• Café Life is the Colony's main hangout, watering hole and meeting point.

    This is a place where you'll meet and make writing friends, and indulge in stratospherically-elevated wit or barometrically low humour.

    Some Colonists pop in religiously every day before or after work. Others we see here less regularly, but all are equally welcome. Two important grounds rules…

    • Don't give offence
    • Don't take offence

    We now allow political discussion, but strongly suggest it takes place in the Steam Room, which is a private sub-forum within Café Life. It’s only accessible to Full Members.

I’m used to seeing disingenuous notices on websites saying “We care about your privacy…” or “We take your privacy seriously…” - usually just before they make you sign all your rights away..,. you’ve probably see these notices, too.

Google is complaining that Litopia prevents it from reading and indexing (and one assumes from also feeding into its own AI large language model). It gives a visual snapshot of how little data here it can actually index, shown below. The green data can be seen and indexed by Google, the far larger grey area can’t. Sorry, Google :)

Anyway, we really do care about your privacy – and here’s the proof!
