I don't think it's entirely the app. I've had it happen to my Lemmy.world account using Jerboa and Connect, so I think this must be them working on stuff after the hack.
I thought Lemmy would just take over my mobile usage, and I would still visit reddit on desktop. Turns out I'm just using Lemmy on both because the vibe here is more fun.
Great write up! I'm amazed that I've never played this game. Although the first consoles that I played were the NES and especially the SNES, so maybe I was born too late.
It somehow manages to be very orchestral and fanfare-y but also like a normal TV show introducing actors. I love that it feels like a celebration for all the awesome characters that we're about to watch.
I miss not having the expectation of every social media being so heavily moderated and sterile.
The old internet was like walking down a busy city street. You might walk by someone doing something absolutely batshit crazy, but you just think "Weird. Moving on." and go about your day because getting emotionally invested would be dumb. The new internet feels like a workplace where people want to run to HR to report anyone who acts out so that they'll get what's coming to them.
It's not all bad, but I miss the sort of "wild west" feeling where nothing on the internet mattered because it wasn't real life.
Yeah, I miss finding some very barebones website called like "Gary's Favorite Garlic Breads", just run by Gary, who isn't trying to turn a profit or be an influencer. He just loves garlic bread and wanted to share.
It's the walmart-ification of social media. They're self sustaining because of their size, but that's not enough to make them an enjoyable experience. Just corporate, sterile, and lots of bored people.
I agree. It's just also fun to make fun of it, lol
