  • I think it depends on your interpretation of “language” in 5E. I could see someone interpreting common and under-common being as similar as English and British English

    Rangers and Rogues are two classes that are generally interpreted as being better traveled which I would say is the argument for having that many languages. PCs are also very different from NPCs, any character that you play is already exceptional, so having more money, more skills, more languages is to be expected. Also, it’s not entirely unrealistic, there’s tons of bilingual/trilingual people in the real world, I bet you know words and phrases in multiple languages. I know you’re already fluent in English

    Although, I don’t know if this is RAW or commonly accepted home brew but generally anything under 3 INT isn’t considered capable of understanding language and if you roll a character that dumb I’d argue they shouldn’t be capable of speech


  • I would interpret them as additional languages. First and foremost, thieves’ cant isn’t a language per se. It’s more of a series of code words and phrases to access shady parts of society. There may be local flavors, but it’s all generally similar regardless of the language you speak. Gaining one additional rare language is barely even a boon. Comprehend Languages is a 1st level spell. Unless language barriers are a significant part of your campaign, everyone is just going to be speaking common and frankly most players forget that they have other languages on their sheet anyway



  • How would you federate something ephemeral? I’ll admit I don’t understand the specific techinals of federation but what stops another platform from hosting your content locally after it has supposed to have been deleted? It seems like the two goals of the platforms are diametrically opposed



  • Unfortunately, yeah. The more you let people walk over you the more comfortable they get doing it. Being blunt is a good way to stop that kind of behavior, when someone is rude asking direct questions like “why are you saying that about them?” makes people uncomfortable and will get them to stop dragging you into drama. Especially in today’s American climate people feel emboldened to attack people they see as “weak” so you need to not appear “weak” and (this is the much more difficult part) stand up for everyone else who the bullies are targeting

    I get what you’re saying but so far in my experience here the vast majority of AI content is at least identified as such. AI content is here to stay and in my opinion attempts to remove/ban it will just make it more insidious. If you go back to Reddit AI posts/comments are everywhere and absolutely none of it is labeled. On lemmy people get to choose to interact with it which I think is probably way better
