The thing I liked the most about Lemm.ee was that there was a general policy against defederating. It let me drink directly from the whole lemmy firehose if I wanted. If I wanted to block individual communities or users, that was within my personal power and nobody decided to step in my way and decide for me.
It looks like you've defederated from 4 instances so far, so... that's pretty good. threads dot net by user vote, and three others for being virulent hives of pedo shit.
... you know what. i think i might be cool with this. I'll watch for a bit.
Yes, it's a shame fascists are so hell bent on doing that to us. But perhaps if they experience consequences, they may elect to do literally anything else with their life than harass queer people.
But I know I'm being too optimistic.
Some fascists would rather die than be better human beings... So it is only generous to oblige them.
Here's how I think a GoG subscription might work out:
The money goes into a balance on your account. It just accumulates store credit.
You might raise the question of "why would they want to do that", to which I say:
it's guaranteed income for them and they make a profit by selling games ANYWAY.
The fact that they get this income consistently is good for their books.
You might also raise the question of "why would anyone want to participate in that", to which I put to you this:
I want to give myself a "gaming allowance" of a little bit each month but saving is hard. If I am paying GoG a monthly subscription, though, and I accumulate a balance of credit, I can get games without it impacting my budget outside of what I've exactly allotted.
What else do I get? The warm fuzzy feeling of supporting GoG. Which I'd definitely do anyway. Honestly, letting me turn my subscription into store credit is a huge boon. I don't NEED any perks beyond that.
Oh here's something GoG could maybe do, actually:
an extremely UNOBTRUSIVE cloud storage drive that they say is for Save Syncing (and automates this if you're running the galaxy app) but that they'll let you store any arbitrary files in it as long as what's in it fits within the space they've designated for me... and furthermore if this space got bigger the more store credit I have built up, that'd be the tits too.
OH OH OH I thought of two other perks!
What if the cloud storage suggestion also automatically "stored" "copies" (in your "personal" cloud storage box) offline installers for games you've purchased so that you can still download them EVEN IF they get "delisted" for sale?
What if your subscription gave you sliiiightly more than the cash value in store credit? Like only 10% bonus.
If I am paying $5.00 per month, they put $5.50 store credit in my balance each month.
I freaking love my town's municipal fiber! It's GLORIOUSLY FAST and rock stable, haven't had ONE outage in the past 3 years. Cheaper than the coaxial cable I used to have through spectrum (previously called themselves charter). Coaxial cable is a scam nowadays.
Maybe lean extra hard on the coastal elite big media propaganda. You can't outsmart a moron, maybe out stupid them instead.
this was a good place to be. dang.
