Anything to make the sequel series more consistent would be better than what we got. Trilogy has gotta be 3 parts to a story, not 3 separate visions 🥲

It's a hard habit to break

I feel like I've heard a lot of bias placed against the idea of government in the US as something that's the source of problems in the country, where private organizations are usually seen as being the solution and not at all related somehow. It doesn't always strike the mark when criticizing private organizations... people will even jump to the defense of billionaires. Agree that mentioning government grocery stores would result in something like "what you want the government to run groceries? they can't do anything right, why would you want them to do that?"

Genuine question, what's the best way to tell if someone is a bot? Just the nature of their content/reposting of articles and such?

Us lurkers are still here (hopefully) but it's easy to go back to the ways of scrolling without engaging

Thanks for doing what you do!

Hey all, I'm sure there's a sentiment that some of the smaller communities reddit had will take time to repopulate and gather traffic in the Fediverse. I was curious if Games still served as a melting pot for game talk, and I wanted to chat a bit here to see if I can reignite some discussion about MMO content.

Exploring this new little bubble of internet has me wondering how people feel about how online games have developed over time. Early 2000's MMOs definitely had a special feeling to them, with lots of interaction between players, more obtuse(and grindy) challenges to overcome, but definitely a feeling of reward for figuring these things out or brute forcing your way through.

I'm wondering if eventually the social dynamic of MMOs will be reexplored. Parts of the game like leveling are definitely designed to be less impactful in the scope of overall gameplay, and cooperating between players is mainly focused on teamwork in the final endgame instances. I remember playing MapleStory, games like FFXI, etc where party questing during the leveling processes were huge and added a unique feeling to the social atmosphere and accomplishment at earlier levels.

If you have any thoughts about games you think still hit cooperative notes well, what you miss or don't miss about older design vs newer ones, or just have any anecdotes in general I'd love to hear it!

Is it just user activity that's public? Curious to know about what is preserved on the backend, like if user removed posts/etc get stored somewhere accessible like this too.

Curious to know, I'd heard "lemming" used in a semi derogatory way, since "a person who unthinkingly joins a mass movement, especially a headlong rush to destruction" is the dictionary definition. It seems to be the first thing to come to mind as to what you'd call a Lemmy user.

This platform certainly is embodying a mass movement to get off of reddit, and I'm definitely all for it! But I can't help but feel this could be one of those baby names that sounded cute and catchy but could be bullied later into life. What are your thoughts?

.world sounded like it was the most "official" on a way? Maybe just bias but sometimes the shorthanded/links make web links sound less credible or not as major of a spot. Kbin.social kinda has that working for it too, .social and .world sounded like official gathering grounds by their naming.

Wefwef feels fantastic. As a RIF user I see why the Apollo folk loved the user experience - glad it continues on in a way!

I think it's cause everyone here has to actually try and make meaningful content here as opposed to being jaded and doom scrolling while posting among hundreds of others - and getting told to use the search function. Every post rn has an impact so the vibes are good!

Crazy that even Google seems to be realizing that it's search really leaned on Reddit for decent results nowadays... I'm curious to see if a bunch more things start to implode over time
