gollark: I installed that web-based client thing, it should still be running in docker.
gollark: I used IRC a while ago. I wonder if my client thing is still running.
gollark: It's annoying, but... probably inevitable... that we're using Discord instead of some decentralized platform.
gollark: Yes, narrowly defined "good".
gollark: > Starting next week, we’ll begin to use our in-product screens and our blog to raise awareness of anti-racist causes and encourage you to take concrete action, such as calling on local officials to advocate for police reform.If they *actually* add political nag screens to Discord-the-application and not just Discord-the-blog, I am probably going to need to... adjust my adblocker rules?
