We’re all with you!

You didn’t just push it to main, you also pushed confidential code to the public repo!

The boost also apparently sends the post out to your subscribers, whereas the upvote does not.

The pinnacle would probably be a dedicated Ampere server or workstation.

How would you compare it to Matrix? I use Matrix and have never tried XMPP.

The way Reddit works is that the first commenter with a decent response gets all the karma, so yeah people rush it. It’s good practice for writing under a tight time constraint though as you go through the entire cycle of planning to draft to editing in only 30 minutes - 2 hours.

You get better with time and you’ll be surprised as to how quickly you can improve after doing dozens of them. Here’s my WP archive for reference, the oldest responses at the end of the “archive 1” pdf (from 8 years ago) I laugh at today but the skills I learned there carry over to the recent ones.

There already is a https://kbin.social/m/WritingPrompts, but there isn’t much content.

Yeah personally I’m not a fan and I would rather follow a well-written guide than spend even more time auditing such a script (which would be even more difficult if you’re not experienced with Proxmox). For maintenance’s sake it’s also risky getting your service set up like this as you don’t know how the script set things up and it’s harder to fix things if they go wrong.

I’ve never used a colo before; my rack servers live happily in my basement. If you google say “1U network colo <city name>” you’ll find many providers.

There also is the empty https://kbin.social/m/WritingPrompts. On Beehaw’s writing some people have posted prompts and it’s the first place here where I’ve actually seen someone reply to a prompt. It’s not a dedicated writing prompt space though.

In general it looks like the migration is mostly spearheaded by tech rather than art, which I sort of expect. I mean the original /r/writingprompts didn’t even discuss or acknowledge the protest at all.

For writing, practice writing short stories using writing prompts (I normally use Reddit’s /r/writingprompts but I’m trying to find an alternative here) and post them on the thread even if they suck. The commitment is low since it’s a short story and you can afford to twist the story to match your writing style rather than the other way around. You’ll also get votes and feedback from other members.

I started drawing as a kid, stopped for a while, and got back to it in my teens since I started doing a lot of writing then and wanted to visually depict what was happening as well. One thing that helped me a lot was to not look at other people’s art or photographs but rather solely work with what you’re visualizing in your mind and reiterate (with many many strokes) until the quality becomes acceptable. Use pencil and sketch with short and light lines. The point here is to develop your own intuition for perspective, splitting an object into basic shapes, and so forth.

I’ll also add that it’s extremely important to create your own style both for writing and drawing. Make your stuff look good, but always keep in mind that it’s fine to have your own quirks and distinctions. E.g. if your lines are a bit sketchy or if your circles aren’t perfect that can easily be part of your style.
