Well, there's a 1st level spell that triples jump distance, so I figured it'd be fair. I could just make it double I suppose.

Yeah, happening to me too. I think some of the comments are showing in reverse order, too, like the child before the parent.

Sure, but having fewer accounts is easier: that's the whole purpose of federation in the first place, isn't it?

It's fine now, but I haven't been on Lemmy for that long, and I don't want to have to make a new account every few months to see a new instance.

Sure, I'm aware of idiots on the internet, but if we tried to avoid idiots on the site we wouldn't federate with anyone. Lemmy.world is specifically billed as a "generic Lemmy server for everyone to use," I want the gates to be open fairly wide, that's why I'm here. Not for everyone, like I'm glad we defederated with exploding heads, but we still gave them a shot first and there was at least some more community discussion on it before that decision was made. That's what would make me feel a lot better about this.

I'm not really seeing it to be honest. That first bullet point there seems pretty clearly saying to their users to not be a problem so that they don't get defederated.

I'm sure you can find someone calling to brigade such and such on there somewhere but they have over 20 thousand users total. That's a lot of people to rule out.

Well yeah, I already said I know that's the go-to if you don't like one instance. But I'd still like to be able to express my opinions before doing that. It's not that big a deal but I'd still ideally rather not, y'know?

That first bullet is saying "don't do stuff that's going to get us defederated" to their users, no? It's a bit tongue in cheek but I feel like it's not as aggressive as some people are describing. The whole server came from a subreddit that was very memey/shitpost.

Well the server is described up at the top as a "generic Lemmy server for everyone to use," which feels like it's setting up to be a pretty neutral stance.

The thing is that kind of example assumes that it is cancer. Which is something I'm not happy assuming yet, especially without discussion.

Hexbear has over 20k users. I find it hard to believe they're all Russian trolls, or even that most of them are.

I'm gonna come out and say, even with the statement, I'm not in favor of preemptive defederation like this.

I know the admins of an instance are hosting us basically out of the goodness of their own hearts, and I appreciate that. And I understand they can do whatever they want, and we can move to a different instance if we want. I get it.

But I joined .world because I wanted a neutral instance that would connect with pretty much everyone unless they were particularly problematic. Could hexbear be particularly problematic? Sure, maybe. But I think there's a big difference between defederating in response to a problem and defederating in anticipation of a potential problem, especially since the users aren't given a chance to discuss it. Like, I know we're not technically entitled to give our input if we're not admins, but I think it would be nice, y'know?

If it was just some small instance of trolls that's one thing, but hexbear is actually quite a big instance, so this is a very impactful decision. I don't like it being made preemptively behind the scenes like this.

I thought the characters were all pretty likeable for the most part, but I agree it was just "okay" the whole way through, so there wasn't much to fumble.

Sure, but that's by Asgardian standards. He's also supposed to be a villain who took on the Avengers. Sure he didn't beat them and he's probably reeling from that a bit, but you'd think he'd be a bit more competent still overall.

This is a great take! It's very close to what I was getting at, yeah.

I think Loki being good now was rushed, but isn't entirely unbelievable given that Loki does tend to turn good every so often anyway. But even if he does decide to be the good guy for a bit, he's still Loki — like you said, we're expecting "trademark grandiosity, sick fight scenes, and surprise turnarounds," and we didn't really get that, I totally agree.

One of the scenes that frustrated me in the show was when Loki got kicked off the train on Lamentis. First of all you'd think he'd be way too powerful to lose to train security, even drunk, but you can handwave the power levels for whatever reason; more importantly, it just felt like a dumb move so the plot could happen. I thought he might have some kind of plan behind what he was doing, but it seemed like he didn't, unless I missed a reveal somewhere?

Honestly which ones didn't? Hawkeye?

I liked it overall but thought the ending was fairly meh; it didn't feel satisfying to me. Though I've been disappointed with almost all the finales of the Disney+ Marvel shows, even of the shows I mostly liked overall. It wasn't really about too much exposition, just that I didn't feel like it really wrapped up the season properly. I'm getting a bit tired of every show ending in a way that teases what comes next instead of just giving that story a proper conclusion.

Really what I was hoping for was for Loki to pull off some kind of satisfying plan after feeling pretty out of his depth the whole season. I get that's sort of the theme of the show, that the TVA and Kang situations are above even Thanos and Asgardians, but he's still a thousand-year-old trickster god whose whole thing is schemes. There were a few times I expected him to have something more going on, but the payoff never really happened. But I digress a bit. I'm still looking forward to season 2; Tom Hiddleston is fun to watch.

Since they'll be in draft packs they should bring the price down a good amount. Ragavan dropped like $30 after getting reprinted in MUL. I mean he's still pretty expensive, but it's something.

Plus, Doubling Season is also getting the CMM reprint, so that should help too. I'm gonna say it'll drop to, hmm, about $45. Hopefully less but that's my conservative estimate.

Another Doubling Season reprint!! Could it actually be affordable now?

It's a White Craterhoof!! My [[Sidar Jabari of Zhalfir]] deck is salivating!

Yeah it looks like the price leaped up to 60 bucks right when Shelob was spoiled, then settled down a bit, especially with the reprint announced. Shelob single-handedly makes Spiders a good type, so that makes sense.

No reason? McConnell works to make the lives of thousands of people worse, on purpose. The world would be better if he wasn't in it. Seems like enough reason to me.
