Mod Trident has been fired

Reply in thread

Stella ran a gambling clan and was RWT'ing gold for crypto. She was in a relationship with Mod Trident, who was senior anti cheat specialist at JAGEX. Trident protected her, allowing her to break the rules for so long.

When Stella didn't like a player, she would ask Trident to look into them and get them banned. Most bans were likely justified, but the collusion was certainly suspect.

When oda started a competing gambling clan, she got Trident to ban him for something he did 2 years ago. His main accounts got banned rather than the noob account he admitted to getting serviced on stream.

Oda called her out in a video. And that's when the house of cards started to fall down.

POLL - Will you stay on lemmy?

Hell yeah. I was 90% sold until ljdawson confirmed sync for lemmy. I'm going where he's going. Now I'm 110% staying.

All I'm wondering about is who will foot the bill on server costs. How is this site planning to be build more sustainably than reddit?

Post launch day chat

I think this setting should be on by default if sidebar navigation is turned on. It's a real game changer for this app in my opinion!

Settings shortcut: Experimental > Sliding panel style drawer

I haven't found any issues with it despite it being experimental. The only downside is that I now want it in every app that isn't Sync...

Edit: If I can make a change request. Could the search bar in the side panel be made into a pill shape like in the bottom drawer? Would modernize the look quite nicely imo.

The Future of the Ruinous Power - New Prayer Book Scrapped

Props to the team for showing that they have standards and won't just push out an update because they sank time and effort into it.

They may have expected it to fail, but it is an honorable thing to do regardless.

I also agree that it shared too many similarities with the existing prayers which meant that it didn't bring much in the way of new gameplay.

Maybe in a few months to a year we will get new content where a future iteration of the prayers can interact with it in interesting ways.

Avatars on Sync For Lemmy.

Well, reddit had chat and we weren't allowed to have it because they decided they didn't want to create an AP for 3rd parties to use.

I wouldn't presume Lemmy will lock features to its own app or site in an effort to monetize them or keep their users in their own apps.

I expect that ljdawson will bring in the features of the Lemmy site over to the app as he sees fit. And that we'll have a pretty complete experience.

[Concept] God Alignments - Fixing the Ruinous Powers!

This is really cool and could simplify the development of new prayers by quite a bit.

I do prefer the idea of entirely new prayer books but it's understandably an immense task considering how tightly the existing prayers are integrated to the game's design.

The concept does add an extra row, it seems. Rminds me of iPhone concepts after the iPhone 5 was released. Is the interface going to get taller and taller??
