  • These things are the standard for apps nowadays; it's Connect and other Lemmy apps that are the outliers. I don't blame that dev for wanting some return on their work, but I am happy that we have so much choice in Lemmy apps that I can choose to use something else instead.

  • That's why it's important to assess the tone the DM is using when they say that.

    Do they sound defeated? You're probably about to derail away from something planned to something that will have to be fully improvised on the spot, reconsider for sanity's sake

    Do they sound excited? You're probably about to trigger a really cool trap, full steam ahead

  • Because it's not Reddit, and is active enough.

    In terms of content Lemmy is definitely inferior to Reddit. So it is, it's not very old and not very large compared to Reddit. But because of Reddit's decisions, I'm here instead of there.

  • Any PR statement that includes the words "we hear you" can be safely ignored

  • I only really wishlist games that haven't come out yet that I'm interested in, to remind me to buy it when it comes out. Only about ten items on mine.

  • "borrowed indefinitely"

  • Too late, I already own all the Stellaris DLC, my bad choices have been made long ago

  • Not sure yet! I've not bought a lot of games recently, but I do enjoy large swathes of the strategy genre. Stellaris, Civ 5 and 6, Terra Invicta, Frostpunk, etc.

  • Reminds me of a lion's pelt, all it needs is a mane

  • Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and "vibe".

    There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There's a reason I've stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn't be tolerated by anyone.

  • I hope Lemmy eventually picks up more features like polls. I miss natively embedding polls.

  • The difference is in obscurity and vanity. Everyone online knows who Musk is, people outside Reddit (and even those on Reddit, some of them) don't know who Spez is. The scale is different, and so are the severity and publicness of the negative changes. Like hell, a total site rebrand is a pretty noticeable thing.

    EDIT: Case in point, everyone refers to him as Spez instead of his name, Steve Huffman.
