staunch communist, Newsom.

Lol.

16 years ago, that was Reddit for me.

Guess we’ll see.

You mean someone with a 2 year old account? You know what instances existed 2 years ago?

Reddit 2.0. Always has been.

This is the direction the big companies are looking to move in. This is the direction Microsoft is banking on, too. Even if you like one service more, the end result may be the same. It’s a matter of time before we see subscription exclusives.

GamePass subscribers are the pre-orderers and mtx consumers of yesteryear, normalizing the industry to practices harmful to general consumers.

It’s sad that this type of comment can be and is often spun as “antisemitism”

Israel immediately declared a state of war, launching air attacks on Gaza in retaliation, killing over four hundred Palestinians, most of them civilians. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to “take mighty vengeance” against Palestinians, calling Gaza a “city of evil” and vowing to turn it into “cities of ruins.” Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant has already approved a sweeping call-up of reservists.

In the West Bank, the Palestinian town of Jenin is still reeling from the devastation of a recent unsparing Israeli attack, which left the town a razed ghostland. The small town of Huwara has yet to recover from the deadly horrors unleashed by settlers on its residents.

So far this year, Israel’s military forces have killed over two hundred Palestinians in the West Bank.

To make life hell for Palestinians, settler mobs and far-right gangs, backed and emboldened by Israel’s ultranationalist government, have been sowing terror and wreaking havoc among Palestinians, burning villages and houses, lynching and killing civilians with impunity.

In Jerusalem, Israeli soldiers and security forces have allowed the settler mobs to run amok, evicting Palestinian families by force and occupying their homes. During the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, settlers stormed into the Al-Aqsa Mosque complex in Jerusalem, staging provocative tours, harassing and beating worshippers, and spitting on Christians.

I would love to hear the average Lemmy/Reddit liberal comment on this. I wonder if they’ll remember their outrage as the civilian casualties rise in the coming months, especially if they maintain the asymmetry that has characterized this conflict for decades. Will they justify it as “collateral”?

they’re just not representative of the general population.

Good. If I wanted the general population, I’d scroll Facebook

centrists understand the issues but don’t think an extreme left/right solution is the answer

Think they do but typically show their ass as being completely ignorant of leftist politics.

but elements from both sides should be considered.

Rarely, and typically more so the right.

"I don’t like Reddit.

Its interface is ugly as sin. There are fewer users there and they’re all pretentious, extremely liberal, and anti American."

Yeah there was a little bit of that in the original WW2 games: CoD 1-3 and the expansion games and console exclusives.

There are so many other instances you can choose then.

This is literally just bait and has no place in this community. Moderators should delete this on that grounds alone.

If it’s allowed, then I wouldn’t begrudge any Hexbear user(s) from spamming the comm with random political theory posts, especially those of the communist variety

Ultimately Lemmy may not be the software now to do what you want for your community. Federation may also not be the right thing for a community of your ethos. Maybe the simplest solution is complete defederation and build the community in an environment you can completely control, even with the limits Lemmy current provides with it’s software. Come back to the fediverse when you feel the software matches the ambitions, but in the meantime build the community you want.

This is it and what they’ve always really wanted in my eyes, but the userbase here and in their communities still values federation so they don’t want to actually make that jump.

The rules and culture of this instance demands centralization, not federation. They might as well just make their own site.

I don’t love the drama and FUD about the platform and devs.

Getting Over It with Bennett Foddy

Now, it’s kind of the point. But I don’t know if it was my mouse or what but I found the controls to be too poorly implemented with how difficult of a game it already is. Sometimes, the hammer would basically glitch out or would apply way more pressure relative to my movements and fling me back down to the button. It served as an element of frustration that I think goes against the design goals. I’ve seen speed runs that make me think it could have been my hardware, but I’ll never know. Actually, remembering, I think I switched to a different mouse eventually that was better but still not great.

I also just didn’t really ever buy into the premise. I know it’s an ode to B games, but the piling of random assets is not what I would consider good design even if they serve the purpose of what the game is going for. There are plenty of difficult video games that are about perseverance but still put in the effort in level design, mechanics, controls, etc.

Tbh, I found it an interesting enough experiment with failed execution. I don’t understand people who hold it up as one of the better “art” games in the medium.

After you scroll through active, use hot, use new, use new comments.

It’s not going to be a direct Reddit replacement after just growing its userbase to that of a small subreddit.

Might as well say Beetlejuice three times

Reddit was no different from 2005 ~ 2009/2010

Edit: and honestly. Still.

And I think we’re aware things won’t happen quickly, but that doesn’t mean we have to be uncritical of capitalist politicians who are also actively hostile to leftism.

Also every inherently flawed, means tested, half measure liberal policy that gets confused for leftism (like Obamacare, which was based on Heritage Foundation ideas) just makes it harder to get support on the left.
