This is starting to get embarrassing for Checo. I thought people were exaggerating how precarious his position was but if he keeps performing like this RB might actually be forced to take action.

Imagine if RB had an actual competitor, Checo couldn't support Max at the front at all if he keeps going like this.

Waiting the whole season for Max to make a single mistake and when it finally happens it's in a Q1 that doesn't matter

Tiger works on Swordfish at start-of-battle which kills itself so it can work on Snake behind the Jellyfish, and then both Snake and Tiger jump behind the Mushroom-Trex to work a third time.

It's a clusterfuck really, but yeah the lead writer, designer and artist were all fired and lost the rights to the IP. Litigation is still ongoing I think, and hopefully Kurvitz, Hindpere and Rostov can regain the right to at least produce more work in the IP in the future. Heartbreaking for Kurvitz especially since he's built the IP with and for his friends from the age of 15.

It's run through the Open Collective, and is also run by Ruud who runs one of the larger Mastodon instances as well as some other stuff on the Fediverse I believe. They're a fairly trusted actor in the space and I think pretty transparent with everything they do which is probably another reason many people flocked there.

Sure thing, here you go.

I will add that Pimp Daddy was most likely awarded for his role as a general moderator of NSFW subs during Reddits early days and not specifically for creating r/Jailbait, but violentacrez was controversial in more ways than just creating that sub and he got the award all the same so it's still not a fantastic look.

Not a bad idea. Might need assistance vetting servers and admins right now though as Ruud is probably busy taking a fire extinguisher to the server room every other minute.

[-] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

You are correct about that, but Spez also created a custom unique Pimp Hat award for the top mod of r/jailbait so I don't think he necessarily hated the situation.

I think another reason too is that .world is run by Ruud who is a trusted actor in the space (he already runs Mastodon.world, a large mastodon instance), and so many (including me) probably felt it would be a safe harbor and not likely to get shut down or run poorly.

That's correct though account migration is planned for some point in the future, or at least noted as a desirable feature by the Devs. Maybe even linking accounts across instances?

Having to resubscribe to all your communities is annoying but I imagine third party apps could streamline that process when they get released/refined.

Yeah this is one hell of a stress test. Hopefully some wealthy ex-redditors can spend what they used to put into Reddit gold towards donations to the Open Collective instead so they can expand the servers to keep up.

The absolute horror.

This was by far the best on-track product of the season so far. Yes, Max winning by 20+ seconds sucks, but apart from that this had everything. Lots of great battles, plenty of overtakes, drama, tension and even a crucial strategy call. And the camera work wasn't even terrible!

Gutted for Albon, but at least Hulk managed to capture some points from a great performance. Too bad the Haas burns tires like a chainsmoker. Also a little curious about the Aston strategy. I guess it's not hugely important this season, but given the potential for Alonso to fight for P2 in the drivers championship, you'd have thought they'd want to prioritize giving him maximum points possible. This is the second time this season where they let Lance stay ahead if he gets ahead, regardless of pace. To be fair to Lance, though, he was great today and showed that he can hang when he's on it. He had a great start and was solid throughout. Once again underrated in the wet.
