AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 10/09/2026... Skizz doesn't do daily affirmations, though? Are you thinking if the affirmations he did for his servermates during Limited Life? Those weren't daily and aren't ongoing. Like, he doesn't even stream daily, how would he be doing daily affirmations? Are you confusing him with someone else? 200
AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I agree on it being ridiculous, but disagree on why. I'm trying to clarify stuff because there seems to be a lot of misinformation about why people are upset, and even just that is exhausting. 100
AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Never said me specifically. There's a saying that if you don't kick Nazis out of your bar, it becomes a Nazi bar. That's what people are afraid of happening with Skizz's community. From some of the comments his "defenders" have made, I see why. People are saying some vile shit. 110
AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/09/2026I'm not under twenty. I have gray hairs and remember dial-up internet. I still think people have a point and that dismissing them solves nothing and arguably makes it worse. If you think Skizz would be okay with accidentally hurting people & won't want to improve, you think less of him than I do. 110
AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/09/2026It's not. The thing with his mods, which continues to be controversial (it's what sparked this newest controversy) was about how his lack of action against bigots makes his community less safe for minorities. It sucks when the hermit with arguably the best rep is okay with people who want you dead. 100

AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/09/2026This isn't just about his humor. This is about several comments he's made over the past couple years, and I can't fit it in one post.

AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 04/09/2026And what about the things he *did* say and the people who were hurt? I know if I made the mistakes people have pointed out Skizz making, I would want my friends to tell me what I was doing wrong, not have them sweep it under the rug so I keep hurting people without meaning to. 140

AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 05/08/2026That is a really weird nitpick. Not only is the brush easy to draw, so it wouldn't take much time on the timelapse anyway, but drawing programs allow you to have a library of resources if there's an item/texture/etc that you use a lot.

AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 30/03/2026Factually wrong. I used to volunteer at a shelter, and a lot of the pit bulls there were the sweetest dogs ever. Because of their breed, they often stayed at the shelter a lot longer until they were adopted, and ended up being well-trained by the staff. 100
AutomaticData @automaticdata.bsky.social · 30/03/2026I volunteered in a shelter. The staff put the dogs through tests to see if they'd be safe around kids, like pulling the dog's tail.
