It's stressing me out to leave communities that are relevant to it unblocked. The sheer cynicism is affecting my mood and I'm having to block all communities about real life news of any kind for personal health, so I am wondering if anyone considers "A Boring Dystopia, but instead of being boring, it's edgy or (at best) a cool workaround for corporate internet BS." a deserving project to continue? I plan to remain lead mod but give the first new moderator free reign; I wouldn't be asking this if I had any intention of ever pulling anything stupid like deleting it on a whim, I think I would like to see it continue but in better hands than my own.

I can't take reading about how the world is collapsing every fucking day, if anyone wants a mod position and has experience, DM me and I'll give you free reign with an exception for banning me from A Nerdy Dystopia (I will keep the main moderator position to prevent this). Shouldn't be that hard to run a community like this if you're used to A Boring Dystopia's posts, it's basically this but the posts are about subverting corporate control or about how non-boringly evil some people are. I just want to relax and can't run a community like A Nerdy Dystopia without getting stressed by all potentially-relevant content.

Apparently this was missed, so for posterity I'm cross-posting it. Sadly, this is old news, not actually a new update. Still a good feature, though.

GTX is an RPNation fandom RP that takes place in a heavily-modified version of the official lore of Glitch Techs, that adds in a backstory that places Hinobi and PLixel Technology as originating in the aftermath of WWII (PLixels were used to defeat Japan rather than nukes, much more humane and less lethal than you might be imagining, this isn't a grey goo kind of story) and the existence of many fictional megacorps from across fiction.

It includes a lot of references; Krei Tech and Buy'n'Large are as canon as Arasaka and Vault-Tec in GTX's weird mish-mash, but leaning heavily towards the former because this is a very lighthearted and pro-escapist RP with a general theme of "scummy business practice doesn't pay" as Hinobi's monopoly arose due to extensive abuse of legal loopholes by Hinobi's competitors, who are usually corrupt megacorps from stories less optimistic than Glitch Techs that went bankrupt trying to act like they did in their source material. Among the other survivors are Innovative Online Industries (headed by a lookalike of Ratchet from the CGI movie Robots), microDyne (a merger of Cyberdyne Systems who created SkyNet, and microTech from Star Citizen) and - due to being a new introduction - Volpe who is a new company founded after the majority of others went out of business.

Anyway, feel free to read and join if you're interested.
