Headline is confusing, this is the DRC they're talking about. Congo is a different country

Freudian slip?

💪🐻 💪

It didn't suck exactly, time is just so much more prevalent than other units that switching to a new system was even more contentious. Current time is just as arbitrary (although maximizing for maximum number of prime factors is pretty nice, even if it doesn't mesh nicely with other metric units)

"we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing"

Don't have one, unfortunately. And I don't think I'll get enough use out of one to justify buying it

I cannot. Mobile games are exclusively licensed by Netflix: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.netflix.NGP.IntoTheBreach&hl=en-US

On desktop, I'll of course go for the actual purchase

I have it on PC, but I want to play it on the go. The only way to (legally) get it on mobile is via Netflix. I'd buy it, if I could, it'd be worth it

Fuck them for licencing games behind a monthly subscription. I want to buy Into the Breach, not get a video subscription I won't use to be able to play it.

The ADL exists to peddle Zionism and conflate it with Antisemitism, and to defend Israel's interests. Do not take them serious. Listen to other Jewish voices, like the Holocaust survivors who are actively warning about the US sliding into fascism for years now. This was absolutely meant as a Hitler salute, and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous

so the mods are going to unlock the community and pretend nothing happened?

Okay to have a backup, but I'm still hopeful we'll get this one unlocked

Good point.

I thought we left that attitude on Reddit, that's a really disappointing and insulting take. The community is the community, not a handful of moderators. We're grateful for the work y'all are doing, but, and I really don't intend this as an insult, moderators are replaceable.

Okay, that's good to hear. Still not happy with the situation, but I'm glad to hear you were at least somewhat in the loop

Wow, I already didn't agree with this move, but knowing they went behind your back makes this feel especially bad. I'll certainly not move then. I'm sorry to hear that, and I just want you to know that the community, for the most part, stands behind you <3

I, like many others I imagine, came to blahaj because of c/196, but stayed for the amazing safe space and community you've built here!

This move is going to make the community a lot less welcoming to queer folk, by virtue of being on .world alone. I don't know what rift between Ada and you let to that decision, but I think it's a big mistake. It feels especially bad for us members of this community not being involved in the decision making process at all, all the more if this has truly been "months in the making".

With that said: I strongly implore you to not lock down the community, and instead let a new mod team take over. Not having centralized decisions and power tripping mods is one of the big hopes I had for the fediverse, and this... feels really bad. It's not a bad thing to have several similar communities on different instances! Please don't destroy this one over personal grievances

Damn :c

What has led to that decision?

You don't need to be the world's richest man to do that. You can live the life, for the rest of your life, with a couple million (nowadays maybe a couple tens of millions). To have that much and still want more you'd have to either be incredibly greedy, power hungry or insecure
