I feel this with Terraria. Yeah the updates are free and they try many ways to freshen the game up. But, I’m almost begging for the game to land itself in a comfortable level of finishing itself and just polish it off. It is a radically different game when I try it than when I first did back in 2015.
I was a frequent Kbin.social user and I miss it. But also, you have to move on when the end is reached for the foreseeable future. One of the strengths of the Fediverse, is that you can make an account on something like MBin and still interact with Lemmy instances as if you were registered on Lemmy. Anything that makes me use one account and supports cross-platform is a major plus in my book.
Oh and uh maybe some of those running Lemmy, i.e mods, are kind of scummy so I don’t want to be at their mercy if I was just registered to Lemmy.
A lot of us saw this happening way back in 2003. US is not going to leave.
I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.
It is the worst place for anyone with mental instability issues to frequent or seek advice in. Mainly because as we all know, Spez doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s privacy so anyone can just comb through your profile and stockpile ammo from you. Things you wouldn’t tell anyone else - now it’s in their hands. Information you thought was “safe” - now they know.
There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be. Plus, they care about privacy. Like there’s a suicide forum out there that will not let anyone outside, who hasn’t registered anyways, to view the contents of the forum. Does Reddit do that? No, not even if you’re a subscriber!
I don’t see a lot of dietitians, therapists, nutritionists, psychologists .etc spending all of their hard work to get the credentials to be where they want to be, just so they can offer sound and legitimate advice on a platform that doesn’t give a single shit.
Don’t underestimate Reddit coomers. They gots to coom and they’ll pay to coom.
A lot of users on Reddit have an intellectual security. They know that they actually know nothing about anything but treat their opinions as if they’re factual and insightful takes on issues and situations they likely never have experience or knowledge in. So they apply that, while looking at Google on the side or thumbing up other threads with similar situations to gather a response.
There’s nothing to be afraid of with saying ‘I don’t know’ but that doesn’t exist in their vocabulary, so rather than saying that, they demonstrate how little they actually know. And when confronted and contested by people who do know, that insecurity comes out and they flip into being a pretentious shit mongerer who’s got to now antagonize everyone around them in any way, because their insecurity is beaming for everyone to see.
They can’t handle anyone who’s more educated than they are. I guess they got to put that GED into use somehow.
