Regarding https://felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrification-of-video-game-history-dfe11f1e08ae
I haven't seen a GameBoy IRL until 2018. NES was a very viable gaming platform in my locality well into 00s, though a few lucky kids had a SEGA Genesis or (gasp) a PS1. Most kids indeed went to a "computer club"; having a local club and knowing its admin meant your game saves won't be erased between the times you visit the place - using floppies for backups wasn't always allowed due to endless viruses. Fun times. Strange times
mutual aid urgently needed
Hey, I'm a domestic abuse survivor who's slowly getting their life together.
I've gradually been finding better opportunities but sometimes things can still be a struggle for me, and I didn't have an easy time of my mental health in December so I'm currently set to not be able to afford rent (£400) in a few days.
Any help would be greatly appreciated:
someone just crossed the tracks on foot and holy shit the db security guys showed up immediately
I was gonna be like "yeah trains rule but in between you have to spend 20 minutes at Duisburg Hbf" but wow the roof not literally coming down is an improvement (also don't be mad at me I love Duisburg)
I get it from my family who seem to have an endless stream of coupons but y'know, Severance is great, watch it
Tusky localizations, help wanted
Tusky is (at least partly) translated into 63 languages 😳
Here is the list of all of them:

If you can improve one of the incomplete translations or even add a new one, we at #Tusky would be very happy for your help!
dansup being a shitty pixelfed admin.
After trying a few things from their side, my old instance admin tried to get in touch with dansup. Again no reply.
I was very clear in my messages to dansup that the full profile with posts, media, profile pic, bio, etc. of my old deleted account showing up on pixelfed search was a matter of personal safety for me.
Turns out that's not really a priority for dansup.

*Reasons:
1. Racist shits throwing slurs at me, calling me a reverse racist for posting about their empire's colonial bullshit, etc. (to be fair, my instance admin and mods were quick to take action every time).
2. My follower count getting way out of control for my liking; I think it hit 1400+ at one point, yikes.
3. Exposure to a lot more of the larger instances that were usually not well moderated. (2/2)
