Rebel Galaxy is an exploration/open world-ish space game with weird controllers but a pretty fun gameplay. You get to fine-tune different classes of ships with a variety of weapons, shields, engines, etc. while completing missions to earn money and earn reputation with different factions.
It’s basically Sid Meier’s Pirates, but in space and with a modern look. I found it highly entertaining.
If you answer “yes”, you just might be repeating the whisper of a demon."
So, wait… people who have a competing world view from yours are listening to demons? Now who’s naive? xD
the articles from The Verge seem to be very favorable towards the protestors
Because that’s what’s driving traffic for them right now. Let’s not forget that The Verge is also a soulless corporate entity. Peters has been doing a good job at covering the issues, but he wouldn’t be allowed to be as thorough if the topic and angle wasn’t a good driver of traffic.
That argument doesn’t hold under scrutiny. Reddit employs about 80 people on their iOS development team. And the app blows fucking chunks, compared to Apollo, which was made by one guy.
I want to speak with Spez’s manager!
Seems like we found turtle’s ball licker’s Kbin account!
Too bad they don’t seem to be federating. Just tried signing up to that specific community from Kbin, but it doesn’t show the content. Oh well, gonna keep my eye on it, regardless.
That’s gotta be up there with the best drunk Cup parade speeches of all time, lmao. Love the woman just trying to take his mic away xD
Also, after they took his mic away, Carrier honored his last name and carried him off the stage.
There are admins who are listed as mods in some subreddits, even if they probably don’t do any moderation these days. Spez is a mod of r/HighQualityGifs, for example.
Think of it as the people in Lemmy being Outlook users, and the people on Kbin being Gmail users. They’re just different flavors of the same thing (Reddit-like link aggregators, in this case).
And, as you already know, as a user of one you can interact with the other, and vice versa.
Honestly, as a kid, the first time I beat the Elite Four in the original Pokemon Blue. I felt like I could accomplish anything, at that moment xD
This was my first thought, too. That game is so incredible, and the suicide mission is such a wonderful way to bring it all together.
As a Mexican, I am very disturbed by this question. It’s not stupid (that doesn’t exist in this community), it’s just disturbing xD
No, a tamale is not a noodle. Noodles don’t have fillings, are longer, and thinner. It’s like asking if ravioli is a noodle.
Yeah, I think that’s what happened. We did it Fediverse! :D
Yup. Agree with everything OP said. Been saying it since last week. The 48-hour blackout wasn’t going to kill Reddit. Hell, if all 8,000 subreddits had gone with indefinite blackouts, it likely wouldn’t have killed Reddit either. The fallout from Reddit’s decisions, and their response to the community, is going to take months, and probably even years, to really be visible.
I’ve been on Reddit for more than 10 years. I started using Reddit regularly after Digg went to shit. I’ve seen the drama, controversies, and protests that previously have taken place on Reddit. But what’s been going on the last couple of weeks, I haven’t seen before. As I mentioned in another comment, this is the first time I’ve seen a concerted effort to find alternatives, not just for a few undesirables (i.e. Voat), but for the community as a whole.
Yeah, the communities here are not going to be nearly as active as they were on Reddit, but people want communities, and just having a friendly place to gather will be enough to slowly attract others.
I don’t remember seeing a single person objecting.
Depends on where you look, I suppose.
We did a poll in r/snowboarding (a subreddit that it’s in its off-season, and currently just frequented by our most “loyal” users) about whether to continue the blackout, and after two days of voting, it was literally a 50-50 split, and the majority of the comments were against the blackout. On the week before the blackout, the vast majority of support was there for the 48 hour blackout. If we’d done that same poll in February, I have a feeling that the majority would have voted to not continue the blackout. In that sense, I don’t think spaz is too far off the mark.
What the lying piece of corporate crap is ignoring is the fact that alternatives have grown considerably, traffic has gone down, and entire mod teams are quitting in protest. Reddit is going to be around for many many years, but this is the first time that I see a true push to create something different, not just for a few undesirables (i.e. Voat), but for the larger community in general.
I used to be a mod on r/snowboarding. I’m leaving Reddit, and today I purged my account, and left the mod team over there.
I created https://kbin.social/m/snowboarding/ a few days ago, if anyone wants to contribute to it.
Obviously, June is a terrible month to try and entice people to join a snow-related community, but that’s how things happen sometimes, haha.
Bold of you to assume that Reddit would want to spend money on moderator hires. They’d just recruit some fake-power-hungry bootlicker who will follow, for free, the admins’ instructions.
Crayola knows a thing or two about this xD https://img.ifunny.co/images/3d5e79e75ba23a9eba1fed53236a111c383b7ebbdf95130cf8a37b52c22f4af2_1.webp
I assume that’s how OP’s debate of how many holes a human had ended up being about straws: someone argued that the mouth and the anus are just one hole
