>>5864095Sorry about that! Only one of us was available today, so we used a copy-paste bot. Those "funky characters" are the kanji of my username. I was translating on the Discord, and they were being copied into stream chat.
>>5870295To comment on this since it's a fairly large but ongoing misunderstanding here, DFS staff did used to do a lot of gatekeeping back in 2020, but that's when things were a lot more sensitive and Delutaya hersel wanted to keep a low profile.
With the first guerilla public stream that she didn't even tell US she was doing, she broke open the cage she'd built around herself, and we finally became able to open up, too.
Now we're essentially an open Discord. The only difference between DFS and the hololive fan servers is that we have a much more complex members-only section than them for obvious reasons. However, we've been making large efforts to improve the quality of life for the non-Fanbox members of the server and act as an information hub since Youtube is TERRIBLE at providing notifications, and Delutaya isn't terribly active on her public twitter.
If there are any other questions about DFS, I'll answer them to the best of my ability. However, I'm going to sleep now, so I'll check the thread (or the next one if this one gets archived) tomorrow.
Otsutaya~
