[META] Survey Results (bookwormstory.social)
 

I've let the survey run for long enough now I suppose (at least I'm not getting any new responses) so I'm making this post with the "results". If anyone is interested in the raw data I'll post it but for now I'll just focus on the conclusion I've drawn from it.

For the most part responses only varied slightly but most of the questions were only there to help make a decision about the core question: What do you want to happen with this instance now?. The responses to which varied a lot compared to the other questions.

There were some votes against opening up the instance to other series discussions but I myself and the majority of votes are in favor so that's what will happen. However I really dislike seeing empty discussion threads so there will be some rules in place so this doesn't end up like a spam machine. As is with all things in life these are subject to change.

#1: There must be at least 3 users interested in regular discussions for a series to create a community for it here. There should be some regular volume of discussion for the series and 3 core users should facilitate that.

Note: If there already are discussion or fan art posts for a series on the Fediverse feel free to provide some of them to show that the newly created community would not just rot in a corner.

#2: If the series does not have weekly chapters there should be some form of plan for how to structure this so there is regular activity.

There is little sense in using a community only for volume discussions and nothing else those could just as well take place in [email protected]. As such there should at least be some discussion in between volumes (discussions about characters, fan art, whatever really)

Note: If the series does not release on J-Novel Club please be aware that @[email protected] will be unable to automatically create posts for it. In those cases threads need to be manually created every week.

If anyone is interested in a series and thinks they can meet these 2 rules please message me either here or via Matrix (@neshura:neshweb.chat) so we can discuss the details.

Additionally I'll post a list of links to any volume or chapter/part discussion threads to the weekly thread over at [email protected]. It's something I should have done with the PrePub discussions for Ascendance of a Bookworm as well but I didn't think of it until now.

Man I was just wondering where this thread was.

Lovely to see Akutsu get on her friends' nerves with her lovey-dovey behaviour, even more lovely to see them suffer through it and support her. Slightly related: 18+ Spinoff wen?

The author seemingly kicked the plot into gear recently, now my only complaint is that the chapters are too short and/or too infrequent. Which as far as problems with Manga go is a pretty good problem to have.

 

Got this little gem today so might as well share it with you all. I really like how they did her hair, that's some 10/10 work right there imo.

The longer this goes on the more I suspect the other fans (and maybe even idols) have secretely conspired to get those two married lol

Coming from the absolutely unexpected confession last episode this feels.. weird. I expected some form of friction to still be there but no it seems like both of their wants and desires line up quite well but on the other hand this outcome makes much more sense given how both of them have been portrayed so far. Marin doesn't even have a cosplay account so her prioritizing cosplay itself over the attention it gets her is nothing new really. Whereas with Gojo we're well past the point of knowing Hina dolls are no longer priority #1 in his life.

For all I care this can devolve into nothing more than diabetes inducing fluff without any of the supporting cast but I think we still have some more regular plot available with the semi-ongoing references to the "Mandate of Heaven" author positively reacting to Marin's cosplay of Haniel. Gut feeling say they'll do one final cosplay as a couple going completely all out and then we'll get a nice happy end. I'll be happy to be proven wrong if even more plot to follows though.

Difficult to say, Arm is a bit weird when you compare it to x64 CPU's because it does not have comlex instructions (by design) which means that for low intensity and 'simple' workloads an Arm CPU will be vastly more power efficient. However the more complicated the workload gets the more x64 has an advantage due to specialized instructions.

So for most users yes Arm will start being very competetive since the #1 metric there is battery life. However for datacenter, workstation and gaming usage Arm just cannot compete and very likely never will.

strictly speaking facts a society needs to reproduce somewhere close to replacement level or above in order to have some semblance of stability, what OP likely means is that they had kids A) because they wanted them and B) because they don't think most people make good parents. By having kids they contributed to the birth rate and therefore (hopefully) removed some unfit person's decision to become a parent because the birth rates are horrendous. Also having kids when you can likely manage to actually raise them properly results in a lower ratio of spoiled brats in the population down the line, idiocracy sadly was very on point with the movies observation about reproduction behaviour among different education levels.

As much as I currently prefer AMD processors over Intel I would hate to see them go. Without serious competition AMD will just do the exact same thing Intel did before Ryzen dropped. The problem I see now is that if Intel gets into a situation as horrible as AMD was in there are not as many revolutionary concepts out there anymore that would get them out of that hole.

Before I get into this I apologize for giving you all a heart attack. Actually no, I know what I am doing with that title, suffer!

Unfortunately the main story of Ascendance of a Bookworm released its last Pre-Pub chapter last week and with it a stop to the very regular weekly discussion threads. Obviously we will have Side Stories to look forward to, however those won't provide nearly the same regularity as the main story did.

Up until now the Pre-Pub threads have been the main driver behind activity on the instance and the closure of the story then opens the question of what will happen to this place going forward. First of all this instance will likely not be disappearing. I have my only active lemmy account on here and since I have 0 real hosting costs I have no problem keeping this going indefinitely, I also think it might be an opportunity to change things up a bit. However first and foremost this is a place for you all, not for me alone, so your opinion about what should or should not happen to this instance weigh a bit more than my own. As such I (with input from ludrol, btw thanks for always being there for me to push decisions onto) have compiled a survey about that topic. Do feel free to leave your thoughts in the comments as well though.

With that out of the way I'd like to express a sincere thanks for all the fun discussions we've had here so far, I genuinely enjoyed every moment of them and look forward to more of them.

Trivia for anyone interested: they announced German licensing for Spice and Wolf as well as my Quiet Life as a Blacksmith (1st Parts alrewdy available)

 

Check the modlog for proof, a discussion post about moving this instance to an instance that shan't be named now got removed for "linking to instance featuring pedo content".

Ironically that exact possibility was reason for the discussion in the first place so seeing it happen this quickly is a bit funny.

Not sure how best to go about linking to said instance since it seems to get your content removed. DM's would be the only solution I guess but not sure if those are checked as well.

 

The initial hiccups with Federation seem to be resolved with 0.19.1-rc.1. Since I also managed to test the new Version of the Mestionora Bot (it should now actually post Part 2 and Part 3 Manga discussions in parallel instead of only Part 3, hooray) I will update the instance after PrePub discussions die down a bit.

Expected Timeframe is Wednesday 16:00 UTC - Wednesday 18:00 UTC.

During the Update changes to the expected downtime can be checked on status.bookwormstory.social.

If anyone has any questions please feel free to ask away.
