It's pretty wack. I'm just hoping Lemmy flares up again, like it's so heartening to see it taking off, but at the same time it's a bit disheartening to see a lot of threads with only like 2-3 comments.

I just have to teach myself to not comment on reddit anymore, or interact with anything there. Eventually hopefully never return.

I'm pretty good at the motorcycle stockpiling myself. Just ask my wife lol

I think we've all suffered through a mod lecture or two. Nothing I love more than being lectured by people that are just absolute wastes of resources. There are starving children in the world, yet someone insists on keeping the insufferable and miserable mods of our cities subreddit fed and housed.

It's the mods that are killing it. Absolute 1 dimensional neckbeard thinking, and the bots. I mean who the fuck in their right mind volunteers to work for a multi billion dollar tech company, right? Absolute neck beard degenerates, that's who.

Modding probably sucks ass, don't get me wrong, but expel your efforts on modding something like a Lemmy instance, where it's for good and not just efforts that go to buying another yacht for some billionaire laughing all the way to the bank

I just got a three day account ban, for threatening violence, by commenting that I hope someone got charged for running a red light. This is the second time this has happened in two months, all thanks to maniacs on our community subs.

It took me awhile to go back to that shit hole, and I'm getting a good reminder why. I just wish Lemmy would get a bit more active, and I can finally put Reddit to bed.

I mean at the end of the day, it's the gamers opening their wallets though, right? That's the biggest behaviour that's leading to this, when the chips fall. It's like when people complain about preordering, well thats got a super simple solution: just don't do it.

I've never bought a lootbox or a gaming pass. That sort of stuff irritates me, like sell me the game or fuck off. I'm ok with a DLC that expands a storyline or a new world or something, that comes a couple years later. I've always viewed that a bit differently, as long as the content of the core game isn't affected. But even when companies are like buy the deluxe tier of our new game that has the Broken Road Protagonist Best DLC ever, releasing June of this year, that pisses me off because it's like you purposely held that back to sell as additional content. I don't tend to buy games that do that, and if I do, I never purchase nor participate in the additional content.

Likely because the vast majority of reddit users in 2025 are bots. It's just a bunch of bots talking to each other, with a few incels sprinkled in here and there.

As a pirate, I refuse to read.

Just wanted to say arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, though.

Shiver me timbers!
