Hehe thanks, means a lot ๐Ÿ˜ I know sometimes I'm late but I do my best to provide the monthly chapter updates. It's some of the only Dragon Ball content the fans are getting at the moment anyways.

I don't mind this place being quite empty. I much prefer that over "pic #308192 of someone's Dragon Ball tattoo" or the daily "why doesn't Vegeta wish for the Saiyans to be revived?"

That looks to me like the episode where Goku turns Super Saiyan 2 to fight Caulifla and Kale. Should be Dragon Ball Super Episode 113 "With Great Joy! The Repeat Battle-Crazy Saiyan Fight!!" / "With Great Joy! The Fighting Freak Saiyans' Battle Rejoined!"

I'd say your best bet is scrubbing through that episode to find this still and screenshotting it.

Great post, thanks for taking the time to write it up! I was gearing up to write a reply based on the new information we've gotten from the latest movie, Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero (awful name), but it looks like that's what you've planned out to be your next post.

In recent years, Dragon Ball has been in a weird phase of flip flopping between coming up with new ideas and re-treading old ideas. Introducing Beerus, re-treading Freeza, introducing other universes, re-treading Broly, introducing Moro, re-treading Cell. Given this and the current focus on the Red Ribbon army in Dragon Ball FighterZ, the manga, and the movies, I think it's likely Android 16 will come back some day.

I wouldn't mind that, but I want the franchise to be more ambitious and to stop re-treading its past.

I think that sounds like a great idea, personally. Especially since we're in the middle of a dry spell in terms of content for the series.

Could you link the Kanzenshuu forums thread where they did this so I could take a look?

I quite liked it. You could recognize users, everyone was generally nice, you could leave for a month without feeling like you missed out, conflict wasn't worth it most of the time so you'd see it to a lesser degree than compared to the conflict generated in just the past week, and the vegan community thrived. I actually started having conversations with some Lemmy users outside of Lemmy!

I remember how exciting it was when federation was enabled and the handful of instances could finally hang out together.

It was quiet and peaceful, but drama would happen once every couple of months that was both entertaining and annoying.

You gotta copy the link to the community then paste it into your instance's (lemmy.world) search bar.

As this is a post on Beehaw, I'm going to abide by the rule and omit any unsavory words I was originally going to include ๐Ÿ™‚

Whether intentional or not, the slur filter was one of the most genius things the Lemmy developers have ever done. No one was under any false pretenses that it was the absolute best way of moderating a space. In fact, everyone knew from the get-go that it had its fair share of problems! But it did one thing splendidly: it acted as a barrier against people obsessed with free speech who claim a slur filter is a tool used by some nebulous participants in the current culture war. I'll refer to this comment made by user uabstraction on Hacker News 2 years ago.

Even to this day you see those people using the slur filter as a talking point against the devs, the software, the wider community, etc. even though it hasn't been hard-coded or required for over a year at this point!

Meanwhile, as they continue to avoid Lemmy and prophesize its downfall, the people actually participating on Lemmy are growing a community and just generally vibing! No one is fainting at the thought that they can't say a slur.

Avoiding Hacker News has done wonders for my mental well-being.

Whats stopping someone adding horrific images as a commenter and forcing everyone in the thread to view it?

I agree with you for this exact reason. Lemmy has had its share of trolls in the the past who have abused this feature by posting scat porn in random threads. It makes browsing Lemmy in public scary.

Plus, it makes it easier for people to just spam emotes or GIFs that ultimately lessen the quality of discussions. I've seen many Reddit threads that are just:

You didn't need to switch. You could've followed the same communities on lemmy.ml straight from your Beehaw account. It's one of the benefits of federation.

Yeah live reload is a Lemmy feature, specifically a part of the Websockets API. That API is being deprecated so live reload will go away soon.

Y'all know the drill. Time for this month's reading ๐Ÿ˜Ž

 

Sorry for posting this a day late! Been busy doing nothing.

 

Now that the movie has released theatrically in the United States, feel free to discuss any thoughts or opinions on the film!

Same! So many people are ragging on the CG, but I'm just glad that the Dragon Ball IP is experimenting after so many decades. I'm ready to see what new things they have in store.

Have you kept up with the Super manga, by any chance?
