[x] Doubt
Even if you disagree, using a pronoun is just polite. She'd have to go out of her way to do this.
I know Google is a big corpo but its hardly the only reason behind the state of the internet. It is a major factor, but to single out Google when Microsoft and others have played just as significant of a role is odd.
I really do wish allegations of this level of seriousness could go through the legal system before being presented to the court of public opinion. If he's actually assaulting 16 year olds then he needs sending down!
When I was learning programming I wrote a small program that I called for_you.exe. It printed an animated ASCII penis ejaculating on some boobs. I emailed it to my girlfriend and thankfully she thought it was hilarious. We're still together.
LTT is one of the biggest YouTube channels and commands a lot of influence in the PC gaming community. The parent organisation actually has a lot of channels on youtube and they pump out a ton of videos under a few different names so even if you don't recognise the LTT name you might have seen some of their other videos just in passing.
Why is it a big deal? Because the accusations are big, given their influence on peoples' purchasing decisions.
I am going to continue not having an account and not having to deal with this.
Sometimes I'd settled for a simple description of what the tool even is. Sometimes the readme is just straight into compilation steps and I feel like we're rushing into something.
Not this again...
Lemmy isn't everyones' cup of tea. Reddit, despite the API shenanigans, still does what people want.
People are not moving here from Reddit if they haven't already. They'd sooner go to Discord. Less cognitive load, and their subs already have servers set up. Lemmy has a 5 communities different servers for each sub and most will be inactive, so it's already a losing battle.
Make Lemmy it's own thing, rather than aspiring to be the 2nd head of the Hydra. Organic growth is good, sustainable. Boom and bust wholesale migrations look like failed hostile takeovers.
Do you decide in the moment you catch them? Do you reuse nicknames across saves? Do you not nickname them at all?
As you can see, I have a theme 😅
One day this community will evolve into an OP butterfly with psychic powers.
But you can change is back. Here's how
Why? Why waste the mental resources fighting to make a platform work for you? Just let Twitter die
Well firstly, why do you care about being banned if you're leaving Reddit?
Come to terms with Reddit not dying overnight. Lemmy isn't going to vanish if people don't move over straight away. Reddit will eventually succumb to the 1000s of tiny self-inflicted cuts. Post content that isn't on Reddit and people will have a motivation to stay here.
I don't see anything inherently wrong with servers that try to generate some kind of income (servers don't pay for themselves after all) but it's absolutely the right of every server to choose whether or not to federate with them.
I'd take issue with free labour (e.g. unpaid mods) on a profit-making server.
Games publishers are in a war of attention and don't want to compete with themselves. They won't sell you an old game if they can get you hooked on the new version with microtransactions and DLC with no story and sub-par multiplayer.
The next point is just making the case for open source.
