fedi, "couch protests", etc.@pixel This "_ is good, but if they ever make even the slightest bad thing they're tainted forever" view is a plague.
But also, regarding CW and alt text, I would put the blame on the platform design. I ranted about it many times before: the way Twitter-likes work is that scope for your posts is never clear. Your post may be casual and primarily intended for your local corner, but then it somehow reaches people you've never seen before who can't handle un-CWed food. They're annoyed at you for misbehaving according to their corner's social rules, and you're annoyed at them because it feels like a stranger intruding into a scope they weren't supposed to be included in. But the platforms don't have anything to technically enforce these sort of scopes, all we get is public, kinda public, followers-only and DM. That's not enough for a lot of interactions taking place, and that's the underlying issue behind a lot of conflicts on here.
My project plans always turn out to be way too grand
I'm already thinking about how to extend the bot with multiple map types, all based on the same entity placement algorithm. I already rewrote part of it which makes maintaining map types super easy.
So, my bot won't just be a "Neon City Bot" but more like a "Vector Scenery Bot"
@sam I recently got an upgrade to 16gb for work. Running Docker, Firefox, MS Teams and 4 windows of VSCode simultaneously isn't a problem anymore, so that's plenty for me.
