We've lost a lot to the onslaught of enshittification but I can think of none more brazen than Discord getting rid of the send button

[phantomrose96]

Oh, you've typed a message? You've typed a message? Would you like to add a sticker (server stickers available with Nitro Boosts(TM).) Would you like to add an emoji (more custom emojis available with Nitro(TM).) Would you like to send a gift (gift your friend Nitro(TM) for only $9.99 a month.) Would you like to add an app (more apps available in the Nitro Store(TM).)

[phantomrose96]

They got rid of the send message button. On the send messages to my friends app. In order to make room for a 5th button that sells you something. The parody is too bold people will roll their eyes you have to scale it back.

[the-final-sif]

I would like to gently point out that the send button can be enabled or disabled under accessibility,

Also, if you're someone who'd like to customize your discord further, or remove nitro garbage or bypass it, better discord (an open source project) can be used on desktop for a lot of fun results:

BetterDiscord extends the functionality of DiscordApp by enhancing it with new features.

Plugin options can entirely replicate nitro stuff, and enhance privacy, such as:

RemoveChatButtons - BetterDiscord

Remove annoying buttons like the Gift button from the chat box.

"Fuck those buttons"

InvisibleTyping - BetterDiscord

Enhanced version of silent typing.

"Hey maybe I don't want you to know when I'm typing"

SplitLargeMessages - BetterDiscord

Allows you to enter larger Messages, which will automatically split into several smaller Messages

"Fuck the character limit"

BetterFriendList - BetterDiscord

Adds extra Controls to the Friends Page, for example sort by Name/Status, Search and All/Request/Blocked Amount

"Can I see my friends in a normal manner please"

BetterAnimations - BetterDiscord

Improves your whole experience using Discord. Adds highly customizable switching animations between guilds, channels, etc. Introduces smooth

"I would like navigating discord to be like a powerpoint please"

And many other features that range from helpful to profoundly useless but fun.

Enshittification sucks, but the first step to undoing it is taking control of your experiences and helping others do the same. So hopefully this helps a little?

Another Fandom Event Dropped!

~*~

Hello! I'm Teté, a mod for the Bottom Yllz Week on twitter! It's a week long event as the name says, from 31st October to November 7th (one more day bc of timezones!) It's an event to commemorate Wei Wuxian's birthday and also to encourage ppl to create more content of the Yilling Laozu being a bottom. Prompts and rules in the images ;) @macaraoqueijo

Bottom YLLZ Week

Thank you to Teté for including the following nice info graphics and make sure to check out the retrospring page linked above for more information on the event. Posting starts on Wei Wuxian's birthday, so all bottom Wei Wuxian fans, look forward to this event!

*** REBLOG so everyone enjoy! ***

Wangxianficrecs doesn’t coordinate anything in our Eye on Events segment, we’re just letting everyone know about them.  If you have an event you want the fandom to participate in or know about, let us know, and we’ll make a post about it.

[temnurus]

Hi 😊 I just wanted to say thank you for all the WWX LWJ fic recommendations on your page, I've been so happy since I found them. I'm very new to the fandom (I know I'm super late to the party) and just finished watching the untamed and I'm craving for more. I've read some of the LWJ POV stories and they were great so far. So I trust your taste 😁

So, I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate you sharing them!

And can you tell me maybe, where I can find the novel (in English)?

Have a lovely day!

Aw, thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed them! If you have any particular kinds of fics you like, favorite tropes, that kind of thing, feel free to ask, & I'd be happy to make you a tailored rec list. It's usually how I end up making themed rec lists anyway. A friend will ask for something they're in the mood for or someone posts somewhere asking for something specific, & then I get inspired & off I go, haha.

As to your question about where to find the novel in English, I'm assuming you mean for free? I found them at my local library, & that's how I read MDZS the first time through before purchasing the e-books when I had the funds to. There are also fan translations floating around, though I know they tend to be pulled down a lot of the time once official translations become available.

"Why can't the freaks on AO3 just go and make a site for all the gross stuff and leave AO3 alone."

Because AO3 is that site. Because AO3 was that site long before you decided AO3 was better than the sites you bullied us off of before, and I can promise you if someone somehow comes up with a fanfic site you like better specifically for the 'gross stuff' you'll try to bully us off that too so you can benefit from it.

AO3's specific core purpose is to preserve fanfiction, yes, but it was also instigated as a host site for the fanfiction that kept getting yeeted off other platforms like Wattpad. Its designed to preserve all fanfiction, not just the fanfiction you, personally, think is 'allowed' to be written.

AO3 is the site for all the gross stuff the freaks make. We've been there just as long as you. We've been funding it just as long as you have. AO3 has specifically said you have a place here. The timeline was literally:

Wattpad/FF.net/LiveJournal purge fanfics > AO3 is born > The people who's fics got purged moved over to AO3 > AO3 gains popularity as the best functioning site > The people who pushed for the fics to be purged off Wattpad move to AO3 > The same people try to push for AO3 to purge fics.

AO3's source coding is open-access. You go make a polished, strict, rigid site where nothing 'icky' is allowed. You go make a site where you can control what is hosted. We already have our space.

[octopuscato]

[elfwreck]

AO3 was specifically made for the stuff likely to be purged from other sites.

It was built around "we need to own the servers" so we wouldn't have to deal with anyone else's judgment calls about what was acceptable in fanfic: Not corporate sponsors, not evangelical religious groups, not "save the children" activists... and not other fans who think that The Gross Stuff should be banned from public view, only shared via private email after you've sent in a request heavily laden with special keywords.

Some of the founders remembered when slash fanfic was kept under the table at the dealer's room, distributed with brown paper wrappers only to people who knew to ask for it specifically.

And they said: Fuck that. Our art is not a crime and we're not going to be ashamed of it. If you are ashamed to have your art next to it - there's a whole wide internet that's ready to host your G-rated genfic.

AO3 was built for the stuff that was unwelcome elsewhere.

I feel so called out rn. 🤣😭😳

[marshmallowwitharubberband]

The Guanyin temple confession is maybe my favorite scene of any piece of media I've ever consumed because it's so unpredictable.

You got the villain just halting his evil plot, full stop, in the middle of his gloating speech, no less, because "What do you MEAN you guys aren't even together?! What?! No, no, no, there won't be any romantic misunderstanding in my hostage situation! Honey, tell him!"

And then the calmest, most polite character alive procceeds to go his version of apeshit on this punk like "my brother like-likes you, you fucking pinecone! You useless twink! We all thought you were a hoe but you are just an imbecile!" (Which is a nice parallel to the Jiang brothers' hatred for the peacock, but I digress)

And THEN, when it's the perfect moment for a climatic love confession, homeboy goes and screams for everyone to hear that he... really wanted that dick, Hanguang-jun! Where's love? Who cares? WWX wants to ride you like a carnival ride: sticky and filthy and multiple times.

It's a wonder that Xichen didn't yank that string from Jing GuangYao to strangle WWX himself.

This has been my favorite addition, I cackled like a seal irl lol

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.

You know, one time I read a fanfic and it triggered my psychosis, sent me into a month long episode THEN a whole year later I was on ao3 just mindlessly scrolling, I came across the fanfic title and it gave me a panic attack, but something compelled me to click it, i didn't read it but i did scroll through it, why? mental illness.

So like... ya

This is me responding to your old(?) post about someone else's fiction not being able to hurt you, this is probably just a me thing but mental illness makes you do things and react to things in insane ways that sometimes you cant control. I knew while reading that it was affecting me in some way, but I kept reading because well, I'm mentally ill, and then a month of my life dissapeared lol

I think I'm trying to make a point about something but I'm not sure

I did after the fact comment to the author and just kinda, told them about what happened, but I didn't harrassed them or something, -

-but when something does what this fanfiction did to me then you're basically obligated to let the creator know I think(they are a really good writer), I'm an adult and the fanfic was in the ballpark of something I would read and if like, 59% of it was taken out and it had a happy ending I would be fine but oh well

Oh boy, I'm starting to have a panic attack just typing this out holy hell anyways uh, I'm not disagreeing with you(?) but I am saying, don't be too quick to dismiss someone who says a piece of fiction fucked with them? idk sorry, have a good one

My friend, the fiction didn't harm you.

Your mental illness harmed you.

Random writers on the internet are not responsible for managing your mental illness for you.

You are responsible for managing your mental illness.

I knew while reading that it was affecting me in some way, but I kept reading because well, I'm mentally ill

This is self harm. You were engaging in self-harming behavior by continuing to read a fanfiction that you knew was triggering to you.

👉 You are responsible for managing your mental illness.

👉 Writers are not responsible for managing your mental illness for you.

And I hate to tell you this but messaging the author about it was absolutely harassing the author.

[ableedingpen]

"I think I'm trying to make a point about something but I'm not sure"

Yeah you are.

You're trying to show that saying 'someone else's fiction isn't able to harm you' is wrong, actually, look, it harmed you! when in actuality, you just harmed yourself.

I am fascinated to see what your comment to the author was.

"Hi, I read the warnings for this fic, then read the fic and it triggered me for some reason and caused a month long a psychotic episode, and then I read your fic again on purpose, knowing that it triggered me before, and gave myself a panic attack, and you know I'm obliged to tell you this, next time can you just change half of your fic and give it a happy ending so I won't trigger myself, thanks"

No one needs to read that on a work they put time and effort into.

I was reading a fic that involved a medical procedure that gave me a panic attack out of nowhere, but that wasn't on the author. That was a me problem.

It's a me problem that is so far divorced from the author and what they wrote that telling them about it would be cruel.

And that was a me problem that I didn't even know I had until that point - I can't imagine =knowing= that I'm about to read something that would trigger me and STILL blaming the author and their fic.

[greywrenn]

Dear Reese's,

One time I ate one of your peanut butter cups and it triggered anaphylaxis. A year later, I came across another one of your peanut butter cups, and even just seeing its bright orange packaging was enough to give me a panic attack from the memories of my medical emergency. But, I still opened the package. I didn't eat the whole cup because I have a peanut allergy, but I did break it open and lick the middle.

Now I feel obliged to contact you and let you know that your clearly labeled peanut product triggers severe reactions for people with peanut allergies. If you could change about 59% of your product (the chocolate on the outside is fine! It's just the peanut butter that's the issue), I would appreciate it.

Sincerely,

Tumblr Anon

And people really do try to interact with fandom like consumers! They want « content ». They act like they can get a refund on reading a fic they don’t like. They add fanfics to goddamned goodreads without a second thought without realizing that’s as ridiculous as adding your friend’s dining room as a restaurant on yelp just so you can post a review about it

[cyanwrites]

'Fandom' is a contraction of 'fanatic' and 'kingdom'.

Fanatic, from Latin fanaticus "mad, enthusiastic, inspired by a god."

Fandom is literally the place people go to be enthusiastically crazy about their blorbos! There are no normal people here!
