I feel like we scare our DM with this sometimes, when he takes a single player into another room to discuss something private and comes back to an in-character discussion over how easy it would be to poison a major NPC
the smell of heavily chlorinated water. i used to spend a heck of a lot of time at the pool when i was a kid, and where i live now there aren’t nearly as many pools, so it’s not something encountered often anymore.
Honestly I sometimes wish the trigger finger was itchier. I think this should have happened back when hexbear was also defederated, but at least it’s finally done with.
These things are the standard for apps nowadays; it’s Connect and other Lemmy apps that are the outliers. I don’t blame that dev for wanting some return on their work, but I am happy that we have so much choice in Lemmy apps that I can choose to use something else instead.
In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it’s not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit’s decisions, I’m here instead of there.
We have heard you. We apologize for the confusion and angst the runtime fee policy we announced on Tuesday caused. We are listening, talking to our team members, community, customers, and partners, and will be making changes to the policy. We will share an update in a couple of days.

Back when we first revealed Hades II at The Game Awards in 2022, we said to expect more information on our plans for Early Access sometime in 2023. It’s time we shed some light on those plans!...
We are looking to pick up some more moderators to help out with !games. Things aren’t too hectic moderation-wise; what we really need is those willing to help with some community engagement. Things like helping find relevant news to post, helping construct pinned discussion posts, and the like....
Not sure yet! I’ve not bought a lot of games recently, but I do enjoy large swathes of the strategy genre. Stellaris, Civ 5 and 6, Terra Invicta, Frostpunk, etc.
Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and “vibe”.
There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There’s a reason I’ve stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone.
I do think they will essentially die. They will morph into completely different websites, but I think they will be around for a long time, and I think their userbase won’t shrink even a bit....
The difference is in obscurity and vanity. Everyone online knows who Musk is, people outside Reddit (and even those on Reddit, some of them) don’t know who Spez is. The scale is different, and so are the severity and publicness of the negative changes. Like hell, a total site rebrand is a pretty noticeable thing.
EDIT: Case in point, everyone refers to him as Spez instead of his name, Steve Huffman.
This mission was a rough one. 3 dreadnoughts and 3 contagion spikes, a real slog and a drain on resources. When this happened we officially declared it a cursed mission.
I have heard the usual “commie” bullshit and that they deny Uyghur genocide / stalin’s crimes etc. I don’t have a negative opinion of them, in fact they are one of the most kind and emphatic people on lemmy so I wanted a bit of background. Thanks!
Those factors are what help identify a “tankie”, among other things. Communists are cool, but apologia of atrocities is not an inherent tenet of communism, despite what some people on the sketchier parts of Lemmy would have you think.
Been seeing a lot about how the government passes shitty laws, lot of mass shootings and expensive asf health care. I come from a developing nation and we were always told how America is great and whatnot. Are all states is America bad ?

Hello World,...
Pre-registered for Boost since it was my go-to Reddit app. It released and auto-downloaded today, and I don't even feel like opening it after coming to like Connect so much.
Title basically says it. Connect offers all of the functions I’d chosen Boost for on Reddit, and there are pretty few bugs for me. Nice job folks.
