Why that's executive material!

From the artists Reddit thread:

Thank you! In Slavic tradition (it can be found in some Germanic and north Italian places too), the people would dress up as spirits to thwart the evil spirits, while also singing Christmas carols. This was originally a pagan tradition that got embedded in Christianity. They'd hold an avatar for the Sun, to signify that the Sun is returning, the days are getting longer. The tradition is generally called Koliada.

So, just people dressed up as spirits, looks sick though lmao

I definitely think the main developer publicly having those opinions is awful though. Projects have had drops in support for less.

To be clear, it's the fact that they run what many on the outside perceive to be "the flagship" instance. Had they run an instance in the same manner, but with their admin profiles and identities disconnected from their dev accounts...we wouldn't be here right now.

Then it would be easy to dismiss the Triad when advocating the Threadiverse to mainstream users as just "random instances that many others block", just like hex and grad

If you're right, it might be scary good, I'm not a car guy so I couldn't tell one manufacturers body from another like that.

But it makes sense for me as in everything I expect looks in place and proper. If they've finally figured out how to nail those details....

We're f'd lmao

We all need a little Sheila in us during these dark times

Oh no, a .ml'r accusing something of being "anti communist" when they take a stance against authoritarianism, how shocking lmao

The receipts on .ml

Screen blacks out frequently for some reason though lmao

Nah, background details make sense and the interior of the van makes sense

I think at worst it's just a good ol Photoshop

Oh cool, it almost looks like an alien plant lmao

who is so fervently anti-communist

Nope, Anti authoritarian as per the Wikipedia definition for Tankie:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tankie

Tankie is a pejorative label generally applied to authoritarian communists, especially those who support or defend acts of repression by such regimes, their allies, or deny the occurrence of the events thereof.

for the longest time they were taking anything posted to a .ml community vias rss feed and reposting it on .world/or other instances out of spite

Still ongoing, with reasoning supplied here:

they also churn through accounts, so people who block them get to re-block them on every new account they spin up

I had my unrelated reasons, as I've specified before, though trolling .ml for a lil while was a fun side effect I'll admit
