In my DnD group, my goblin wizard still holds the honor of being the only party member the DM has used Power Word Kill on.
I’m honored.

I will buy the explanation that the game is too old to continue to support when they stop adding new microtransactions every six months or so

People like to think that they’ve made some far-reaching change with what little actually happened. The painful truth is: they didn’t. There wasn’t a big hit to the userbase, most people on Reddit already hated moderators and didn’t give a shit if they got removed, and overall people caved far too quickly (how many people folded instantly when their internet moderator position was threatened? (I say this as someone who was one of those moderators that flat out quit everything and nuked my account rather than continuing to toil for free for a corporation that hates me)).
The actually important thing that was accomplished by the protesting was platforms like Lemmy getting enough of a userbase boost to become stable - in the future, Lemmy and others may be able to act as viable alternatives to Reddit, because there’s already a community here (however small). Reddit will continue to enshittify, and people will continue to leave in small numbers that may escalate to big numbers if they commit a truly massive fuckup. The more heavy Reddit users (read: more invested, not necessarily more active) are small in number compared to the vast majority who lurk, don’t give a shit about any ongoing meta-drama, and don’t particularly care about any changes to the UI or browsing experience as long as they can still get an endless feed of memes.
Even if it hurts to realize this, it’s important to make sure people get this message beat into their skulls so that we aren’t stuck with a bunch of Redditors (derogatory) with over-inflated egos that think Reddit will bend over backward to appease them, then cave as soon as they receive literally any pushback from the corporation running the site.

Appears to no longer be free, so I’m gonna take this down for now. If it was an error and it becomes free again, feel free to repost!
the smell of heavily chlorinated water. i used to spend a heck of a lot of time at the pool when i was a kid, and where i live now there aren’t nearly as many pools, so it’s not something encountered often anymore.
behold, the infinite malignity of the stars!
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.
The only one I have found was !hades@lemmy.zip, but it isn’t very active.
paid for in blood
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
I hope Lemmy eventually picks up more features like polls. I miss natively embedding polls.
Those factors are what help identify a “tankie”, among other things. Communists are cool, but apologia of atrocities is not an inherent tenet of communism, despite what some people on the sketchier parts of Lemmy would have you think.
…It seems like you’ve described the problem yourself in the OP, but dismissively?
People that don’t check what community a post came from on their home feed and just upvote it if they like it.
Full disclosure: that was me just now until I opened the comments, realized, then took it back. It’s very easy to miss sometimes
