If you saw it moving, that means it wasn't an Angel. They literally don't exist when observed.

Only if you leave your mic unmuted.
This is a troubling advancement, they all are, but the methods of countering this specific one are plentiful.
Really, what's needed is a more robust mute function with a good voice recognition system that automatically cuts off the mic when you're not speaking. That, and people need to learn to use push to talk.
I've been saying it for years: were currently going through a soft reboot of the Post-Civil War/Reconstruction era. There are an incredible number of parallels.
And that's why it's dead. Because what constitutes "low effort" is a discussion to be had, but that place is just the owner's backyard where they kick out anything or anyone they don't like.
The ethos of the fediverse (insofar as it's completely free with no ads) won't be sustainable at scale; income for continued development and support does need to be taken into account at some point, and that goes for servers, frontends, apps, etc. Funding from donations only gets you so far. We will have to talk about it some day.
However, it is entirely too soon for ads and subscriptions. This feels openly and brazenly like talking advantage of Sync overly enthusiastic fanclub and the Sync name recognition. Get in early with a big name and start making money before any other big name apps like Boost are released.
This is also the dev that got really hurt over his paying customers not liking when he completely changed the app they paid for under their nose with no option to roll back, and quit pushing updates for a while after that. It was a whole thing.
I'm not paying a dev that can't handle feedback and has an entire fanclub cheering on literally every single decision.
How is it "in the works"? It's not hard to implement, seeing as how he already did it.
And no timeline when it's coming just a promise it will?
Sounds more like he just wants to test the waters and see what he can make.
Liftoff is open source with no ads.
Sync requires a subscription.
Btw in case anyone wants to smile, Newgrounds.com is still kicking. Same owner, same purpose, still no ads.
It's kind of beautiful. I feel the need to protect it in this current internet hellscape. Like some rare specimen of near extinct species, this one must survive
I'll be real with you:
The ideal of college you believed you would experience is only for the extroverts. If you didn't make the effort to go out and meet people and do things, it's likely you'll just be going to class for 4 years.
A lot of kids think when they go to college, a social life just happens, naturally, by proximity. No, college is an excellent time, maybe the easiest time, to really socialize. But you still have to do get out of your dorm. They're not coming inside to take you away.
TVTome was my very first. Such a fun site. Basically a proto-wikia from the early 2000s. You managed a page for individual TV shows and filled it with info, and every show had it's own forum attached, that you moderated.

And then, as a sign of things to come over the next 20 years, the onwer of that site sold it off, along with all the community created works, and the community forums that went with them, to some trash company whose name I can't even remember anymore, and it doesn't matter because they probably got bought at some point too.
TVTome became TV.com, over the massive protests of its community. And it went to shit immediately.
Now tv.com is...shit, it isn't even around anymore? Wikipedia and Wikia destroyed that niche, and then Fandom enshitifed Wikia.

So this was before cell phones, and I'll bet the landlines got knocked out by the quake, so yeah, in the immediate aftermath, you'd have no idea if your family was ok until you raced home to check on them. Makes perfect sense they wouldn't stop to take the shit off first.
