Maybe a forced pop-up whenever you submit content. I know people are gonna hate it, but putting the option right in front of their face makes them far more aware of it.

If you wanted to make it optional, you could allow users to filter untagged posts. I think that with a combo of the popup could work to make it a thing people actually used.

Basically what were discussing is a less crap version of reddit tags, hashtags, forum tags, etc. The big problem with those, especially on reddit, is getting people to use them and use them properly. Every sub handled them differently (hell, on the 2 subs I modded, both used them differently and I ran both of them). Some subs let users apply, some were mods only, some were bots, etc. The other problem is getting people to use them properly. Hashtags aren't a bad system, but easily abused (look at Tumblr tags. They're essentially useless half the time).

Maybe community assigned tags could work. Have the poster tag from the start, then allow users to report if it should have a different level. It seems like a good idea, but I'd want to have something like a trust score behind it to filter errant reports and trolls, which I don't think is currently something lemmy supports, but idk.

Anyways, just throwing out ideas

I like the idea, but getting everyone to add the tags would be a nightmare unless the culture majorly shifts in favor of adding them

I vote for "NEP" to be the tag in between SFW and NSFW. It stands for "Not Exactly Porn"

It's for things you could still get off to and would likely get you in trouble at work, but hopefully wouldn't get you fired

China and Russia don't have collective ownership over the means of production. They're not socialist. It's like the main thing.

Ah, right, I forgot about Mastodon existing!

So, unrelated to the thread, but your server shows up like this for me! on Sync. I'm just curious if you configured the setting "wrong" (or intentionally like that) or if I should file a bug report for Sync

Well, the first time they e really gotten away from that dynasty has been Acolyte. Haven't seen it yet, but judging by the discourse online this might be the last time they ever explore outside the skywalkers

Nah man, freedom.

Yeah, but here in the US, if you can work even the simplest job you shouldn't qualify for disability! That just encourages people to enjoy communism! These literally half blind mfers need to get off their ass and get to work, the lazy sons of bitches! Don't they love freedom?

They're in horrible legal ground. What they did was illegal (though not necessarily wrong), but now they're risking dying on this hill, which will cause people to lose a valuable service. They need to surrender the hill before it's too late, if it's not too late already

You can still run Fallout 1 and 2 on modern hardware. Maybe not the original disks, but a remake wouldn't fix that anyways.

A remake would involve redoing nearly everything in the base game in a new engine. You're likely thinking of a remaster, which brings it up to modern hardware without rebuilding the whole thing.

A remake isn't needed for fallout 1 or 2

Okay I have to know wtf you're talking about

I mean...

I can think of far worse narrators

Yup.

Without checking, I'm betting that Ohio gave them incredibly tax breaks that are nearly without end, meaning none of the money goes back into the local economy whatsoever

My states done it so many times now, and we don't have income tax, so none of the money goes back into the local economy on the executive side, only on the workers side, putting all the issues it causes on workers! Woo!

Personally, if I had to live my life on morphine, I'm calling it quits

"One podcast away from an incel"

Man, I hadn't heard that rant in years.

And yeah, I remember a lot of people both cheering and hating on EGS when it was first announced. A lot of people were saying it would be as bad as uplay and whatever ea calls their launcher now (it wasn't), or that devs would get screwed by the platform (they didn't).

I also remember a lot of people saying it would be a "steam killer". It wasn't, but even without direct evidence I feel comfortable saying it was a major factor in steam finally making their launcher halfway decent. It still has a ways to go and I still think EGS does some things better (why TF would I ever want to launch directly to the store, valve? Just show me my fucking games)

And DA4 got almost remade to remove the live service features

What's Bethesdas excuse?

It's supposed to be in the style of those "socialism is when government does stuff" memes. That's pretty much how all of them end

I don't give a rats ass about their market share, epics never going to pass steam, but they still have to pay devs to give away those games, and with a lot of the games being indie titles, I'm perfectly happy for some free money to go into a devs pocket

To add on to this: steam was dog shit before epic came along. A lot of people are either unaware or have forgotten how bad steam actually was until it got some real competition
