Hey you, my eyes are up here!

Yeah I don’t think it’s entirely useless, it’s mostly useful for filtering out spam posts and unrelated stuff from communities.

Just on a comment/discussion level it feels like it’s not that great.

What annoys me about Reddit-like communities (yes including Lemmy) is that there’s this downvote feature.

The whole idea of these discussion boards is to have… discussions. Well, perhaps not so much this particular sub lol. So it’s annoying when you make a post or reply to someone with a constructive reply or argument, and then people can’t be arsed to actually reply, they just downvote to disagree and move on. It’s like the equivalent of people just going like “lol no” and then walk away.

Frankly it’s a feature that feels like it completely contradicts the point of online forums.

Definitely works.

I tried TikTok once, it really felt like brianrot taking root within minutes.

It’s a shame a few popular online games ruin that image for a majority of awesome communities though. I have a few favorite online games and the communities in them are amazing, even made friends and good memories in them.

Love the game, but stealth definitely was pretty punishing right at the start of the game. That said, it became incredibly easy with the upgrades/unlocks progressing throughout the game, even a bit too easy. Frankly I hope upcoming nerfs don’t make it even easier later in the game.

I think the best solution for early gameplay would be to give a window of opportunity to react to getting caught. this is also an upgrade (Fast Talker or something like that), so you can send Nix to distract the guy. Perhaps it would be as simple as to have that ability unlocked by default.

Add a few more checkpoint saves throughout, or simply an option to save in more places since it’s usually disabled in places you sneak about, and I think most issues around stealth would be fixed.

I was practically forced to move to other platforms, including Lemmy, because Reddit’s way of dealing with things is absolute garbage. Their app is garbage, their ethics are garbage, their admins and moderators are garbage.

In short I got permabanned on the entirety of Reddit after confronting a moderator in my favorite sub violating their own (and Reddit’s) rules and content policy. Which eventually led being banned on the sub by said moderator, and later Reddit got triggered as I was “avoiding a ban” with an alternative account (which happened accidentally).

Since then it’s been impossible to get in contact with admins, and they’ve been autobanning any new accounts I tried to set up. I’ve been trying to appeal my bans dozens of times in the past year, but never get an actual response from an actual admin, I doubt they even have humans working at Reddit at this point. That’s on my 8+ year old account…

Previously I also got permabanned on dozens of subs for commenting in a sub that was supposedly brigading, I didn’t even have any harmful intention or said anything worthwhile of a ban, yet all those completely unrelated subs banned me for “participating” in the brigade thing.

It just shows what absolute trash moderators and admins of Reddit are. They’re all only playing their own little agendas. They’re only destroying their own community with stuff like this. I miss my favorite communities, but I absolutely don’t miss the garbage surrounding it.

I had to Google what the hell endorphins was lol
