This is a place to post limited-time giveaways of full video games that are then yours to keep forever at no cost (i.e. this is not for steam sales, free-to-play games, free weekends, competition giveaways, or free in-game items!)

Please don't repost stuff that's already been posted or stuff that breaks feddit.uk rules (i.e. don't be a dick!)

@[email protected] have you done something to piss off the bots? Both of your posts immediately received 3 downvotes!

If anyone downvoting wants to comment here and explain why this post (which is literally the most appropriate post for this community) was worthy of that then I'd love to know!

I checked and no bots, seems to be general Epic hate. Gonna block those people anyway, nothing of value will be lost. Here they are, if you wish to ban people who downvote free games in a free game community:

FWIW - definitely general Epic hate. Their security and business practices are sketchy enough that I don't think they deserve the visibility. That's just my option which I'd like to be able to express by voting. Thankfully, I'm not the only one who votes and you could allow the votes to shake out naturally. I'm sure there are plenty of folks who can counter my silly reasons with silly reasons of their own!

Firstly, thanks for the actual thought-out response, I much prefer an actual discussion to just speculating whether or not you were a bot!

Ultimately I don't think I'd have even created this community if it wasn't for Epic, their weekly giveaways seem to have kicked off a trend which seems to be a win for us consumers; bad people can do good things for bad reasons. I've never even added any payment details for their store and my account is full of freebies! I've chosen my battles and I'm not going to spite myself just to stick it to the megacorp.

Bottom line: you do what you want but I'm not going to stop posting Epic Games giveaways here, you might be happier just filtering out posts containing the string Epic so you never have to think about the bastards!

I'd never expect you to stop posting! Honestly, filtering is a great thought. I'll do that and I appreciate it, thank you.

You're welcome! Annoyingly I don't think specific filtering is built in to Lemmy, but quite a few clients seem to offer it.
