I feel like the state of this community makes the sidebar kind of funny, since people other than the moderators literally can’t make posts.

Overall, the story seems pretty interesting. Does anyone know what the picture at the end is supposed to be?

To be honest, I was thinking about ones where people uploaded short stories to the platform. I guess if you want a community focused on the act of writing, you have [email protected] and [email protected], which are about discussions about writing generally and writing furry stories respectively, and there are probably others that I’m too lazy to find.

Anyways, I am not the best person to find writing communities in general. For example, I literally found this post today, which lists a bunch of communities for short stories. I’m going to list them in order of most to least active, as well as adding my own findings (of communities of short stories where fiction could be appreciated).

• [email protected] (last post >200 days ago)
• [email protected] (last post >200 days ago)
• [email protected] (last post > 700 days ago)

So there are some.

Overall, it seems like I probably should have remembered literature.cafe as a whole existed when I made the first post. It also has a community for writing prompts.

What would be signs of a revolution?

I feel like most of the writing communities are also pretty inactive. I’m not sure why. I liked reading short stories on Reddit, and I don’t like looking at memes. I’m not sure whether it’s a good thing (because I don’t use Lemmy as often that way) or a bad thing.

I guess I could spam them with public-domain stories or reposts or something, but I feel like that’s just losing the plot.

I was originally responding to this comment with an image I made in Google Slides, but then I realized that was rather rude and unproductive. I guess I thought the decision to make a meme in response to the post indicated that it wasn’t being done in very good faith. I think the image I originally posted was misrepresenting that person’s position, and I no longer agree with what I said.

I don’t know of anything like the IPA, but has anyone recommended this?

Obviously the descriptions don’t indicate exact sounds, but the papers might.

It’s also possible you know more about this topic than I do. In that case, I’d like to know more. Thank you for asking this question.

self-reported rates of cheating remain at a constant 25-35% of the student body over large periods of time.

I’ve tried for hours, but I can’t figure out where you got these numbers. I can mostly find sources implying that far more people admit to engaging in cheating, not to mention sources which imply more people engage in cheating than those who admit to it, and sources that imply that the figures for cheating vary based on many factors even within places of learning, and vary based on what kind of cheating you’re talking about. Perhaps I’m just in a filter bubble. Can you tell me where you got these numbers?

It’s like Alexander the Great untying the Gordian knot by cutting it in half, but if the Gordian knot was actually important and cutting it in half could destroy Phrygia.

(This might not even be a good analogy.)

People of Lemmy, would you say that Rust (programming language) is better or worse as a multi-player game than Rust (video game)?
