You understand you just insulted my entire race of people? Had it not been for the laws of this land, I would have slaughtered you.
But yes.
I take my shitposts very seriously.

Empirical evidence suggests America is cooked…
Toilet humor is the fucking sauce of Borderlands. BL3’s greatest flaws were the insufferable antagonists, the annoying Chosen One kid, and the death of my favorite player character directly caused by her. They might as well put skibidi toilet in BL4 because BL3 had the same kind of contemporary brainrot.
Yes, and we should not give app developers a free pass because “everybody is doing it”.
Hyperbole. It’s obviously not a third of the userbase, or even the recently active ones, but whenever the topic of moderation comes up, there’s always a vocal portion of commenters (mostly of the ML persuasion) complaining about the violation of free speech as they (mis)understand it. It’s been like this ever since Lemmygrad and Hexbear were defederated and piracy@dbzero was blocked instance-wide.
It is the most viable strategy, but we did that with lemmy.world and now a third of the fediverse is screeching about censorship on the largest instance and directly shitting on LW users.
and help grow it
You grossly overestimate the average social media user’s willingness to make an effort to create a Thing when that same Thing already exists in a usable state under a different name; and yes, for the purpose of having a Twitter-like microblog, Mastodon and Bluesky are identical.
if people aren’t able to grapple with that I don’t think they are ready to come here anyways
And they didn’t. It continues happening in real time, and the value gap between Mastodon and Bluesky, from the average social media user’s perspective, continues to grow. Thinking that a handful of libre-minded people can change that is wishful thinking bordering on delusion.
Hell of a first day, isn’t it? Alastair Grey, with an E.
:))))
You seem a little on edge, young man.
“Big company, therefore manipulation” is one hell of an argument my dude
That was part of the reason. I tried explaining Pixelfed to my photographer dad and he completely lost interest when I mentioned instances and equated them to e-mail providers. Non-technical people don’t like having to understand a technical aspect, and the nature of federation can’t be avoided.
Keep in mind that these are the people who stayed on Twitter after it was infested by the musk. They’re leaving because it’s turned into a dogshit service, not because of any kind of moral stance. They won’t choose one service over another because it’s libre or decentralized or community-operated. They’ll flock to one that has a low entry barrier and high population.
Speaking of which: Bluesky is where the people are. The merits of a social media provider are worthless if it has a fraction of the population of a direct competitor.
Just language barriers and general gamer stupidity all around.
I’m pretty sure nationalistic pride is also a factor. Wukong is not just a game they like, it’s their game.
It could work the same way as the three origin stories in CP77: each ending from The Witcher 3 leading to a separate intro story with a time skip before the main game begins.
One of the early Witcher books mentioned that Ciri was given some witcher drugs while she was training at Kaer Morhen, but didn’t undergo the trial of the grasses at Triss’ request.
It makes perfect sense with two of the three endings, and could even work with the third depending on how much CDPR wants to explain the cosmology behind the white frost.
WHY ARE YOU IRONING CLOTHES WITH THE SOUP STOVE?
It’s bonehealingjuice, but ODing on five different kinds of stimulants while CRANKING THE HOOOOOG
“Sentencing”, as in determining a sentence (punishment or remedy) for a crime. Still incorrect, though, since he was only charged at this point, not sentenced.
