I can't believe DOA is shutting down, Discord's turning to shit, and Instagram went kaput. I refuse to do short-form video platforms. The old world is dying and the new world struggles to be born. Now is the time of monsters.

I love my local little bjd group. We might not be many and our tastes often variate a lot, but all are nice an polite without sounding fake. It’s nearly time for the yearly Halloween meet up and I know everyone is excited and working on their dolls halloween themed outfit or dressing them in the one from last year. Looking forward to group pics. I also prepared little gifts for everyone, since it’s trick or treat after all. Can’t wait to see their faces!

the big bjd server mods being like "theres been too much judgment of other people's purchases here lately"... meanwhile the chat is full of people sharing bank details, people complaining about family financial issues, people sharing extensively about their debts and multiple layaways, same people buy buy buy. and apparently we're only allowed to enable this, or ignore it. not allowed to caution people not to get into financial trouble over dolls because according to the mods that's "harping" 🫩 i used to think moderation was fairly decent in there but there's been some baffling choices recently.

I finally muted the big server and it’s 90% because Gust4v is obnoxious

You can lock and delete my post about calling out AI solely because it hurt an AI shill's feelings, DOLLDREAMING MODS, but that doesn't change the fact that using AI to supplement creativity makes you a sore, pathetic loser.

And I will DIE on this hill. AI is killing the environment, accelerating a freshwater crisis, and causing measurable cognitive decline in those who use it. Using it to make your dolls move, talk, or dance is PATHETIC LOSER BEHAVIOR.

Glad to see some hate for Gvstav. I left the server because of him. Muting is not a solution because he spams so much and someone will engage with him eventually, so it's impossible to have a public conversation unless it involves him. He doesn't give a shit about anyone's dolls and dolls in general. He doesn't have a BJD and probably never will. He's only there to talk about himself and vacuum all the attention.It drove me up a wall when I was almost having a conversation and he must've felt excluded cause someone was actually talking about dolls, so he aggressively butted in over and over with some inane one-liner about his OC to derail back to himself. Occasionally he remembered to pretend it was supposed to be a doll project, but most of the time he didn't.He must be friends with the mods cause I'd have banned his ass ages ago. I don't care if he's not explicitly breaking any rule when he's obstructing everyone's experience. I wonder how many people left because of him.

Everyone in the bjd discord hates AI so much it is ridiculous. It is in literally everything we use. Who cares if a doll company used AI to animate a video? Yeah, it looks shit but that's all. Don't start screaming, crying, and virtue signalling. Not using AI doesn't make you a better person

People act like this one person is the bane of the BJD Discord enough to harass them on confession blogs like this, but I looked through recent messages and their posts didn't really stand out, or read as anything I other than enthusiastic. I guess if someone being excited about their projects "ruins" the community for you, feel free to leave I guess, but... you might want to work on how sensitive you are over people just chilling and enjoying the hobby. People like that exist (I'm one of them, I'm just more active in other circles) and if you are that badly put off by it, you're going to be stressed in *any* community, particularly ones where people like to enthuse about their hobbies. So I mean it in the kindest way when I say it might be better to learn to cope with annoyances, and if you have to blast some random person on a confession blog whose only "crime" is to be talkative... get a life?
