Bernie Sanders’ Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas | Motherboard
As Donald Trump continues to ride roughshod over much of the United States, there’s multiple reports that Trumps’ virtual fans are riding roughshod on Bernie Sanders’ unofficial headquarters in Second Life as well. Sanders’ spot is in the sim (Second Life region) of Caspoli, located here, with a Bernie 2016 banner that can be seen from satellite. It’s a Roman-themed hangout space in a peaceful meadow, where Bernie supporters often gather to share news of their favorite candidate. But lately, the place has been besieged by pro-Trump griefers. I first read a report of anti-Bernie griefing from roving furry reporter Bixyl Shuftan (yes, that’s a thing) and found out it wasn’t an isolated incident:

Second Life still is a thing? I thought it was like MySpace or the Space Jam website, a relic of the old web.Report

I have a friend who is really kind of a driftless slob. He met a girl who is also kind of a driftless slob. Together, they slob in marital bliss. They live in relative destitution with neither of them being able to hold down a job. But they’re happy. They do karaoke on weekends. Watch lots of anime together.
In other news, Twitter is apparently in talks with Yahoo about merging.Report
That’s because SL came out when paying up-front for stuff on the internet was still something people were willing to do.Report
My impression is that Second Life used the Fremium model.Report
Internet trolls and political campaigns.
More entertaining than Leroy Jenkin’s MMORPG videos.Report

It cost like $75 a head to get photographers into the party.
Trolls just gotta take pictures.Report

Is the reporter a furry? Or someone who focused on furry news?
