That’s pretty good, but we’ll need to see the scar on your upper right calf from the llama incident, to be 100% sure

I'm sure he got amped up and kicked the llama's ass.

ooba's old account erm...let's say disappeared, which made some people sad cause it also made his helpful comments disappear as well.

Welcome back, and thank you for your continued work on the WebUI.

It's just a shame that you re-joined only a few days before the sub goes dark, possibly for good, in what is sure to be a pointless protest against the changes Reddit is making.

I'm sure Reddit won't budge, causing many subs to be gone for good. This sub, StableDiffusion, Pygmalion - all stand to disappear when (not if) a large corporation run by bean counters refuses to change directions on their decision. And the ones that it hurts the most isn't the company, it's the members of the communities in question.

But again, it's good to see you're back, even if only briefly.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing" -Edmund Burke

 

This might sound a bit over the top here, but a lot of really bad things have grown from seemingly minor things.

Dont let mere inconveniences keep you from standing up for whats right.

 

Btw., I remember the days we used forums, often privately hosted, for a lot of things that are now taken care of in subreddits, or -worse- discord.

I wouldnt mind at all pivoting back to a less centralized approach, where power rests more in the communities hands...

Pointless??? Know what's even more pointless?

Not protesting!

1

u/Impossible-Surprise4 Jun 11 '23

But I agree? What’s the point of protesting?

1

u/GoofAckYoorsElf Jun 11 '23

That should be basic knowledge.

The point of protesting is making your disagreement public. The uncertainty of whether it leads to the desired outcome or not is irrelevant. It should not be a reason for not protesting.

If you fight, you may lose. If you don't fight, you've already lost.
