Rally’s in the 90s, then they all disappeared and came back as garbage.
In-N-Out Animal Style no contest
The Who’s Tommy Pinball Wizard. I was expecting some cool music, and pinball. Maybe something like The Wall. Nope, What I got was Uncle Eddy and the Acid Queen.
Thank you for the work and all the transparency Ruud, glad to have you as our Admin.
I think I understand the point you’re making. My immediate reaction is… get a haircut? I suppose it’s not that easy for a lot of people though, and I get wanting a place you don’t have to deal with the stress.
Why try to create a closed off environment on an open forum though? If that’s the goal, why not build the community on a closed forum? There are also tools at an individual level like down voting, blocking users, and blocking communities.
Cutting off a huge segment of the fediverse seems like a bad move this early in it’s growth.
Just to be clear on my perspective. Anyone going to any community just to fuck with them is a low being who should evaluate their life and choices. I’m concerned about the health of the fediverse, I don’t support the trolls.
Marine boot camp, infantry school, and Ramadi all felt pretty unsafe. My latchkey childhood roaming the streets of Las Vegas felt pretty unsafe.
Much more interested in the free exchange of ideas, that’s why im hanging out in an open forum discussing random shit with strangers to get perspective different than my own.
What makes me feel unsafe is the thought that not walking on eggshells softly enough might hurt some petty tyrants feelings and they’ll use their small sliver of influence to cut me off. We should be able to talk freely with each other.
For example, I’m really enjoying this discussion right now.
This is the technique I’ve also been using, or visiting individual communities.
That’s a great idea. I’m on board.
I was venting. I’m not a fan of the idea of safe spaces, censoring, or mods in general. That’s what the up and down vote buttons are for. I like the wild and free frontier internet, and Lemmy was feeling like that.
I think what they did probably hurt the migration and adoption of the platform, hopefully not too much.
Of course its their decision to make, I’m not going to change it, but I don’t respect them for it. And that’s OK, I don’t have to.
That’s a real bitch move, basically shadowbanning huge portions of the reddit migration. Unsubscribed from everything they host and lost a ton of content. Hopefully we can grow our own technology, gaming and whatever other large discussion hubs.
This isn’t much better than what reddit is doing, fucking safe spaces. I miss the hell out of the internet at the turn of the millennium. When the users started touching things it all went to shit.
Both kinda, if RIF is gone I’ll only use it through old.reddit for research purposes and make Lemmy my main app.
I’ve installed wesnoth on at least 10 different computers and laptops over the years. My son’s enjoying it now, what a classic
I don’t like survival games either. Too much time running around in an empty field.
RPGs, Strategy, tightly made linear shooters, all much more engaging.
Hey, you rock. This place is pretty cool.
I prefer to type my response then delete it without submitting.
Test reply, please ignore.
There were a lot of games released in the 90s. It would take 2-3 per genre to start getting close.
Picking just one single game… I guess I’ll go with Fallout 2
