Well you have a binary choice. Trump or Biden. Both will fund genocide.

That is absolutely going to happen. I suspect there will be a ton of Apollo and other 3rd party app logos too.

So they wanted a flyover and I did provide them with that, but I also sent them this as a proof of concept for when I can do with just a bit more effort. They abandoned their original intentions and I have free will to do whatever I want now.

Given that Microsoft have been making a noticeable effort with JRPG games I would expect them to do something bigger at this event. Hoping for a world premiers.

Excited to give this game a try. I’ve wanted to try the Persona series for a while.

Linux distros are still an operating system.

Welcome to all you new folks! Water is great!

I would say, it’s less sad and more liberating to be honest with you. I’ll certainly continue to use Reddit in the long term, but it will be much more in frequently than it was in the past. Moving forward I think this is going to be the primary place where I spend my time. It’ll be cool to see it grow from what it was just a month ago.

Right. I’m loving this. It is a huge breath of fresh air. Obviously the people hosting Lemmy.world have to pay for this though. If they put out a subscription that was minimal in cost I would pony up even now with the jank and all. This place is worth investing my time and energy into I feel.

I had an R-Zone when I was younger. It was an absolute piece of shit. My mom found it at a garage sale. We had a racing game that I remember and then I remember like some K-mart ass style fighting game too.

Oh I have all the faith in the world that someone will come up with a solution eventually. I just assume it was never a major priority because of the userbase. With an explosion of users I’m sure they have a 100 things they want to improve and it is just a matter of time.

My only takeaway from all this is that it is obviously way more information was revealed than anyone had hoped. Also this is not a console war thing, but someone over at Sony needs to be fired for that whole redaction debacle. Lol.

That seems to be what basically every person is doing lately. They act like there is no difference between Lemmy and Reddit. Sure, signing up is easy. But understanding subscriptions is a different situation entirely.

It isn’t hard to sign up for. No one is saying that is the case. It gets confusing when people start talking about adding subscriptions from other instances and how you can copy and paste the link and subscribe. That right there is where 95% of the people on the internet stop caring.

If the developers of Lemmy and the wider Fediverse ever get that fleshed out in an intuitive way I think popularity will go pretty fast.

That and long term if there is a way for information to be collectively backed up so that if some owner shuts down an instance everything isn’t gone.

That is exactly what’s happening to me too. It seems to be random. But I’ve started paying closer attention as I navigate around so I’m hoping to maybe identify any consistency and what would be causing it so I can report it.

I was having that same issue.

Well, it’s not a huge mystery or anything…people love the communities they build up. You feel a sense of loyalty to the people and to the idea behind the community.

Dude. Its about power and control. It has little to do with any sense of loyalty. I’m sure there are a few that have some measure of loyalty, but very few mods are doing it because they just love the topic they moderate. They’re doing it because it gives them power and control and they love that. Absolutely no one can convince me otherwise.

I’m guessing this will be a recurring thing that happens in the future where folks get burned out.

How can we contain console war garbage? That would be my biggest suggestion. Right now Reddit PS5/XboxSeriesX subs are basically millions of people pretending they are totally above and too mature to participate in console war nonsense, yet the only posts that gain any traction in a meaningful way are Xbox Vs. Sony posts. Maybe find a balance where major ongoing topics are contained to a weekly thread. So there is a weekly game performance thread, weekly Microsoft/Activision merger thread. Something like that. Otherwise this is just going to be Reddit again in short order.

Mods already are carefully picked and yet slips happen often, if they rush a replacement (which they will have to do if they force new mods) then moderation issues will be a big issue on reddit Reddit admins vet mods? I just assumed it was always a boys club of who knows and likes who in the modding community.
