There’s really no arguing with crazy. Mods asking for donations and when you call them out, we’re somehow the crazy ones?! Next level 4D chess tactics.

And she called me a monochromatic freeloader … thanks I guess, whatever that means.

lmao she's fucking mental.

 

[Huevos de Oro]

Monochromatic Freeloader would be a nice title for an indie cyberpunk themed game. Or a tag.

 

[Wildebeest]

Resetera finally getting a political education and learning that working for a profit making business might be something that even poor people can do when you get paid.

Does anyone have a picture of Nepenthe ? She is supposed to be cute

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Maybe i'm being too relaxed about this thing but...why is "everyone" shocked and appalled over there? Why the fake outrage?
I mean...the place was owned by a single person, which no user ever cared about nor did they ever cared about who owned the damn thing.
That single person is getting paid to sell the forum. Everyone is shocked mods don't get paid for their work...even though it's common practice in community places like those. The mods not only seem okay with the entire thing, but they actually knew the facts prior this happening. Every time they post in there they just seem unbothered by it all.

So now the users (not even related to that mess) are shading and insulting all the mods and pretending to be insulted by the fact those mods aren't...getting money?

In what way does that change their staying in there or enjoyment of that forum? How the fuck did that escalate like this? Maybe i'm missing something totally obvious?

Also...cringing at the posts "imma request account deletion. too much for me. noooo...byyyye" i mean...just go? why the drama?

Do people just like to be outraged? That topic is looking more and more like a twitter thread.

Receipts as requested.

Please help me reframe my potentially backwards view on sex work

For years, I thought that "the Nordic model" was the right way. I thought that buyers should stay criminalized, but I felt that those in sex work were largely being exploited and should not face any sort of criminal charges or treatment. Last year, I came to recognize how flawed the Nordic model...

this guy is my friend and i never knew this happened ! Anyways good for him. We should not comment on others personal life. I dont think this is okay.

 

[hemo memo]

if Nepenthe is a “she” I’m an ancient extraterrestrial sent to earth from andromeda

And I identify as a Mutant.
The pronouns are: Xme/Xmen

Hopefully countries can build a school for us.

It won’t be immediate but the new owners will revamp the site soon to accommodate their other products. It’s fine to be hands off in the past but now that it’s owned by a business then expect them to concentrate on profits.

People seem more outraged about mods not getting paid and how much the single owner is getting though.
I do understand what you mean and yeah things will change in there. Maybe not not, not on day on but they will.

 

[nush]

Well now you can tell everyone he's dating a prostitute and maybe he shouldn't tell everyone about it in public on one of the biggest internet forums. That's goint to be awkward next time you meet him and his girlfriend.

I feel like it’s more of an envy than concern. They simply don’t want a single person without that much contact with the community to get everything.

Nobody was ever meant to own ResetEra in the early days. The forum was supposed to be "for everyone" with a few people handling the server bill and people offering to donate. How this Cerium guy got his hands on the deed and sold it to some company behind everyone's back I'm not sure. The company who purchased the forum is obviously looking for an opportunity to push their own agenda and it probably won't be long until there's another exodus over there.

yeah some random dude who has his first prostitute experience 1.5 years ago (during covid nonetheless) has now somehow knowledge about the "complete" british industry...also his gf told him she gets butterflies with other dudes but not with him? "yikes"

 

[TVexperto]

can someone please dm me their discord invite?

 

[RCU005]

Wait who in their right mind pays that kind of money for such a small board? That´s ~80 bucks per user wtf?

I wonder how much would it be for each banned user

 

[Star-Lord]

No, it’s genuine concern. A pedophile sympathiser has just been paid $4.5M for a forum full of racists, bigots, and pedophiles. Are you telling me that doesn’t concern you?

Technically what he did was sold the holding pen to a mental asylum

how they don’t realise that nobody gives a shit about them and they are just cattle is beyond me

the real mvp is whoever the finance person who green lit the company wasting that amount of money on that forum

It's like I said, they forgot to check the status of those members. Missed 80% had 'banned' behind their name.

Living up to your name I see...

 

[Cyborg]

Hahah I just got ''Sucking Up To The Boss'' achievement from EviLore It pays off to be a member since 2009! Thank you so much!

 

[TVexperto]

I wonder how much would it be for each banned user

well they banned over 50k... they have 50k left ... so they banned more than half their userbase

 

[GymWolf]

Own? What like a plantation owner?

I love her black slave attitude about everything in life

 

[Marvel14]

people just like to be outraged

This should be its official tagline :

"RESETERA: because people just like to be outraged"

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Kanye was right. Slavery is a mindset.

 

[nush]

Does anyone have a picture of Nepenthe ? She is supposed to be cute

yes.
No. Not in any way shape or form. That's why she has to hide in a furry suit.

 

[cormack12]

I would really like to see the documents on this. Especially the market/demograph reach....

Resetera, a multicultural, inclusive community for marginalised identity groups.

Males: 85%
Females: 8%
Deer/Otherkin: 7%

White: 93%
Black: 2%
Asian: 2%
Different white but still white: 3%

 

[nush]

It's nice to want things.

Anyway I’m done with the shadenfraude feast.

They can happily live their fantasies as anti capitalistic SJW while an investment firm mines their data.

I’ve got video games to play.

 

[rob305]

Isn't this the guy who bought his wife?

Good to see mummy and daddy lent a hand.

The guy who bought his wife is messofanego (his parents bought his wife)

 

[Cyberpunkd]

ITT champagne socialists discovering how capitalism works. Maybe they can ask their parents to explain it better to them.

[Cyberpunkd]

ResetERA: Triggered is our jam.

Also funny how the one guy pointed out the obvious - that paying people requires a lot more than simply sending money via PayPal. Are they employees? Are they contractors? Do you need to declare them? Are you correctly paying social security fees?

But no, instead they continue to be outraged and ask to pay people on the side. That’s illegal.

 

[Pedro Motta]

Thanks, mate. Yes, I've been through frustration periods a lot, nearly quit as well and sold all my gear. Honestly speaking, in any business, you really need to be as social as possible, and to know as much as you can. Most of those deals have biases, and if the client likes you he/she would rather have you over someone probably more capable, as long as he/she feels that you're passionate and aiming for the best level possible.

It's so painful to work for free, but my plan is to keep it as bare-minimum and at the right time as self-advertisement when things seem to be slow. Also making a neutral video like something around an event (halloween/Christmas/national day/something education with association with police, etc) could help make you go viral and don't feel the sting of unpaid work.

Also widen your portfolio, I'm 100% a naturalist, but going for ads now, sports, and might as well go for underwater documentaries (extremely expensive!) when I get the chance. Also listen carefully to whom considered "downers", even though you won't do what they say, but they represent a chunk of the audience and they might spark a positive change in your work, whatever that biz is .

Never give up my man! It was the same hard path for me as well, but nowadays I can prowdly say I own 2 companies, one in Visual Effecs and another one (just recently assembled to deal with the production in advertising. Dunno if I can share a link here, but send me a PM and I'll share our websites.

 

[Whitecrow]

Oohh who would have preditcted its self-destruction...

 

[TheTechnician]

So they of course sided with those who believe that People from the Black Community suffered from systemic racism for example that black people would not get a loan because banks an capitalists especially are inherently racist.
But we all know that is a big load of BS because even most ultra hardcore anti Black Racist working in a bank , would not want to loose out on the bonuses that come with such contracts.

That now capitalism brought us the solution to this Resetera Problem is quite ironic.

 

[skit_data]

OMG, I haven’t watched Kopps in such a long time. Its too bad Josef Fares left the film industry for the gaming industry.

 

[Banjo64]

I think the owner should give the mods at least something. Yes mods are volunteers, but as you get this massive cheque maybe at least 1% to the people that helped? It's optional anyway, from a moral point of view.

That’s true, and it’s something a decent human being would consider. However, it’s pretty clear that neither the owner, nor any of the staff team, are decent human beings. As was highlighted on Ree, surely some of the cash should also go to the various causes they are always championing - it won’t though, they’ve all been had, similar to the gullible idiots that buy Harambe 2022 t-shirts from some opportunistic start up company after seeing some Reddit post about how Harambe is a Colombian war lord that arse rapes chickens.

 

[GymWolf]

This Nepethe guy must be raging so fucking hard inside. I guess this "comedic" side he is using now is just a mechanism to try and not explode in a million pieces.

Right now she is getting payed by idiots for being a racist cunt in a forum, not sure about the raging tbh...

That escalated quickly

 

[RoboFu]

To all the ERA lurkers looking at this thread.

let this be a lesson to you about socialism. You thought you had a socialist community but as always in a socialistic society the people in power have all the power and you had nothing. You had no true say in the matter. You get nothing in the end. Socialism/equity is a lie. It’s always more about keeping people down and in line than raising people up.

 

[mekes]

It would be the biggest boss move if the new owners just took the website offline.

 

[nush]

I think they'll migrate the users to one of the dead forums they already own and pay for server space for.

 

[Wildebeest]

I don't really care about a payout for resetera mods. They agreed to do what they do and are not dependent on income from the site to maintain themselves. The value created for investors is the content the regular users post anyway. The minimum the site owner could have done is declared to the user base how much he invested in the site, its profit, and then let them vote on reputable charities to donate a fixed percentage of the profits. If they were more serious about it being a positive "community first" thing. Of course that would never happen as it would cause more strife and drama than simply hiding in the shadows and counting the money.

Really I just think it is another funny case of these Internet activist campaigns having the attention span of a goldfish. People will visibly care about the cause for a few minutes, to prove that they are good people, then get bored and move on way before any sort of hard work or self-sacrifice can even be mentioned.
