  • I actually remember hearing about this when it came out.

    Kinda freaky to think that 2012 is retro these days.

    Thanks for sharing!

  • Heard about this on Reddit.

    In the last two months I've been walking a lot more (aiming for 30K steps over day, although my average has been closer to 20K).

    Will have to check this out.

  • Surprised compliance with the principles was as high as it was.

  • I am surprised this wasn't ported to PC.

  • Reals of Chaos

    I was wondering why the name sounded so strange (more so for the 90s). Turns out it's "Realms of Chaos".

  • As I said, I see where you are coming from and you do have a point.

    I am just trying to explain the reasoning behind the opposing arguement. It's not just being old school for the sake of being old school.

    The forums of old weren't not just a few hundred users. Some of the bigger ones had DAUs in the tens of thousands.

  • I agree with you that all mainstream platforms (FB, Twitter, Reddit - this just the ones I have experience with) work like that.

    Believe it or not, but there still exist modern forums with large user bases (stable or growing), so it's not like it's an archaic model.

    It's fair to criticise Lemmy for using this approach. I genuinely see where you are coming from. But if we approach Lemmy as an evolution of old style forums, then the "hide" approach makes more sense.

    With admins, mods (not relevant for default UI?) actively dealing with mass downvotes, stalker-like behaviour and so on.

    Part of the adoption of the dual-side block method is because large corps want automation and don't really care about quality (all about engagement).

  • I liked Blue Shift the most, I just wish it was longer.

  • I would actually say OP should remove the [satire] tag. Good satire is when it's difficult to figure out whether you are making fun of the topic or agreeing with it.

    Adding a [satire] kills the whole comedy vibe.

  • Replacing LW with another option works too.

    I strongly believe any discussion around federation/centralization should be avoided when bringing in new users. They will figure it out themselves and if they feel like it make adjustments accordingly.

  • LW is fine. This a community dedicated to a niche video-game genre. The community already existed, just had very few posts.

  • Thanks!

  • I am good on American commercial services. I am not joining Bluesky.

  • Thanks!

    No worries, I honestly like the forum format more.

    I am just curious if I am missing something. Mastodon has x20 MAU of Lemmy, yet I get much more engagement/sub growth on Lemmy. The niche nature of the topic should have a comparable impact on both platforms, there is nothing about Lemmy that would boost popularity of tycoon gaming discussions relative to baseline.

    Could the fact that I am using a smaller Mastodon instance have an impact?

  • I strongly suspect this was AI slop.

    Best option would be to send all pro-genocide Hexbear users to the camps in Xinjiang (as per their claims nothing bad is happening, so they shouldn't have any issues with this).
