  • Subreddits have banned people for activities that users do in other subreddits since long before the API changes. Reddit was bad, long before the API changes. The writing was on the wall when they first changed how votes were displayed, its what started the mass trend up karma farming. There used to be a lot of novelty accounts going around, the small user base kept things grounded and on topic. Then users like gallowboob took over, flooded the site with repost after repost, farming karma, other users began doing the same and now its nothing more than karma hell.

    Comment threads are rarely helpful, usually full of trolling, or pun threads, or jokes, or other useless unhelpful crap.

    Once a community, any community, becames large enough, the quality of the output drops. If you have 10000 users in a sub/community, and only a couple hundred that actually like the topic, the trolls and the off topic karma whores will take over. Low effort, low skill, low floor, low ceiling. Enshitification isn’t just a word, and it didn’t just happen over night. It’s been happening for a while. The internet will never be as good as it used to be, sure we can do more, watch more, send more, download more, play more, etc. But the smaller close-knit communities that helped cause the internet to thrive in the first place are never coming back.

    Enshitification and dead internet theory have made sure of that.


  • It could also be cope due to him wanting to be remembered for something big. The atomic bombings were massive, and will stand throughout history as the first, and so far (and hopefully), the only time nuclear weapons were used on civillians. Sure it may have stopped the war, and that may be what Donald is equating it to, however I do feel he wants to be remembered throughout history for something good. His ego needs it, he needs it. No-one else has plastered their name over buildings and coveted gold and other gaudy decor options. Nothing more than a narcissistic moron who wants to be remembered throughout all of time as the greatest person to have ever lived.


  • Nah i don’t think it is that. I think most people who actually pay attention to whats going on a disgusted by it. Somehow, simply because of WW2 it was made that any criticism regarding Israel is automatically deemed anti-semitic even though thats not the case in 99% of times. They can skate on by, being abhorent human beings simply because a couple generations ago such terrible depraved acts were performed on a large group of peoples that happened to largely be jewish. They’ve beaten that horse so hard, and its been dead for decades, but one whiff of being called an anti-semite had people worried. Because of the nazis. Now, not only has crying wolf made it so these depraved humans from israel been given carte blanche, for fear of being given the anti-semite label, but nazi’ism and fascism has come back due to the normalising of calling people nazis, either seriously or as a joke.

    Really the only way to ensure this shit doesn’t happen is to ban all religions that aren’t non-theistic in nature. All materialistic, theistic, my god is better than your god, my religion is better than yours die you piece of horse scrotom trash, all that kind of shit needs to be wiped from the human conciousness. If you can tell me, with a straight face, that none of the bullshit caused anywhere in the world is based on theistic religion, I have a rock to sell you that keeps tigers (and bears) out of your neighbourhood.



  • Look, I get it. You are mad too, that trump is bringing you all down. However, this isn’t just a trump thing. This isn’t just a now thing. This is something that has been going on for decades, maybe even longer than most of us have been alive. The US is known for being arrogant, ignorant, prideful, and idiotic. Most non-americans have talked to americans online over the years and likely tried to explain what is wrong with their country, healthcare, pay, racism, nationalism etc. Most likely have been met with ‘hate us causee they aint us’, ‘better dead than red’. ‘USA USA USA’, or some other prideful bullshit.

    For decades you lot have all looked down on the rest of world, assuming you are doing the best, because you are born in the best country in the universe, raised the best way possible, pledging you allegiance to your flags, drinking up the nationalistic propaganda. For decades. And now, this trump shit has made the rest of the world say, nah fam we don’t like this. And you all have the gall to say. Its not us, dont blame us, we didn’t do it.

    Like shit. You guys made the bed, and have been making the bed for decades. Just because it’s been shat in now doesn’t mean you didn’t make it.

    Grow up, accept that, deal with it. Get your shit in order, fix it.

    Maybe then. In a few decades when the world can see you’ve fixed all systemic problems they might accept you again. Maybe.


  • Generation Zero was amazing, when it first came out and it was all new. The machines were actually scary to be up against. I remember playing the beta and freaking out that the dogs were following me around when I was in the bunker, how they would track you down. Just always put me on edge, but then you take down a few. Learn the ropes, get better gear. And that anxiety is gone. Its not longer difficult. It got too easy, not scary to be out at night alone.

    I will say though that the engine used was fantastic. I have never before, or since, had a game that loads so fast, looks so nice on mid-low level hardware. You hit load game, and you are in the game. It ran fantastic and looked really nice. The concept was amazing and for the most part it did work. Until it didn’t. Fun game but nothing outstanding.


  • The benefit of lemmy being that instances can and do block communities that don’t fit their vibe. So once lemmy gets big enough that quality starts taking a hit, and corpos smell blood in the water, other instances can just fork off. It’s already kind of like that too. Whereas with reddit, you can’t tell what sub a person originally signed up for, sure you can go through history but with lemmy you can see what instance a person belongs to, which can give you a slight idea of the ideals that person might hold. Some instances may, for better or worse, have certain reputations.

    Plus with being able to see a users mod history and whatnot. Lemmy has a lot more to offer and its still growing. it’ll likely split over time but basically be the same. It is very different from reddit though, more like if forums and twitter had a baby.

    If your cat isn’t tagged so it can be returned to you, and you fined. And they have no way of knowing who that animal belongs to, if it carries any disease, how many animals it has killed, has it littered any bastards. Then yes, it should be put down.

    The only problem there will be, would be you would be down one cat, sad for a while and likely get a new one.

    Be a good owner, don’t let the cat escape, and there won’t be any ‘problems’

    :)

    Exactly. Cats should be kept inside at all times. The amount of native wildlife they kill each year is sickening. Some speecies are near wiped out because idiots let their cats roam around killing countless things every day. Cats in australia, for example, kill 10+ billion native animals every year. We have things endangered because of it. We have to have islands and such with no cats just to bring levels up for species.

    All cats belong inside, or in a cat run, that cannot in any way cause harm to any other animal that doesn’t stray in to its run. My cat is inside only, never outside without a lead and lives a perfectly fine life. No feline aids, no ticks, no fights, no stray bastards born. Does not contribute at all to the needless slaughter of native animals.
