There was a mix actually, a lot of users would say they weren't furries. I can't guess the proportion

To me, the fact that r/zootopia was the biggest Disney movie subreddit and never stopped growing is entirely due to it having an umbilical cord to the furry fandom. You can also say that the Zootopia fandom was a good place for normies that were too straight to be furries, and you can say that the Zootopia fandom was step 1 of the pipeline that leads to owning a fursuit and a canine butt plug. All three were probably true.

I just realized i typed this whole comment in past tense, but uh, the Zootopia fandom still exists. And r/zootopia still exists. I don't know i don't have object permanence

Oh this doesn't even change the system. United will have a new CEO and be back to business.

This doesn't change anything and, honestly, i wouldn't even bet on there being a lot of copycat murders, if any. I just like the simple joy of watching someone live out one of my fantasies

They produce psilocybin because Satan told them to

There was a dedicated Zootopia porn subreddit, and it was bigger than the SFW one.

Genuinely once or twice in 8 years. People knew the rules.

But the rules around NSFW content were a point of contention, i placed the bar a lot lower than most people in the community would have it. To the point that there was huge controversy a couple times, and i realized that they saw me more as a cop than a janitor. People really wanted to see rabbit hole

I am fascinated by you. Please tell me you've written a book or long thread?

Also please don't get Covid

So this means you hear your thoughts as if they were on speaker, right? I don't, which is a form of aphantasia, which i also have.

I this is why i mumble to myself all the time, my brain has no speakers

I've actively moderated the Zootopia subreddit almost since its inception. We did a lot of cool stuff but, uh, moderating a subreddit is not the kind of thing you brag about. Anyway, i quit this year.

Also i have every single r/place-related medal because i helped organize artworks. That's not any better is it?

Yeah, i ruled out Wine as an option pretty early on and i don't remember why. May have been compatibility issues?

I have cheap audio interfaces (C600, Alesis IO2, M-Audio FastTrack Pro and such), and apparently they're supposed to be natively compatible with Linux. Huge if true, on Windows i had to install drivers for each of them, including a community-built one. I don't know what this means for pro interfaces but it's encouraging

Where are you on that process? I do 2D visuals and i'm at the point where all software that i use is available on Linux, but i have yet to actually try it in practice

I've been the main moderator of the same community since 2016. This evening, i approved my last comment.

I'm leaving for two reasons:

  1. Reddit went public a week ago. I didn’t volunteer to work for a publicly traded company, i volunteered to work for a community. As long as i live under capitalism i accept that my labor will generate value for shareholders, but damned if i ever do it for free. (this is not a Faulkner quote)

  2. April 1st is coming and i'm scared they might do another r/place. Doing in r/place 2022 and 2023 has left me dejected and bitter and i don't want to feel obligated to participate again.

Leaving felt like ripping myself off of something warm i've been comfortably glued to for a long time. Still recommend it for anyone still giving Reddit shareholders free labor


EDIT: there are too many comments to respond to, but i've appreciated all of them! Thank you

Whenever a forum dies, a lot of answered questions are lost that would have been useful to people googling it in the future.

Reddit is like the mother of all forums, and it also has had a lot of internet history being made on it.

I really think we need a Reddit archive that is availabel for random people from Google. The best case scenario is that Reddit just limps on for years, therefore doing this conservation work better than anyone else could.

Almost always my movies even though i have tons of music, and always the most obscure shit. I have Disney movies and Breaking Bad, but people go for the auteur french sci-fi animated features.

Soulseek gives me much the same joy of sharing as torrent does, perhaps more so because it's one-on-one with a username instead of an IP.

It's very easy to contribute to Soulseek as opposed to torrent, you just mark your shared folders. I think there's probably more content as a result, at the cost of the inefficiency of multiple people offering the same thing. Which i'm not sure matters.

I don't know if the rooms are really worth it. You only get the messages starting when you logged in, so you can't catch up to what happened before; this problem is particularly relevant because most rooms are dead; those that aren't dead consist of a lot of vicious arguments; and it's live chat anyway, never my favorite format for discussion.

I prefer Soulseek to eMule just because it works, but i also found it simpler.

Unfortunately my VPN doesn't play well with Soulseek, apparently it doesn't support port forwarding? I'm not sure how to fix this. It may in fact have been a problem when torrenting too the whole time and i didn't notice.

Overall i really enjoy Soulseek and will probably always have it in the background, it's pretty great!

According to Wikipedia, the lastest version of eMule was released in 2010, but "official forum users" developed an updated version as of 2017.

Is this information up to date? Is that still true? I'd feel a lot better installing something on my computer that was last updated at least in this decade, which version of eMule should i pick, if any?
