The stream is over! It was a long one tonight as we finished Symphony of the Night with relative ease. Some items were just a bit hard to find, but we got great early drops. Magna will be back on Sunday with a surprise game. We sent the love to YujisDen who's playing Fortnite.

Find him at https://www.twitch.tv/yujisden

Help us reach our ongoing follower goal on Twitch. When we get to 200 followers we'll stream Comix Zone, a Sega Genesis game no one on staff has ever beaten. Consider doing it for us and for this poodle-mix. Trust us, she also cares about this goal.

We're live and playing Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The twist? It's a randomizer. Come and hang out with us!

@BeAware @wjmaggos Hmmm. Maybe someone at Threads realized it was a bad look? 😆

We've never used anything but Mastodon, but we've seen quote posts on other services. Comes out a bit weird looking if you follow from Mastodon though.

Same. Best we can do is push back on it, the best we can. No matter what the tool looks like, unscrupulous people will try to see what they can get away with.

We'll see when it comes out. We're still waiting on quote toots.

@BeAware @wjmaggos Feels like people have been asking for quote posts for a while. Asking for limits seems newer. But one (and maybe it's just us) can hope that Threads doesn't federate. Didn't they block a bunch of instances on Mastodon including .social?

On Misskey, do quote posts will work if someone makes a followers only post? Or is that just for public and unlisted posts?

And understandable! We just wanted to also get our own thoughts out there for a feature we wouldn't use ourselves. 😅

DC Live: Castlevania: Symphony of the Night randomizer livestream tonight at 8 ET
I expect to hear Alucard saying "What?" quite a lot this time.

@BeAware @wjmaggos Quote reply, where you link to their post and call it out. Screenshot their post to do the same, etc. You don't always have to directly reply to a person to call them out if they're spreading misinformation. Now that is more so warning others about that person.

If you want to correct that person directly, provided they're not acting in total bad faith, you should still be able to @ or message them.

Just tossing out some suggestions.

@wjmaggos @BeAware Quotes are not available on Mastodon, but they are available on other Fedi platforms. People on Mastodon can just link to a post's URL and reply above it effectively making it a quote post.

Completely quashing abuse is difficult when everything is so decentralized for better or worse.

But sometimes people just want to say their piece without having to entertain a bunch of replies or bad faith actors. Gonna have to agree to disagree on wanting everything to go viral.

@wjmaggos @BeAware Hard disagree with this. Way too many people (especially black people) have been driven off the Fediverse by abusive reply guys. They harass just enough to fly under admin action. Or those abusive replies don't get seen because of private replies.

Other times you just want to say your piece without having to entertain everyone who demands a reply or making a followers only post. Besides, it's not like people on the Fediverse don't have other ways to call out disinformation.

The stream is over! We knocked out a few follower quests, and ended the night fighting Magnamalo. Our own Magna didn't appreciate watching him go down. But he'll be on tomorrow to play a Symphony of the Night randomizer. We sent the love to @grimlockfly who's playing Elden Ring.

We're on the hunt as we tackle follower quests in Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak. We're also open to multiplayer hunts with the chat.

The stream is over! We beat The Creator in Final Fantasy IV: The After Years with ease. Our PS5 refused to work with OBS, so we played Tokyo Mirage Session #FE Encore instead. Reminder: There's no stream tomorrow. We raided Mini_Lilly who's playing Final Fantasy V.
