S&box situation is just sad

It's impossible to criticize Facepunch in the s&box server in any way, you get insta banned.
Everyone secretly hates Matt in the s&box server, but no one can actually admit it and say it in his face.

I'm a proud hater.

Not a healthy environment, it has been a police state since the beginning, just like the UK.

Has the worst fucking takes I've ever seen, the problem is right in your face, which badandbest pointed out, there's 3 rows of the same top games that are shit to play, and the good game argument doesn't really work, because Dark Descent (which is an example of a good game), both in quality and engagement is still way down below on the Playfund charts.

Why not just post on your main account instead of hiding behind an alt?

• Potentially life-changing playfund money.
• Rapport with the programmers who fix bugs and implement features.
• Peace of mind, as Small Fish and certain Facepunch programmers like to make random community members their personal lolcow, or "bitch eating crackers."

To answer your question, think about what someone risks losing when they make a public statement against Facepunch:

• Potentially life-changing playfund money.
• Rapport with the programmers who fix bugs and implement features.
• Peace of mind, as Small Fish and certain Facepunch programmers like to make random community members their personal lolcow, or "bitch eating crackers."

dunno what you're saying, this is my main. But of course a leftie like you hates when people can speak their mind freely without being afraid of twitter-nowbluesky cancel mob. I just wanted to talk about state of the platfrom  ahead of the upcoming release,  and your first post in this thread was about politics.

Why are you posting your hours? Is that how it works?

Okay. I declare that this thread is now about politics.

Only kidding - I wouldn't use my s&box hours to limit discussion like that. I recognize that threads can be more about just one thing; they are fluid, like gender! 

I reject the premise that I am being especially "political" in this topic. Any attempts to pigeonhole me as such will be met with uncomfortable realizations about the type of person who believes that they have the right to decide for others what topics of discussion are "too political" to engage with.

I am actually being remarkably "offline" and "normal" about it. If you disagree, that is your right, and I would be eager to hear of why you disagree!

Whoever posts on alts just to avoid not getting paid by the people that give you a platform (and removing them from discourse of said platform) shows there is either disregard for rules or trying to hide from accountability via their statements.

FP; and thus a extension to the S&box community have the right to revoke anyone (obv) as they see fit if it means hurting the public impression of their work of 10+ years.

Discourse that continues (indirectly) to scrutinize their employees (political or otherwise) based on their personal opinion rather than their objective work is doing a disservice and even downplaying the talent that went into the creation of the engine. As long as FP doesnt include their emotional baggage into making the engine worse, this discourse does nothing for constructive reasoning on making the community or its works better.

We should instead be looking to intercept ideas that FP introduce in the future that would jeopardize the integrity of the platform/engine they are creating and paying us to create for (Particularly of the PlayFund and its usage patterns since people wish to leverage this against others).

This means examining their commits, changes, web availability, and PlayFund handling; publicly. In a opinion of mine, the energy towards objective-based examination of the engine's changes makes a better future for the engine and the people that create with it. Its clear with enough people saying something that it will be heard by garry and other FP staff. 

I agree with those that share the sentiment to greatly reduce problematic political discourse without stifling it completely. (tbh some are funny)

You are free to remain as subjectively "apolitical" as is your preference. After all, I presume that you are not the steward of a community comprising many diverse perspectives.

whenever you guys say slop it invalidates everything else you say

Я согласен с теми, кто разделяет мнение о необходимости значительно сократить проблемный политический дискурс, не подавляя его полностью. (честно говоря, некоторые забавные)
