Speaking of ai


I am going to judge her accordingly based on her opinions of Hogfather
What wrong with Hogfather? I happened to see the movie first and never got to the book, but the movie was good.
Wait so that's it?
All Bondlive in Youtube just gone?
Checked out a few girls, they stay on youtube as indies.
Don't know how accurate or true this is about it probably being a Russian, also apparently, she was talking about almost falling for a phishing scam, so I guess she actually DID click a fucking link.

This happens so soon after Pippa admitted to clicking some retarded link in the offkai discord when it got hacked, and that was one of the most obvious scam links I've seen in a while, she was lucky she was on her phone when she did it. Pippa probably also did something similar back when her discord got locked that one time. They need like a proper mandatory course, because obviously them repeatedly fucking up isn't teaching them.
It's bullshit about Russian. Here is Cyrillic keyboard layout

I've found the "for you" page on Twitter pretty good after you do a bit of pruning. I said I wasn't interested in a few things like "sports", and I've blocked a few people I found annoying, but after about half an hour, I'd say about 80% or more of the posts there are stuff I'd want to see. I don't mind that it's in a mix, so I might see politics and vtubing mixed up. Works for me, but mightn't work for other people.

Now, if you're like El Rrata and want really specific types of content, I'd do follow lists, and add stuff like major hololive fanartists, prominent fans, and so forth, who will be posting their own content, and also talking to people and retweeting stuff that you'll want to see, and expanding that list further as you see more interesting people. Or alternatively, you could just search tags like "Hololive" and "Hololive EN" and just get whatever has been posted with that tag and get a cross-section across the fandom.

Twitter has its faults, but I think it's doing a good job at giving people the content they're after.

I think the issue here with the list thingy, you wont be seeing content related to the members made by accounts that are not hololive members. You won't be seeing fanarts, memes, community interactions, clips, announcements of collaboration between holo and other companies, etc. The only way to see all these on twitter is to use the "for you" page but you'll also be seeing an enormous amount of shit you dont care about.
You will if they retweet them, and you will if you make lists of those hashtags. And with a client like Old Tweetdeck or whatever the fuck their shitty new paywalled version is (just use OTD it's free and works on mobile) you can make lists that include people and hashtags/keywords. You don't have to go algorithmic to get the content, and only the content, you want.

Okayu is getting her own visual novel game! It'll be made by Entergram, the same company that did Aqua's:

She talked a little about how much work it's been recording for it. She felt bad about troubling the other members and staff so much and wondered if Aqua felt the same way when doing her game. She also wanted to take a picture of the script cause she recalled seeing Aqua doing the same when Aquarium was announced.

The official website will be coming next week. Here's the cover art, some bonus art and a picture of how big the script is:

She dropped a new cover earlier as well. And a TsuneMOS reunion is happening in an hour. Hag Cat got Towa to temporarily come back from break and will be playing the new Mario Party along with Mio and Subaru:

Speaking of features and changes to Twitter: they want to add transparency for blocked users



Twitter-to-change-block.jpg

People in the replies are happy with the change! With people bringing up stalkers, parents blocking hornyposters from kids (kids should not be on Twitter to begin with), to the hidden likes, everyone has something to say. Oh, did I say "happy"? I meant "livid"!

Yeah this update was the reason there's another uptick in bsky promotion again :BijouBijou:
Pretty sure this one actually violates apple/googleplay's TOS though since they require a hardblock as a feature so who knows if they would revert the decision or not, not that it would make the already cesspool of a site any better still

Step 1: Make a new account called El Rrata 2 (it'll take longer without this step, but not impossible).
Step 2: Follow all of the Holos.
Step 3: Like and reply to their posts.
Step 4: Like and reply to fanart.
Step 5: Click "not interested in this post" on stuff you don't want to see.
Step 6: Do this for a week.
Step 7: Profit.
I already did that with my main account, which I only created for holo. Shit doesn't work.

Holy fuck she is still seething that no one believes she didn't do a rip off Korone as an operator. It looks like Korone, just accept it and move one, you don't have to publicly defend a chink company for making you do it for years and years.
It's an inside joke in her community at this point. Calm down, nerd.

Apparently, Discord has a similar block function, so it may not be a violation. The only reason block wasn't removed entirely is likely because of this, though.

The thing I'm seeing people complain about is that they made it so that if you make a public tweet, accounts that you block can see that tweet. Which is colossally fucking stupid to complain about because if someone was stalking you, they could figure out how to make an alt account with zero effort.
Its funny because you can already do that by a private window or plugging in your alt unless the person who blocked made their profile locked
Its already been a thing for anyone with the slightest degree of internet savyness for years now

You dont even need to go through the effort of making an alt

@superduper dont click the dodgy on the questionable porn site!!!!

Besides that, you won't win a free iphone via clicking the mail in your gmail!!
(a bit of context: more than 80% asian women had their private account and information stolen because they clicked on winning free iphone link in phish mail)
Women in particular should never click on win free shit or get hacked ever because this generation has proven there's a guy somewhere willing to literally finance them just for existing.

I've seen a lot of people pretending that bluesky has a chance of being a viable social media platform recently.
Funnily enough, post elon it's actually been popping off like it was pre-elon twitter, so it actually does have a chance the devs play their cards right. The only thing holding it back was being invite only at the start.
No corpo is gonna move to some random platform just because seething artists and twittards are going there for a week to protest before they begin craving the attention juice and move back. The truth of the matter is that 99% of Twitter users aren't moving and corpos only care about the majority.

Remember mastodon? Remember the beehive logo one I forgot the name of? Yeah people have been swearing they'll fuck off of Twitter for a few years now and it never happens, this is all lip service.
Tbf, Hive ended up shooting itself in the face before it got off the ground, that's a tad bit different from bsky's situation. Also, with Elon purposefully breaking Apple/Play store/EU/CN/JP/SKR/AUS laws by changing the block feature, reduced access to X vs Bsky app could also be a push towards it if and/or when X gets blocked. He walked back on the reason Brazil blocked it, but this is significantly more wide spread if they actually pull their cards on it.

Social media platforms are only as good as who they let you connect with, and there are so many important players are on X. There's no point creating a Blue Sky account to follow a few artists when someone stole their work thirty seconds after they uploaded it and reposted it on a social media site people actually use. And even if you did create a Blue Sky account for whatever reason, you're not going to ditch your X account - you'll use both, and you'll spend far more time on X because that's where everyone is.

As for X being blocked or limited or whatever, they tried that in Brazil when there were all sorts of threats going around for anyone that tried to use it, but that didn't stop X being the most popular app in the country. Oh, and I don't see X being throttled anywhere important in the future, given the likelihood of a Trump presidency and Elon heavily backing Donald Trump. Yeah, X is here to stay and I don't see BlueSky being anything other than a footnote as a social media platform.

Small update for Ina-bros: Bae says Ina is doing well and will be back. She was at Calli's house watching anime and eating food the other night with Bae, wigger, IRyS, and Raora.
It actually sounded like Ina was still in Japan recently - Calli had a get together to watch Gurren Lagann a couple of days ago and Bae later followed that up by talking about that gathering and during that mentioned that she met Ina (see end of attached clip). Ina's original tweet a week ago about the situation also said she'd be able to post in a week once she flew home, so whatever happened it didn't result in her being thrown out of the country immediately. Maybe they were waiting a week for an appeals process? Dunno.


huh so Ina is still in Japan?
I assumed after the announcement, she would have to leave as soon as possible and go back home, but that doesn't seem that way?
Maybe her Visa troubles can be solved from within Japan after all?


Now that 7DTD is over, all I can say is that I already miss Chicken Salad
Fauna and Kiara are a great pairing, and its criminal that in 3 years, that duo had a grand total of 3 1on1 collabs



Kiara too seems quite happy with how the smaller groups are more accommodating to her, and also as a viewer its much easier to follow
