  • 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).

  • The GreyZone stuff is BS though. Do they even speak Ukrainian in the GreyZone?

    It's legitimate to dismiss commentary about a country from individuals (especially Americans) who can't even be bothered to learn the country's language. So this is not a matter of "priors".

  • I use this community for such discussions.

  • "chill out zone" 🙃

  • Some context on what the community is about would be helpful.

  • Sure, but centre-right (real conservatives, not far right and oligarch shills) should have a voice on Lemmy.

  • Somehow I missed all of their advocacy for genocide.

    Masks off I see.

    I am done here.

  • I don’t how you read that from what I wrote, I just think it’s silly to complain that they are allowed here.

    Would you say the same about neo-nazis? Let's a KKK instance on join-lemmy? You think that's fine?

    so when you dismiss them as pro-genocide scum it gives me the impression that you’ve never engaged seriously with the ideas.

    Don't play dumb. I've been on Lemmy long enough to know their position.

    There were many examples, but aoe particularly stupid discussion was with a tankie trying to explain to me (a Ukrainian) that Ukrainian language in actually not prosecuted in the occupied territories. His reasoning was that in Chechnya locals can use Chechen in addition to russian.

    Tankie scum wish harm to me, my family and fellow citizens (while not knowing Ukrainian or russians and never having lived here). Of course I am going to wish them a grizzly death.

    Staying on the one significant social network built out of those beliefs seems counterintuitive here.

    Tankies are minority. It's not counter intuitive to want a relatively small group of tankie degenerates to be isolated in federated forum system.

    My man, that's exactly what a decentralized, federated network is (you should know this).

    As supporter of genocide you should consider joining another network, as you are not welcome here!

  • If you want a forum where only tankies are allowed, then don't develop your solution on a federated protocol. It's as simple as that.

    Tankie scum culture is largely not tolerated across Lemmy. No sane person wants to hear degenerate rambling about how Stalin was a good guy, denial of russian atrocities committed in Ukraine, denial of giant number of Ukrainians held horrible conditions in internment and praise for Putin (who is not even a communist).

    Don't try to hide behind "existing culture" with your "discrimination against tankies" rehortic.

    When you act like scum (some of the worst), be prepared to be called scum.
