If the admin are in cahoots with the crypto mining douchebag, then no part of the site is safe.

Sorry, he’s out of the shower now.

You’re missing Voyager and Lemmios.

Until the next big social media fuck up, which neither Spez nor Musk can stop themselves from making.

You’re just here early, and the platform still needs work. It hasn’t even hit 1.0 yet.

I think we’re going to be seeing new waves of Reddit users on a fairly regular basis. Steve Huffman likes to roll these things out slowly in drips and drops, and it is very unlikely that this move alone will make reddit significantly more profitable to run. If he wants to do an IPO soon then he’s going to need to make some more choices that really annoy the users (banning porn seems like an obvious one, even though he’s said something like he’s fighting to keep porn on reddit). They’re going to keep cracking down in dumb and obvious ways on things and redditors will abandon ship just as soon as something they care about gets in some way messed with.

Don’t forget that redditors have left reddit in large chunks dozens of times in the past.

But you can block whatever communities you want. I’ve blocked a lot of different communities that have content I don’t like, and now they’re not in my feed.

I joined because I still want the same content without the asshole owner. I’m here for the different power structure, not because I hated Reddit’s content.

Because this is donation-funded. Having a big audience is the only thing that can ensure financial stability long term.?

And I don’t think content that is funny rather than informative is inherently bad or less important. There’s nothing wrong with this place being fun and not just some stuffy content classroom.

Right now those communities are more important than ever. They are what’s going to bring more people here and grow the fediverse. I don’t want to start hiding popular content at a time when Lemmy most needs to be popular.

Everyone’s definition of bottom of the barrel will be different, and nobody’s personal content preferences should be forced on the community as a whole. If you really dislike those communities that much you can block them.

I think there are better ways to highlight smaller communities and grow them more organically, like a community dedicated to new and small communities (sorry if I fucked up that link, I’m new here) could highlight a new community each day worthy of our attention. Reddit used to have a subreddit of the day.

Right now the number one thing federated social media needs is just more users. I worry they’ll feel discouraged if they stop seeing the content that gets the most upvotes right now.

Idk it seems like a problem that will sort itself out as Lemmy grows, and artificially limiting how many posts from a community can reach the front page seems like a suboptimal solution that’s going to have unintended consequences down the line.

I think this is a case of the people most likely to receive the message being the least likely to need it. At the very least it’s a good twitter thread to keep in your back pocket should you encounter someone complaining that some other RPG doesn’t match up to BG3.

This is why I never run. It’s just not safe.

It would have meant that the companies operate separately inside the UK, but even that now appears to be settled: https://twitter.com/jordannovet/status/1678791895449841665

Squenix has been running at full speed from their turn based combat roots. I don’t mind turn based combat, but I also can’t blame them. DMC was a very cool game and it’s cool to get that guy to make your combat (although it feels more like a copy and paste than anything new or different).

What really bugs me is that the story is so heavily inspired by Game of Thrones and the combat is ripped out of DMC. That’s what leads me to feel like this lacks the FF identity. It feels like they learned the wrong lessons from 15, that they think party-based and open world are no longer feasible concepts. Game of Thrones is super popular (back in 2015 when they started working on this) so lets just do everything they do.

Final Fantasy had concepts beyond the mechanics that were fairly universal game to game: a conflict between the natural world and a cyberpunk world built on top of (and killing) it. I feel like too much of the franchise’s identity was lost in this, and what we got in return is a crappy knock off of Game of Thrones with Devil May Cry 5’s combat stuck in it.

No problem. I just hope that soon these instances will support pulling thumbnails from the articles to give the links a richer presence here. They’re all so uniform and ugly right now.

Oh weird, adding a picture killed the link. Lemme see if I can fix that.

Sorry, I’m new here.
