IMMACULATE!

https://www.youtube.com/@Hermaevs

She's been making SL1 Souls runs for years no with BARELY ANY traction.

Let me unpack this:

What she does for fun is beat bosses naked at 1st level, usually with just a stick, taking no damage.

It is FUCKING MAJESTIC to watch her pick apart HUGE FLAILING bosses like a meticulous kid takes apart their lego sets.

She's cute, NOT a boobtuber, truly has a deep passion for all Souls games AND YOU NEED TO GO FUCKING WATCH HER RIGHT NOW!!

SHE NO HIT CONSORT RADAN NAKED RL1!!!! DIDN'T EVEN LET HIM BREATHE!!

So me and my niece are part of an outgroup that is currently being targeted by the hard right, and my sister and I both legitimately fear for the safety of our family.

With the news Biden is dropping out, we are leaving the country.

To be clear: I LIKE Harris, I will be voting for Harris and whoever else is on the blue side of the ballot. But after that we are all getting on a plane because I think regardless of who wins this election, this country will go full concentration-camp fascist within 4 years.

The apathy that I see in my fellow citizens about all of the horrific things surrounding that fucking orange abomination tells me this country WANTS fascism and this time the GOP picked a narcissistic idiot, then next time they won't make that mistake.

So we're packing most of our stuff and shipping it off tomorrow to relatives, voting early, and staying in a sane country for at least a few years.

I hate that I have to do this, I hate that it is even a conceivable issue but some trumpfucker at a protest broke my nieces hand because of who she is and I don't think it's safe to be in a place where that becomes normalized.

The world didn't used to be like this. A busninesses reputation was built on how it treated its customers, and Americans demanded and got quality products and services at a price normal people could afford.

Now every FUCKDAMN restaurant wants a 30% tip, and now I'm getting PRESSURED TO TIP THE CASHIER AT A GAS STATION?!

Look I get it, times are tough and those people deserve more BUT IT SHOULD COME FROM THE VAST UNCHECKED PROFITS OF THE COMPANY THAT THEY ALLOW TO EXIST!

But NooOOoow we've NORMALIZED customer abuse and dark patterns, we just 'oh gee damn' extra fees and not owning anything.

WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO LET US LIE BACK AND TAKE THIS?!

IDGAF if you are doing it to be funny, ALMOST NONE of you have had to deal with as many YEARS of boomer bullshit as I have.

THEY FUCKING CANCELED DND FOR ME! NONE OF YOU WILL KNOW THAT PAIN.

My parents were boomers, all their friends were boomers, I had to sit and watch as they pulled the ladder up.

I have never been financially stable and I did everything those BOOMER FUCKS told me to do: Study hard, get a degree, look em in the eye and firm handshake your way into a 2 car garage and a family of five, work at the same job every day and give your all to the company and they will take care of you.

LIES! LIES LIES! LIES! LIES!!!

Those of you fucking lucky enough to be raised by GenX, you have NO CLUE what it was like to live under a boomer's roof.

Now of course a ton of you are going to come in this thread and call me a boomer because the internet is filled with smelly children with sticky fingers that can't help but prod people where they suffer and I WILL BAN EVERY MOTHERFUCKING LAST ONE OF YOU and CACKLE as I do. Like a good old classic witch's cackle. I might even put on my hat.

Every fucking one of you is leech scum taking people's hard earned meager wealth.

Getting your fucking house for free, sitting on your ass drinking box wine all day as your tenants keep calling to get their shit fixed.

I hate you all so very, very much and cannot FUCKING WAIT to eat the rich.

Yeah, you, the lemming that came to laugh at the angry guy. Post something. FUCK it PISSES ME OFF TO NO END that 90% of the people who use the internet DO IT PASSIVELY.

LITERALLY THE FUCKING GREATEST TOOL FOR HUMAN COMMUNICATION AND MOST OF YOU TREAT IT LIKE TV WITH A VOTE BUTTON.

I SEE the metrics of people visiting, I SEE the lack of replies, I SEE THE ABSOLUTE BIGORY DOWNVOTE HATEFEST but almost none of you even try to engage.

Makes me sick. We wouldn't be in the modern shit age of the internet of even 20% of you just tried actually engaging with other people with more than a meme or a copypasta.

FUCKING POST YOU IDIOT

Literally none of you really understand what you are mocking, and 95% of your 'knowledge' comes from memes and corporate news.

It is impossible to have a decent discussion with any of you, and I have been trying for YEARS.

Every circumstance is filled with 'gotcha' intellectual dishonesty parroted from whatever spike haired edgelad streamer you watched this week with ZERO of your own ideas in the mix.

HOW the FUCK can you hold a position that you can't even defend without devolving into strawmanning and meme repetition? It staggers me how casually all of you just slip into this comforting ignorance that is immune to any discourse.

To be clear, I am NOT a conservative evangelical and I probably hate them more than you do, but none of you will care because ALL theists are the same to you as those 'God hates fags' protesters.

Oh I fucking hate every one of you but I still hate conservative evangelicals worse.

At least most of you edgelad ratheists aren't trying to bring fascism to American.
