uhhh... what do I call the "subreddits"?
They're communities. And the different servers/sites are instances.

Liberapay is much preferred
Maybe you should make that more obvious on the page somehow? Like make Liberapay a bigger button that's separate from the rest, or just outright say in the text that it's preferred? Because as someone with no preference between them and considering supporting, I probably would have gone with Patreon out of inertia/recognition.

Reddit is claiming that Christian Selig (the Apollo dev) attempted to blackmail them
Ooh, spicy. Reddit really does want to turn this into the biggest messiest drama they can, huh?

Thoughts on Gacha?
Gacha mechanics are a plague on video games. Truly dystopian shit. But not all gacha games are that bad. Just most of them. Genshin is basically just breath of the wild but more jank.

so the real upper limit is 1000 frames per second.
This is basically the same misconception just kicked further down the road. The truth is that the human eye simply does not see in any way similarly to the way a camera sees and can't be compared. There is no upper limit.

Advertising my new Community: Pure Skin
I already thought this was kind of a sus concept (plenty of silly things you can jokingly hate on people for that aren't "impure skin" which comes way too close to real bigotry) but then you said it's on burggit, the explicitly pedo instance lmao
This shit needs a flamethrower asap

I love it when people get banned but somehow they're still commenting on the same post which got them banned with absolutely no problems. Sounds like a very real ban.

join-lemmy.org is promoting an instance with paedophilia

Yup, there's no way they can't just hide specific instances from the list. And they really should. The only explicitly NSFW instance being an explicitly pedo instance is a really bad look. Exactly the wrong kind of early reddit vibes.

I'm disappointed I missed the chance to get one of these. It seems like such a cool thing. I'm holding out hope that they'll revisit the idea someday.

"If you tell a lie big enough and tell it frequently enough, people will eventually come to believe it". What is an example of this happening today?

The simple version is that color blindness is caused by a physical problem with your eyes. If you don't have the parts required to detect certain colors then no glasses are going to fix that. They're just tinted glasses, the guy in the video tries three different pairs from different companies and all they do is tint the world a hideous shade of pink/magenta.
As someone else said above, what they can do is change your ability to differentiate between objects of slightly different colors. You might have a really hard time telling the difference between red and green, but find it easier to tell the difference between hideous vaguely reddish magenta and hideous vaguely greenish magenta. They don't grant you a greater range of color vision, but they do change what color is actually hitting your eyes. Mostly into hideous magenta.
FWIW the guy in the video points out that in his experience it generally made colors harder, not easier, to differentiate.

The beginning of Twoxchromosomes!
I understand that the reddit one was created in a different time, but I feel like in 2023 there's no excuse for making the name of your general womens' forum overtly transphobic

Burggit advertises itself explicitly as a "loli/shota/cub friendly" NSFW instance. (Those words mean little girls, little boys, and little furries respectively) You can see this over on join-lemmy.org

yeah, over on hexbear comms is the usual parlance anyway. the wider lemmy population with the new reddit people might change that though

Why is porn not allowed on this site

she still lived with her parents at 24 years old with no ambition other than to live off of others. she proudly stated this. she didn’t work. she had multiple sugar daddies that would financially support her while she would insult them and her customers behind their backs openly to anyone that would listen to her garbage.
Unimaginably based, she is my hero
