Apple Music or Spotify? what do you use and why?
City builder with no combat is right up my alley, so I thought Against the Storm was absolutely brilliant. A much needed fresh take on the genre.
I'm also looking forward to Steamworld Build. I've loved the Anno series since I was a child and I love most of the games in the Steamworld series, so this combination is shaping up to make for an amazing game. I tried the demo a little bit and it looked so well designed and polished.
That nectarine slice is basically doing a photobomb lol. It so badly needs a doodle face.
My head's soundtrack every time I read money
Lurkers downvoting comments just because they don't agree with the content or whatever.
With votes being public and all, it's very childish and tacky.
Nobody here besides you mentioned flooding or being overrun.
I didn't say they are flooding it, I presented the hypothetical case, as in “Are they flooding it? If yes A, if no then B” I hope that's within the boundaries of your reading comprehension.
If the answer is a No, as it was assumed with this question, then it leads right back to the second part of the comment you replied to.
What is the issue then? The fact itself of admins being tankies? If so, you can just leave and seek an instance that is defederated from lemmy.ml
You’re attacking a strawman
Implying this comment section isn't a giant tankie strawman LMAO.
I don't think I'm missing the point actually, I'm aware the instance admins are tankies.
Like I said before, are these tankie admins flooding the instance with their tankie content? This hasn't been my experience at all but if that's your situation, you're free to just leave for any other place in the Fediverse that is defederated from lemmy.ml.
If you're not seeing tankie content by these admins, but simply the fact of them being tankies proves to be such a taxing moral challenge to you, the same as before applies. I know lots of people that went to Kbin specifically because they didn't want to deal with lemmy.ml admins and their values (personally I think this is a bit much but everyone is free to do as they please, I won't judge people who do it).
What I don't get is the “Ok Imma stay but I will be complaining the WHOLE TIME” mindset.
What's the point of specifically looking for the tankie instance just so you can say See? Lemmy is overrun by tankies. At that point it looks like you're just trying to get outraged.
The amount of content I've seen on the front page endlessly crying and whining over these evil tankies far exceeds the amount of tankie content I've run across involuntarily, which remains at a staggering 0.
It's got big “And are these tankies in the room with us right now?” vibes tbh.

It's a topic that's maybe a bit too dense and broad to reduce to a single short comment, but trying to simplify things a bit:
- Leftism is quite a nebulous term, its boundaries are delimited differently depending on who you ask. IMO It could be characterized as opposition to the capitalist economic framework (stemming from the question “Can the system be reformed?”, only answers starting with a “No” would be considered leftist). One of the main indicators of something being leftism lies in its adherence to the marxist principle of the working class being the owner of the means of production (or more famously, “seizing the means of production”).
This point in itself would mean democratic socialists (demsocs) are considered leftists but social democrats (socdems) are not. I'm sure lots of people will agree and a lot more won't about that boundary for “leftism”. - The conflation of terms like liberal, leftist, communist… into one and the same is a topic deserving of its own dissertation that can only be explained as the resulting image from the warped looking glass that is the current American political landscape, concept that is often illustrated by talking about the shift of the Overton Window. These things in turn can be explained as the lasting echoes of McCarthyism and its Red Scare tactics that had a profound effect on American political discourse.
- Liberalism (another term so broad it would be impossible to fully explain in a few sentences) in its modern conception, and especially as “liberalism” is understood outside of the US, would mean an adherence to market economy ideology and the belief in private property. That would include all the range of positions from “The system is fine just as it is” to “The system is inherently fine it just needs some minor touch-ups” and all of them would find themselves opposed to leftism, which following the analogy would be the position saying “The system IS the problem”.

”cartoonishly liberal”
Friendly reminder that liberals are not leftists, because apparently it still needs to be said
Spotify just because I've been using it almost since it came out and especially because Apple Music is absolute chaos for scrobbling to last.fm
