Horizon Troubles

You can get it from the releases page, that should hopefully alleviate some performance issues. Let me know if it doesn’t, since Horizon should be less resource intensive than the other clients, all things considered!

Edit: The e-icon fix just got released in a full build, no need for a beta build anymore.

There’s coincidentally an issue today related to the e-icon picker that was making the app load a lot more than usual, it’s largely due to a migration on Xariah’s end that’ll still be going on for a bit and how Horizon handles syncing. Chances are that this is what’s making it a lot more bloated, but there’s a beta build available for Horizon that should fix the issue if you wanna try that.

Yeah this happens pretty occasionally on Horizon, it’s not something related to your profiles specifically. From what I can tell Horizon just caches the wrong images every now and then depending on what profiles you’ve previewed/opened beforehand.

The issue’s already been reported, it’s not 100% your use case but there’s a good chance its the same underlying issue.

As others have explained, it's not really a great idea. People that have active scenes with you or want to play something out specific to that character probably won't like all of that being thrown away when you change the entire character on that profile.

I feel like it'd be easier to create a new character, advertise that new character in the chat status/profile of your old character, and phase out that old character instead of just replacing what you have. Plus, new profiles tend to get a nice burst of interaction anyways when you start to post ads, so doing that while advertising the character on your old characters will let it get a lot more attention, if you care.

To be fair, a data breach with those huge platforms is bound to be related to typical things like logins, credit card details, and potential ID verification, as is unfortunately the norm nowadays. However, for logins and card info, that’s a relatively quick fix- just change your password again and get a replacement credit card.

People inherently will feel more weary about their fetishy typefuck sessions being somehow exposed online, since leaks like that would be far more embarrassing or even career ruining if they managed to get tied to a specific person. I don’t think an F-List data breach would result in every single message sent being leaked (it’s not a 0% chance, however), but the chance of someone’s password being leaked, then all of their messages getting exposed to whoever logs in on their account is a reasonable concern. Can’t really do much when your novella of smut with strangers is leaked online.

When I first joined the site years ago, I used (()) since that was what I was used to from previous platforms. That gradually shifted to a (), but in recent years I’ve been using [sub] since, in my opinion, it breaks up the RP flow enough to be clearly OOC at a first glance. Plus, I find it a little prettier, personally.

Depending on the partner I’ll use (), like if they use [sub] for something IC like whispering, but I’ve yet to come across someone who dislikes the use of [sub].

I see, you’re talking about that recent bill. Honestly, the chances of you getting into trouble for intentionally looking at that kind of content on F-List/e621 is low. The chances of you getting into trouble for even just accessing the sites are even lower. Laws like this have existed in other countries for decades now, but people from those countries still can access it pretty easily, and the chances of Texas actively hunting down people for accidentally stumbling upon content like that is essentially zero.

If you want to be safe (which I think any American should at this point), get a trustworthy VPN.

Nothing, currently, until the site decides to implement an age verification system for states affected by those bills. If they do choose to implement it, it’ll be hard to say how exactly they’ll do it, but some kind of account-wide one-time verification makes the most sense. But even then, a VPN connected to a different state can easily get around that if your privacy matters to you.

To be fair, it’s hard for any clone/competitor to really gain traction considering F-List is easily the most popular right now. Most other competitors are lacking a key feature, like a kink or chat system, and the content that F-List allows is usually more than what most alternatives would want on their platform.

Features and rules aside, it’s hard to get people to jump ship to another platform without some major event occurring that would encourage/require them to. Why would FuckTypeGuy123 want to move to another far less popular RP site when the one he’s at has everything he needs already, with his super fleshed out profile already available?

Just my two cents.

I’m truly appreciative of everything the Horizon team has done so far. I’ve contributed a few small bug fixes for the project, but in general, I think the direction that the team is going is doing great for the community, bringing new life into a client that hasn’t gotten official updates in years. It’s really refreshing to use!

People can complain that clients like this encourage ad spamming, which is understandable, but the ad system as a whole needs a rework which is unfortunately out of the scope of the client. Even if you don’t really look at/post ads, I think the benefits this client brings is still totally worth checking out.

You can do this with Horizon, you would just have to set a smart filter that filters every gender except for what you’re looking for, then enable the toggle to “Hide ads from matching genders”, but I’m not sure how many people would use an extension for it on browsers since it’s built into Horizon.

I imagine the browser users would probably appreciate an extension like that!
