    Back when I mained Lulu in League oh say roughly a decade ago, they were fun to play because their shield could also be used as an attack that set you up for an easy slow. Paired with the right teammate, that combo did in many an enemy AC. I also enjoyed getting a bunch of items with cooldowns that did things like speed us up for chases or add temporary shields, and an ult that - used right - temporarily interrupted and stunned the enemy in addition to adding some health.

    Those kinds of dynamics, where you’re buffing your team at the right time to secure kills in addition to healing them, made being designated support my preferred role.

    Lol, the AI effect in practice - the minute a computer can do it, it’s no longer intelligence.

    A year ago if you had told me you had a computer program that could write greentexts compellingly, I would have told you that required “true” AI. But now, eh.

    In any case, LLMs are clearly short of the “SuPeR BeInG” that the term “AI” seems to make some people think of and that you get all these Boomer stories about, and what we’ve got now definitely isn’t that.



  • Great question! The reason for this poll is to ask if people feel that’s enough.

    On a personal level, it’s not - as mentioned above, I hit more services and people I’d like to support than it’s reasonable to do a patreon/ko-fi for each, and it ends up being partially random chance on who gets support. But I’m curious if that’s a problem for other people’s on the Fediverse, and what they think about it if so - or if there are other problems we’re not even tracking on.

    More loosely, the concept we’re playing with looks at the servers you interacted with and splits your monthly budget among them automatically, dropping the manual “will I subscribe to this server’s patreon?” or “will I make a donation today?” steps needed right now. But as far we know right now, that’s just solving me and Punty’s problem - it’d be cool to know other people saw this problem too.


  • Thanks for the response!

    A buddy of OP here who also worked on subless, for context. From my perspective, already lemmy.world publishes “how to donate” text, as do other servers, so the servers are kind of step one. Then there’s the actual developers writing the software behind them. After that, there’s creators that pop up in Fediverse communities who post their patreon links, ko-fi, etc. These are all people doing serious work that I’d like to support, and is in some cases more than you can just kind of do in your free time. So that’s where the drive comes from, for me.
