TheSpookiestUser

People that don’t check what community a post came from on their home feed and just upvote it if they like it.

Full disclosure: that was me just now until I opened the comments, realized, then took it back. It’s very easy to miss sometimes

Isn’t the way it works now also a debate winner? The blocked user can reply to you and you won’t even know, so you can’t refute whatever they’ve said (and if you’ve blocked them there’s decent odds it isn’t good).

In my DnD group, my goblin wizard still holds the honor of being the only party member the DM has used Power Word Kill on.

I’m honored.

Baldur’s Gate 3.

I played through one single player save and two multiplayer ones with different groups, enjoyed it all - but only got a little ways into Act 3 on any one save. A combination of middling performance with my older rig and just having sank so much time in I burnt out a little.

Still think it’s a fantastic game, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to finish it - I feel like I’d have to start a whole new save.

Not relatable

behold, the infinite malignity of the stars!

At least with Lemmy it plainly is a Reddit clone. That’s not an insult, it’s just a fact. It has upvotes/downvotes, posts sorted into discrete communities that are volunteer made and run, crossposting, similar sorting options, and if you go to your own profile on Lemmy it displays your date of join as a “cake day”. The similarities are both obvious and intentional.

I think Lemmy needs to add more unique features Reddit never had. The federation model is very novel and fundamentally different but also can be confusing. It needs more than just that to be different.

(I can’t comment on Kbin as much because I don’t use it.)

ROCK AND STONE YOU BEAUTIFUL DWARF

I miss wizardposting

Personally I’d love to be the subject of a philosophical problem so I’d say he’s probably pretty stoked

If you are going to keep trying to avoid the actual point I’m making by conveniently refusing to read or acknowledge the post I’ve linked, then there’s nothing more to say.

…Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.

https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.

It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.

You know, if that’s truly the only reason and it turns out I’m wrong I’ll gladly eat that L, and it would be a relief. I’ve just heard some iffy things specifically about it all.

EDIT: it’s stuff like this that I’m talking about.

A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.

But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.

Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?

Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies

What does the ml stand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…

I don’t need Lemmy to compete with or kill Reddit. All I wanted was any one platform to get enough of an influx of users to be self-sustaining even after the outrage started to die down, which appears to have been successful.

I hope that the mod-user relationship will be healthier here. (Bias, I was a reddit moderator.)

Some reddit mods were crap, this is true. Powermods and sub collectors were real. They did shit up a few communities.

But these people were a very small proportion of all moderators. Most moderators I met were chill, and just wanted to chip in to their respective communities to give back, in a way. Volunteering for internet janitor duty, because no matter how much people use the term as an insult it turns out public spaces need janitors - or they get filled with shit, trash, graffiti (and not the cool kind either, mostly badly drawn swastikas). It’s not a position that should be glorified, or anything, because that’s weird, but I hope that some semblance of basic respect can be maintained here on Lemmy - both ways, meaning no powermods but also no defaulting to assuming mods suck.
