@lewcyyi u never told me that first of all and secondly both of these posts were yesterday. stfu and leave ME alone, i got the message

as wolfie said, pollenation, they also serve as food sources vor hundreds of species. not to mention ofc there are diff types of mosquitos that develop over time in different regions

2 things to remember: they exisg for a reason and they survived for a reason
i think a lot of people struggle with the shortsightedness of "it annoys me so its bad, and the facts that insects dont inherently want to harm you. theyre just biomechanical processes trying to survive. aware? maybe. sentient? debatable no (ofc this doesnt apply to animals, crabs especially are veryy smart)

@Apollo.Is.Silly comment was satire.
ofc im gonna get cringed out that youre posting lyrics from an artist whos literally notorious for making songs for emo teens to plea over, ESPECIALLY when ur doing the same shit i did at a way younger age
nobody is attacking you. if you were really that bothered you couldve ignored me.

I mainly mocked you because i think this post shows how messed up the bdns community really is right now. I think the effort put into posts should extend further than just copy pasting lyrics about watching your ex die in your head. Is that a high bar? Am I asking for too much of you to just come up with something?

@Yuni-Just-weird firstly, wasnt a girl
second, okay? how is this supposed to upset me
third, the entire POINT is that both situations were immature asl

literally the point is we got 15 year olds hitting the same emo preteen moves i did 3yrs ago over a videogame breakup

u usually seek mental help for that not forum members on a website designed for chatting about tech and hobbies

bdns users trying to come up with any content of substance:

im so brockcne i reposatd lyricsr frmo a sad sogn
so reateabel

(listened to this song at 13 after i got depressed over a roblox breakup. bit old for that arent we?)

I don't mean 'what's the best genre to you', I'm curious as to what genre of music we can all definitively agree is great no matter who's listening to it.

Something just so irrefutably good that either an emo teenager or 90 year old grandfather could listen to and both enjoy themselves lol

n hey, clearly she values u enough to keep u around even after that so.

remorse is the first step brodie. doesnt change what u did but if it changes how u continue in the future thats what matters. just make it abundantly clear ur sorry

@Maditalian this is oppressive censorship and u know it raven. WHERES MY 4TH AMENDMENT RIGHTS

let us talk on BDSM DNS

this also runs into my earlier post but i didnt mention this in specific at the time
ty for mentioning this :)

@소준 naaah, switch is still perfectly viable dw

@LadySkater although still true i find that perspective to be a little shortsighted. from what ive observed from bdns over the 2 years ive been on this platform is that when users share their interests and hobbies to an active extent activity stretches across the board, not just the same group of repeat users but new users are also retained for longer, but as of recently accounts have just been made and discarded like wildfire. it's hard to get into a community when it's all tight-knit and inside references that anyone outside might not understand. however, returning to my original point, when creativity degrades, so does userbase, and thats definitely been happening lately, as it has in the past. there's always a brief bounceback, but i think that it's much more reasonable to make a little change to ensure we're always able to ride that 'high' of activity and engagement, rather than cycling through it

@phantemxtx mm, how do you intend to do so?

@Party_Poison id actually be interested in posts about graphic design honestly. like "tips i wish i knew when starting" etc

@Party_Poison Well ofc im not saying that ur the issue lol, i mean ive only posted thrice. I'm moreso talking about th3 BDNS community as a whole, not just u

@Party_Poison no, im saying that there needs to be more discipline in what gets posted. the problem with bdns right now isnt whats being posted, its just how frequent it is. obviously we all need an outlet to be weird/silly but thats been the predominantly only thing on BDNS for a good year at least. im not asking for a full eradication of what people are already posting, im asking for balance

@Yanderemenhera used to. the only reason it isnt current is because the ads were too invasive and compromising for switch users. although, otherwise i wouldnt blame him, running 3 DNS servers across the world and a forum, along with his numerous other proets isnt easy and hes fully entitled to capitalize where he can. hell, he could do it right now and not care about the switch users, but he's not doing that which goes to show how good of a developer he really is

Title says it all. The platform is slowly phasing out relevance.
But who would I be to call out an issue without naming a solution?

First of all, we have to get to the why;

-The content produced by users is typically shorter term anecdotes rather than actually being of substance or reeling interaction
-Users make the atmosphere uninviting by not allowing certain nieches or introductions for new users
-The general concept of a "forum" has been lost. This website wasn't designed to post about face reveals or icebreakers, it was made to host topics, especially towards the concept of BDNS and how to move forward with it

How YOU can help:

-Post about your interests! Share quirky things that you're well educated on and can share, no matter how "out there" it might feel
-Host cordial debates, not ones that cause toxic arguements, ones that are conducive to problem-solution oriented mindsets
-Keep generalized points of interest in designated areas, particularly in shoutbox, etc
And most importantly:
-Share your ideas! Tell us all what you think would make BDNS a better platform moving forward. From what i can gather, the developers & admins really value feedback, so share it! Every little contribution helps, and you definitely have the power to influence the future of this platform

Make a change, for the better :)
