Wizard: I cast fireball.

DM: You know you’re standing right next to the fighter, right?

Wizard: Did I fucking stutter?

I’ll keep playing my N64 and NES, I might even buy some more used games. But I’ll never give them another dollar.

You would not welcome most of those people anyway.

This isn’t a place for the broad public though. I live in a place that is 75% conservatives and they are not welcome here. It doesn’t work both ways. Either you stay what you are and grow very slowly, or you allow different thoughts. It won’t happen, but Lemmy would quickly outgrow it’s current capacity if it did.

Why is this a surprise?

Additionally, Lemmy would be a hostile place if you happened to be a conservative-leaning Linux user. I know quite a few, but they aren’t on Reddit either.

There’s no possible way this could go badly.

Not a lot of people were making $60k in 1985. And yes, wages today have absolutely fallen behind. I’m not even making $60k now.

Yeah my 15yo son is running an early i7 with DDR3 and a 1660ti at 1080/60 and he plays Roblox and chats with his friends on Discord, watches YouTube. He doesn’t care about upgrades at all and never spends money or buys games or anything.

I don’t spend times on games that need a guide. Put clues in your games if that’s what you’re doing. I work way too much to learn every consequence of in game decisions that aren’t at least hinted at. Reading a guide is just spoiling. Make good fucking games. If you give me a 20 hour gotcha I’ll never play it again and tell others not to bother.

I still play Skyrim and Fallout 4. The games are legitimately better if you exhaust your side quests first. I was just clearing Vault 88 last night.

Not to mention “most people” wouldn’t fit in here or feel welcome. Remember Donald Trump won the popular vote and even those who didn’t vote didn’t feel strongly enough about either side to pick one or the other. It’s not just the US, far right candidates keep gaining popularity in parts of Europe. And I think a lot of people aren’t interested in Star Trek or trans rights. The niche communities have very low levels of activity too. The fediverse just isn’t for everyone.

I hate those fucking cameras in the thumbnail. They went up all over my area last year, hundreds of them and at every major intersection. You can’t avoid them, there are essentially no routes to skirt around them all. The surveillance state is tracking everyone’s movement and financial transactions, and it started before the orange man came into power. The people need to push back and the effort needs to broader than Ds or Rs making the push. If we want to stop a bipartisan surveillance state we need to mobilize We the People.

Interesting info, thank you. It isn’t FOSS so I don’t plan on actively using it but I try to keep my finger on what’s up. I don’t miss Reddit and wish I didn’t need a FB for my job. My account is almost a ghost though and I don’t have it on my phone. I’m sure they still have way too much data on me though.

I say give it three years and blue sky will just be a neolib twitter

I don’t find Lemmy very palatable. I’m still here because I like to hear different perspectives. Lemmy as a whole seems to hate different perspectives, it’s like many go out of their way to keep it closer to a hive mind. 80% of the world’s people would not fit in here. I don’t either, but I don’t give a shit.

Oh, Henry…

It’s like people think FOSS means considerate. It means it’s the wild west, with a few zealous moderators who care way more about respecting femboys than women.

I don’t care if you’re gay one way or the other,but if there’s a free urinal not next to me but you pick the one next to me I’m 100% walking away, regardless of if I’m done or not. I’ve done that many times.
