Diablo 2 also had an expansion... and balance patches... But I agree.

I don't hate the idea, but it adds unnecessary confusion, so I can see why it was dropped.

Also if the plan was Jedi not being attached... that changes the future character arcs.

I'll even it out.

Correct!

Me? Really?

Sliders!

My favorite forgotten 90s show.

I wouldn't classify every monolingual person as trapped in an echo chamber

Simply being something isn't an echo chamber, you have to have a thought or opinion being shared by the group. If every person you interact with only speaks one language, and they all share that one language is the best method of communication, that's an echo chamber.

Use social media how you like

I agree. Although it is useful to be aware of your own biases.

the solution to echo chambers is going outside and touching grass not forcing yourself to interact with every community on the internet.

Assuming you don't mean literally "touch grass", the solution is seeking out opinions/thoughts outside of your echo chamber. That doesn't necessarily mean forcing yourself to interact with terrible communities, but being aware and understanding (but not agreeing with) them.

Although I again refer to using social media how you like is fine. No one needs to be exposed to certain communities. It's not wrong or lazy or bad to ignore certain communities or viewpoints, especially toxic ones. However you should be aware that they exist and it can be helpful, if you choose, to understand where they come from.

As a harmless example, if you don't like brussel sprouts and none of your friends like brussel sprouts, it may benefit you to try brussel sprouts or to seek out and talk to or read about people who like brussel sprouts. You can still at the end of the day dislike brussel sprouts. You don't have to change your opinion. But now your opinion is more well rounded.

Sure, but my first month of Lemmy was via the web. I still use Mastodon on the web (no app). Whenever I find myself on Reddit (via search) it's web only. If someone sends me a random YouTube link, I open it in the web. On the off chance someone sends me a random TikTok link, web only.

Again I don't use any of these apps, but if someone sends me a loops link and it says install the app, I'll just ignore it.

Honestly that's great news, but wouldn't a web version have made wayyyyyyy more sense?

So far, there is only some user settings accessible in the web interface. I don't have an iPhone, hence I cannot say for their app. The android app will come later, apparently.

I don't give a shit about TikTok or short form video but legitimately how is this expected to succeed with these limitations? Clearly people like this stuff but can a fediverse service really afford to be iPhone only? This truly seems doomed to fail.

I have lots of shower thoughts, usually it's what to do next in the D&D campaign I'm running. I could post them, but I don't think that's the spirit of the community.
