Hey, thanks for adding the instance blocking option. Sadly it doesn’t seem to hold through restarts, it just loses anything I put in there.

You are saying what I’m saying. This is not the traditional view.
Sure, it adds nuance - and if that’s all you care about then you’re all set. But it doesn’t address The Problem, which is painting “races” as monoliths with essential characteristics. Just because you can explain why All X Are Evil, doesn’t solve for it being boring/lame/tending-toward-offensive that they all are. Seems like we dealt with this in other contexts, why not include it in lore?
The thing is, this is still tying culture to race. If there is no racial essentialism to the traits you describe, then there’s no reason to say that some goblin cultures / sub-cultures do understand the concept of property - and disagree with what they understand to be stealing. Etc.
No worries, and thank you!
I have been able to get onto the web interface by doing the password reset trick, after emailing twice about verifying my email and getting no reply. But I don’t seem to be able to log in via apps, like Memmy or WefWef, as they both still say my email is unverified.

Sorry, you’ve probably had a deluge of the same comment. Thanks for the great work!
