@lydiaconwell What do they mean by that? All I do is rage posting.
@Cal As I said, you can capture the player's input and do whatever processing you need between keystrokes. The problem I see is in managing the interaction. Can you really give any meaningful feedback to the players while they're still typing? The answer is yes, but my point is that you should do it in a way that does not become annoying.
Anyway, don't let my doubts discourage you. I don't really understand what you're trying to do, so it's natural that I can't see it, but that doesn't mean it isn't a good idea.

@Cal How would that work? Changing the game's state while the player is typing makes no real sense, because they can only be notified about said changes once they entered a command, which means changes have to be made as part of the processing of the previous command or of the response to the current one. That functionality is already there. It is the basis of Inform, even.
I can think of ways to simulate real-time events in Inform 6 (I assume I7 retains the same functionality), like capturing the input character by character (like Adam Cadre did in _Shrapnel_ where it worked wonderfully), but in general that seems to me like an unintuitive/unfriendly mechanic from the player's POV. I may be wrong, of course.
@kaia Earlybird is easy to sort out: those who were around before the migration to Pleroma. That's a very clear cutoff date.
I may be wrong, but I think @Moon's idea for these badges is to make them automatable (that is, not subjective or dependent on popularity). That would disqualify the Pillar of the Community award, even though sim definitely deserves it.
On the other hand, there could be some kind of annual event (online or offline) where the community could give those kinds of badges away.
I believe pay is directly proportional to how hard it is to hide the fact that one's own job is useless or even harmful to society. That would explain essential workers having such low wages. What's tragic is that we value our own work according to this principle, and that's why cleaners feel useless while hedge-fund managers think of themselves as essential.
@kaia They say the same thing about every generation. This particular one just got more creative with the headlines, but “People don't want to work anymore” has been a capitalist mantra for more than one hundred years.
Anyway, I'll leave this here:
@evan “A multiplicity of political parties inhibits democracy.” “A multiplicity of choices inhibits the economy.” Evan, I understand AP was your creation, but stop embarrassing yourself. Just take the (fair) criticism and move on.
What was that quote about those who advanced a field when young becoming the biggest obstacles to its progress when old?
@charadon What's so difficult about getting a cloak in Libera.chat? You just join a particular channel, ask for the cloak and you're set forever.
@santiago La verdad es que le salen fenomenal. No sé cómo sabrán, pero tienen una pinta estupenda.
@ErickaSimone There are already similar efforts like @anonradio and @jnktn_tv, if you want to check them out.
@smxi You can look also into @Liberapay. It's sort of the Fediverse's choice for this kind of thing.
@lydiaconwell It means JSON Web Token. You may know it from standards like OpenID Connect or OAuth 2.0. The latter's responsible for allowing you to “Log in with your Google account” to unrelated websites.
@lydiaconwell The creator of the format pronounces it like that. But if you get this incensed about the correct pronounciation of gif, I'd like to introduce you to my friend JWT, aka Jot.
@lydiaconwell Maybe that's why they started saying SanFran.
@vaartis That I would miss you.
@nachocarreras Tampoco significa nada. Yo sigo aquí.
