I think this may be the best idea so far actually. I’m not sure I have the time or passion to revive a dead community or start a new one, at least not for this particular subject.
Although I appreciate the other ideas of where to put that community if it ever does get big enough to split off.
Which of these are the Facebook ones?
No idea who any of these people are. I guess I’m officially old.
I’m guessing we won’t be as concerned about that as Russia and Chinese meddling got some reason…
True, true. It’'s a good coming of age story in that way. You don’t see him grow up physically, but in maturity, confidence, wisdom, and least importantly, ironically enough, power. I say least importantly, because it’s the growing in wisdom that helps him defeat the Emperor in the end, not his cool force powers (although that does make the movies more fun to watch).
Fallout 4. I just stopped for some reason. I think I was close to having to pick one of the factions to support and I couldn’t decide, then got distracted by other games. I tried to pick it up again recently and didn’t remember the story. I’d love to sit through and read summaries of all the quests I completed so I can catch up on where I was and what I did one day, and then I can finally properly finish it.
I agree. I love the part of prepping for a monster. It makes me feel like a Witcher, and it is a role playing game after all.
Luke had to actually train and failed when he fought his main, more experienced villain for the first time. Then he went back and did more training off screen. I think that makes him less a Mary Sue. He’s definitely whiny, though.
Well that’s terrifying. I’m starting to think you can’t have a real democracy without strong recall abilities on politicians. The fact that these people are untouchable in office no matter what we find on them is insane.
I thought a lot of the last season felt really dated already strangely enough. But I’m still willing to give it another chance, I just probably won’t be rushing to watch the new episodes like I was with season 11.
Lemmy.world is biased, but in a way that’s harder to see. They’re more liberal and centrist, which isn’t political in the same way being white “isn’t”. It seems like it isn’t because it’s the default of the English speaking West.
But still, ya, lemmy.ml needs to cool it with the bans and heavy handed moderation. I’m glad it’s not the biggest anymore but now I think everything is too much on Lemmy.world. I wish people would split up their accounts and communities on more instances instead of putting it all on one (or two). This and Reddit is a great example of why we shouldn’t be giving the same people power over everything.
The problem is that someone has to host the data. That will always be true. Even in the cloud, someone has to own the servers that the data are on. The only solution I can see is something basically like what we have the fediverse, only where other instances are sharing copies of the same community and the posts on it, kind of preventing one place from having ownership of it. But then if the instance goes down or gets defederated, I suppose you’d still have different versions of it floating around, plus the problem of someone posting CSAM and it getting pushed to all the instances and stuff.
Still, I agree that I think the closest solution is going to be something like the fediverse we’re seeing now. I just don’t know how to solve the problem of overzealous mods still, because we need mods. Having some democratic control over modding seems dangerous, too. Imagine a place gets brigaded by The Donald at 3am and everyone wakes up to their community being totally different. Or sometimes people are just wrong, like we have the problem of pre October 7th where 99% of the US believed Israel was a golden angel thanks to propaganda and dismissed all criticism. Same thing with socialism in the 50’s, or racism. Democratic modding at the time would lead to MLK getting banned lol.
It’s definitely an issue, because the ml mod and mods like them are way too trigger happy on the bans, but it’ll probably take some time to think of good solutions, and lots of experimenting with new forms of social media, like the fediverse.
The more alternatives to corporation owned social media the better! I hope it takes off, but I’ve never really been a Tumblr guy.
Seems a little late. There hasn’t been a Just Cause game in forever, has there?
Aawww =( Poor penguins! Stick to yachts, orcas!
Well you all have to hand it to them, it is a very unpopular opinion. Therefore, I upvote lol
Oh looks like someone already cross posted it there lol
@albumartporn@lemmy.world (for kbin)
Ya I always figured cyberpunk got big in the 80’s because it was a commentary of the hyper capitalist neoliberal policies of the era, which have only gotten stronger since then.
I’ve never double-checked or researched this but I always thought it made sense.
