Number 1 is already a thing. It was a pretty recent update.

Why? A lot of people, like myself, have reclaimed it and use it to describe themselves. As long as it’s not used in a negative or derogatory way, like as an insult or name calling, I don’t see the problem?

HELL YEAH 💖

YUP. Big time. You are not alone!

Yay! I’m happy to see a King of the Hill community and instance available! Also, I love the domain name! I may just make an account here, but I really want to think about what username to use this time, rather than just putting whatever popped into my head like I did for this account when I wasn’t sure if I’d even use the account, lol. Thanks for making this! I saw your comment mentioning it on shitjustworks and will be subscribing from my account there, too. Thanks again! :)

Ooh, neat! Thanks for the recommendation!

I also feel like lots of people uploading images directly to an instance’s servers put a lot more strain on them - especially at a time where most servers are experiencing serious growing pains and may not really have the funds to keep expanding their storage. They’re not ad supported like places like Reddit are.

I think it would be courteous of us to try and spread it out a bit and use services specifically intended for and set up for image hosting.

I had heard about them deleting images uploaded without an account, and the nsfw purge stuff, but I hadn’t heard about this. Thank you so much! I’ll have to make extra sure that everything I’ve uploaded on my account over the years is for sure backed up elsewhere.

Do you know if this is already happening, or is there a date in the future that it’ll start? Most of my uploads are private and I’m too busy to get all of it manually downloaded right this moment (if it’s even still there!) Crud! I only just finally managed to download aaallll my years of stuff from Photobucket after they stopped allowing free hosting, lol.

Thanks for the info, I really appreciate it!

Yes, I agree! I’d also love it if, when you click a link, it shows the full true link and then let’s you choose whether or not you want to go there, like RiF does.

That way if someone posts a link behind some text, you have a better idea of what you’re getting into before it just pops up on your screen. Could be what they said it was, could be a Rick Roll, could be awful brain-scarring porn like Leon Party…

Aww! My kitty likes to be spoonfed, too. 😆 Just earlier today I was spoon-feeding her strawberry ice cream as she demanded. (Dairy doesn’t bother her, thankfully, & I only give her a little bit) I melt it and check it with my lip to make sure it’s not too cold before I give it to her so she doesn’t get a brain freeze or anything, haha.

Sounds like both our adorable kitties are spoiled! As they deserve! :)

Right!? I totally agree!! I adore all her weird little quirks!! :)

Hehe, yep! That or she comes and gets one of us and has us follow her to her food and sits there and stares at us until we uncover it for her, ha! She can uncover it herself, but I guess she likes to make her slaves do it for her, lol!

She likes to have someone watch her back for her while she eats (she was clearly abused before we took her in :( so she’s an anxious lil thing) so one of us is usually there anyway, and we don’t mind. She’s worth it :)

Editing to add because it’s cute and why not: She’s been with us around 10 years now and she JUST finally started letting me touch and rub her tummy sometimes!! She gets all blissed out and purrs and chirps happily and it’s adorable.

Thanks for the Power Delete Suite link! It seems like a very helpful tool. I appreciate it!

Haha, right? She does! :) Nowadays we leave a few pieces of clean paper by her food so she can cover it with those, otherwise she’ll use whatever she can find. It’s hilarious and adorable and I love my little oddball!

If I remember correctly, RES has basically been limping along in maintenance mode for quite a while now and there’s only one or two people left working on it - and only from time to time.

Oh my goodness! Please, please, please look after yourself and your health and wellbeing first and foremost!

It sounds like we’re a lot alike, and I burned myself out overextending myself, like you’re doing, trying to help others so much for so long…my health issues got worse and now I can’t help anyone because I can barely even take care of myself! and it’s an awful feeling when previously helping others was my whole thing and reason for living.

This may be unsolicited and TMI, but just wanted to caution you about what could happen. Look after yourself, please! You deserve it! Remember that you can’t help and look after others if you don’t help and look after yourself. Thank you for everything you’ve done and are doing already. Hang in there. <3
