to this day I still don't call myself right-wing

welp m8
not to bother ya but you might as well just adopt the label now, for people like the ones mentioned in your post you will always be that and hey we are willing to recieve you with open arms.

plus the more you interact with leftoids and the "moderate" scum the more you'll understand why both groups are nothing but snakes and subversive evil people

besides that tho, great post i'll probably share it around tomorrow

as always, glad to have you here

Better hope your users are generous enough to donate to you.
I don't know how many servers they have but from the sounds the main cost is paying employees.
If you wanted to "maintain integrity" you'd probably have to sell merch pretty much year round, and even then your profit margins would be basically non-existent cause of the cost of manufacturing.
I don't think you could really do it without ads.
Maybe an alternative would've been him podcasting? Podcasters/streamers get pretty lucrative sponsorship deals so that would've been a decent boost to the sites revenue, and a new way for him to attract more people who don't love the forum/website formats.

speaking and maybe a bit off topic but how are you doing in that front?

is everything okay?
maybe i should come up with something to help you that way

I always think getting news way faster is pretty pointless when comes to content. Seeing as most gaming news article barely give you any detail you actually want to know, especially with newer games. All you ever see on gaming sites is this game is getting release and that's about it. With launch windows of like 5 year, sometimes it becomes even more pointless to announce something quickly.

I avoid those like Niche Gamer, seeing as they have done the same kinda style of censorship Niche gamer is now known for. Noisypixel is what I sometimes use for game related stuff, Nekomagic for figures, and I'm not into gacha because I think it is a waste of time and money if you pump money for instance into it. And Soranews24 for Japan and weeb stuff. Also noteworthy is Frontline Gaming Japan.

In general, I don't buy all that much anime content anymore, and if I want to play it I pirate it, seeing as all I'll be doing is funding the mental cases behind the scenes.

this might sound a bit schizo but i think having different sites publishing the news at different times helps to keep the fire of disscusion going for a longer time, instead of being bombarded in a matter of hours and then being burned out you are constantly being reminded about the topic and keeping the discussion going

at least that's what i think

Well, at least they realized where they went wrong.

Not quite, they are pretending that's what they said in the first place.

Even if I adopt the label, not all of my values align with all right-wingers. That's kinda my point; I am me, with my own opinions, regardless of what anyone says.

I don't interact with Marxists and Centrists™ as a rule. They're a waste of time.

eh could always be better but the bills get paid and the sites stay online.
Both the servers atm are pretty low on space, so I'm pretty focused on trying to get varis.social done so we can basically reset the pleroma server. I imagine most people don't care about preserving their posts so lots of space should be saved by deleting the unmigrated posts, and being able to wipe the DB.

That'll also give me a chance to basically fresh install the server since it was setup pretty poorly from me not knowing wtf I was doing back then.

Main issue is I just don't have anything to offer to people to give them a reason to donate/spend money on Varis. After varis.social is in 1.0, I'll see if theres anything interesting I can offer people to make a bit more money for the sites.

Asmongold and penguinz0 are pretty much exactly why everyone with a brain should hate them, like it ain't really adding anything unique to the discussion lol.
