Fediverse does everything I require out of social media. Functionality of threadiverse is mostly there and getting better (Piefed will probably replace Lemmy as the go-to eventually), apps are better. Mastodon / microblogging was always good enough for communicating with real people, it’s when you’re an influencer you run into limitations but who cares about that. Maybe there aren’t that many people that are into this and that’s okay because we’re not a corporation that needs to report quarterly growth forever.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?English7·3 days agoApologies for my scatterbrain. In that case I’d go with BotW because it’s shorter/focused (others will say it’s too minimalist) and you’ll get to experience a modern Zelda game. Also, if you don’t own Switch 2 it runs good enough while TotK was just a bit too much for Switch 1.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Zelda BotW vs TotK - which one should I buy?English191·3 days agoTotK is better in every way but BotW is once in a lifetime experience due to how contemplative it can be. You’re not going to play both at the same time and they benefit from playing in order. If you’re low on cash buy some used copy of BotW off someone on Vinted* and sell on Vinted once done, then do TotK.

There are plenty of right wing pro-EU parties in Europe but they call themselves centrist or liberal. They don’t care for vulnerable groups of people but are pro big business and therefore pro-EU.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Post on r/50501 about reddit silently censoring/shadowbanning people.English46·4 days agoSo, I wouldn’t take anyone at their word here. Reddit shadowbans people for ban evasion or vote manipulation usually. Reddit doesn’t have to play favourites when for people involved it might just be the first time breaking Reddit ToS and now they’re surprised that there’s some moderation there at all given how lenient Reddit is on some things.
I can see plenty of people on the anti-Trump side advocate violence and destruction of property which while a noble goal is just stupid to do on a corporate platform that is legally liable for this. You could have done this ages ago and be on your 5th account when ban evasion filter catches you.
The other thing is that when you think you’re saving the world coordinating upvote/downvotes seems innocent enough but Reddit is pretty good at catching that and 50501 are likely amateurs in the world of manipulating Reddit. Far right has been at this way longer and got pretty good at skirting the rules and avoiding traps, hence this might appear that Reddit allows them to do anything.
misk@sopuli.xyzto Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Thousands protest Bulgaria's euro adoption and call for a referendum1·5 days agoIt’s very counterproductive to do this. As said, Russian propaganda is clever and doesn’t need to invent new issues, just finds ones that resonate with people. If we start going around saying something people want is wrong because there’s some connection to Russia and leave the issue unresolved, people will start voting for the only alternative they have - pro-Russia parties.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Europe@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Thousands protest Bulgaria's euro adoption and call for a referendum41·5 days agoThere are valid arguments against Euro adoption. It might make sense for core/old member states but for everyone else fiscal union without a common budget is just a recipe for disaster like Greece getting strong-armed by Germany into ruinous austerity. So maybe let’s discuss that rather than accusing certain positions being pro-Russia because Russia has a tendency to sow unrest abroad using actual existing issues.

misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Looming Xbox layoffs threaten Microsoft's reputation | OpinionEnglish2·6 days agoGamer seems to be a weird term because most don’t consider someone playing Candy Crush a gamer. Kids playing Nintendo games are a bit of a different breed too if we go by that measure. There’s also loads of older folk that grew with some sort of Nintendo system or started to appreciate what they’re doing later on of course. Among my group of older millennials in a country with very little Nintendo presence it seems like Switch is something you buy for your children primarily.

Please support CodeWeavers who have been funding this for many many years.
In a society / country that’s wealthy that’s likely to be true. In a society / country that’s poor it’s likely that more are looking out for themselves only and that makes for shitty people regardless of status.
This is kind of important - I commonly see that people want to fight bigotry head-on rather than addressing what caused people to be bigoted in the first place, for example.
