I'd rather get my sense of pride and accomplishment from literally any other company.

Seems like it, yep. RIP IW4X. I didn't even know it existed!

How did you realize that, exactly?

I fully expect mass posting like that will be the norm on Lemmy, even more than it was on Reddit. Now instead of a handful of subreddits that cover similar context, there are also a handful of communities on here with literally the exact same name. As annoying as it is to see a bunch of duplicate posts in my feed, I can't say I blame users for doing that when communities are often fragmented here.

So... could someone explain to me what makes this better than just using the Remote Play app on whatever device you want? That has existed for years and has always worked great.

This is a phenomenon known as group polarization or attitude polarization. This occurs in person as well. It's just what happens when people of similar opinions get together --especially groups that don't know each other very well. There are numerous theories explained in detail on Wikipedia though.

Perhaps it's more common online since the internet allows people to connect with just about anyone worldwide. People are able to find communities for even the most niche of topics, and online communities have a tendency to become echo chambers.

Well I'm not one to rule anything out...

There were some issues with lemmy.world this week and most apps require you to log out and back in to start working properly again. Hopefully that's all it is!

Of course I understand why, but it's pretty funny that changes like ravenous vortex now going through targets and Wrecking Ball's reload being reduced by half a second are in the same patch where soldier is getting three huge buffs.

I'll be honest - as much as I hate u/spez after everything that happened in June, I would probably still be using Reddit if not for them outright killing third party apps. Losing Reddit is Fun was one thing, but I will never downloading the official app.

So yeah! Lemmy here we come. Hopefully the community continues to get livelier as time goes on.
