This has been a persistent regular thing in every subcultural circle I've ever been in and especially furry, and especially online. I sometimes worry folks have internalized social media to the extent they believe mob violence is the only valid communication style, it's frustrating as heck.

Ok. I finally had time to beat Control Resonant. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but I feel the same as I did after the first game. I am so glad people are still making art like this. I am glad people are still making video games that make me feel this way. What a masterpiece.

side note, seeing the other voices here: it feels as if there are few places CMs can go to talk shop or share the struggles that won't also have a reputational impact!

stay: i feel like i get to experiment a lot, get a lot of say over messaging, and get to be at the epicenter of something that feels special + the community is extremely passionate/talented it takes an IMMENSE amount of effort to not fall into burnout, though!

Anyway, if you find this happening to you more often than not (believing wrong things from headlines, hateposting, etc) then you need to rethink your epistemological standards and probably engage in cardio or something i don't know i can't be your camp counselor

I'm not saying you shouldn't be upset at things in the world! You should! Shit sucks! But if you're a throbbing nerve screaming at headlines or losing your ability to see the humanity in others, you're just willfully engaging in digital self harm in an attempt to belong.

If you are constantly angry all the time on the internet, you're an easy mark. Not only are you an easy mark, but you don't even have to be targeted! People can just throw a handful of vague trigger words in your direction and all of a sudden you'll turn into a terminator and start rage posting

Most of the comments here assume Discord was breached. They were not! At all! It has virtually nothing to do with them! The headline does not help! When people in the comments are told this, they are folding their arms and saying some variant of "ok bootlicker"

deeply infuriating that it's nearly impossible to build housing due to all kinds of stupid ordinances and zoning and nimby shit, yet you can construct a giant imposing structure complete with industrial generators next to grandma's house

I didn't start running until I was like 34 or 35! Feeling this way was a big motivator, though. I once read that you don't start "getting in shape" to "feel better," so much as you do to pause the clock. If you start in your 30s, you basically will make your 40s feel like 30s, and so on

afaik (not a lawyer) most copyright is played out under the dmca i guess if a few lawsuits play out and determine ownership for generated material, you could be the change you want to see

the "misleading thumbnail" thing predates generate AI, so there you go. it's just a much large issue now.

strasz @strasz.bsky.social · 07/10/2026
quoting for reach this did come up internally -- and is true... sort of! the thing is, we couldn't think of a single example of a thumbnail being generated that *wasn't* misleading. we could, however, think of non-generated thumbnails that *were* misleading

regardless of my personal thoughts, if this was that cut and dry, we'd have a lot fewer words in that post per the graphic, people define "AI" at different levels, are worried about it in different ways, and so on i imagine most don't want slop! but people love some worlds that use ai tools

noted -- we were very heads-down on this and really didn't want to "over promise" a response, which is why we were silent, but we've seen how people took the silence this time

that's why we have the 6 weeks timeline in there, discoverability is hard to measure without someone to look back at you when you start turning the knob

Thinking a lot about this segment from a panel with Octo Octa and Eris Drew from 2025 explaining "the clubber timestream" She's talking in reference to IRL music and club spaces in this clip but I feel this train of thought can be applied to most creative spaces or communities.
