Could you not convert your characters over? I don’t play either one (I was more into Palladium games like TMNT and Heroes, or the old Westwood Star Wars), but I feel like it could be doable?



The unthinking sheeple who remain behind, the lowest common denominator of humanity… I won’t really miss them, honestly.


Hehe, the actual “old internet” resembles the fediverse of today, it’s what we thought the internet was supposed to be back then. Once corporations found the internet, we got the bullshit we have today.

If someone makes a federated porn app, they could call it “Feddish” … just give me a mention in the credits.


I reviewed the Reddit app at 1* because it honestly is a steaming pile of shit sorry excuse for an app, especially considering how long it’s been in this state now without any improvement.


Ad companies can’t handle the idea that people don’t want to be hit with ads every 5 minutes. “Well, it’s just BAD ads”… no, it’s having my experience constantly interrupted.


Reddit: You can’t be private, people need to see the content, reopen or else!
TIHI: No.
Reddit: Fine, mods are gone and we’ve reopened the community. People who want to be mods speak up
Crickets: Cricket noises
Reddit: This sub is unmoderated, so it’s now banned so nobody can see it

So… Reddit just reclosed the sub they said MUST be open.

Sound logic. Real class act.


Whenever people say “Somebody should do something!” they very rarely ever add “and the somebody is me”


TBF, American Presidential elections are already pretty controlled to guarantee certain outcomes, given how only 2 parties are ever really given any sort of legitimacy by the media. Throw in gerrymandering, and voting fraud, etc.


The loudest aren’t the majority. The loudest are often shills, trolls or AI bots. Just post that there’s an alternative, leave the link, and walk away. There will be people coming and joining quietly, in my experience.

In 1999, America Online's volunteer chat room monitors sued the company for back wages. Do today's hot Internet companies risk the same fate?

@v13 Here’s what I wrote to him, in case you’re interested.

Dear /u/Spez,

I am tired of the value I provide as a contributor and user of Reddit not being fairly compensated while Reddit makes money. I’m gone until I start getting more money than you do for my content. It’s not fair that you should be making money for something I freely provide.

Yeah, that’s YOUR argument, funny how it doesn’t go both ways, isn’t it? You’re such a hypocrite, and your ego has killed any desire for me to interact with Reddit anymore. You provide infrastructure, and you provide a name brand, and that’s all you provide you arrogant little man. Your users provide all the value to Reddit, and they don’t get paid either. Stop acting like you provide any fucking value, because you don’t. You are pathetic.


I actually sent spez a private message on my way out, calling out what an arrogant hypocrite he is. He probably won’t ever read it, but man it felt good writing it.


No, you had it right the first time. I’m saying if you subscribe to a magazine, there’s a good chance that magazine is autofederating content based on tags, so you are getting more from the magazine than just what is deliberately posted into that magazine.


I’m not sure how Lemmy works, but over on kbin I can set up my magazine (collection of threads similar to a subreddit) to autofederate content based on certain tags. For example, I run the DwarfFortress magazine, and I have it set up to automatically federate content in the fediverse based on the existence of a #dwarffortress tag. Now, I haven’t seen that happen yet, so I’m not 100% if it works or not, but it looks like the option is potentially there.


Why Reddit Is Destined to Turn to Crap
Users are facing down the web forum's IPO plans, but Big Tech's attract-and-extract cycle can't be stopped.
