This is too quick of a movement towards defederation. Except in the most extreme of circumstances, it should be up to individual users whether they want to engage with other communities, and users can always block communities they find objectionable. It is not in the best interest of users to treat them as being incapable of making their own reasoned decisions about this kind of thing.

Fortunately, thanks to the wonders of the fediverse, I can just make a new account on a different instance and start engaging with Lemmy that way. Anyone have any recommendations on alternatives to lemmy.world?

Thanks for the kind words! It hasn't been much work at all - I'm having lots of fun with it. And I've been really pleased with the level of engagement. The community is basically just a place for me to post yugioh stuff I think is cool, and occasionally people will stop by to check it out or share something that they think is cool.

I'll try to keep on top of YCS results and I've got a few ideas for fun decklists.

It's nothing special, but I love my Immortal Phoenix Gearfried reprint that I got out of Amazing Defenders. The card is only worth one cent, but fire warrior jank is my favorite deck on MD/simulators, and I'm so happy to own my favorite card in paper.

Fuckers

Awesome. Thanks!

Cute pic! Didn't know we had an MD community

I tend to agree with the idea that MD has sort of cut itself off at the knees by pursuing its weird unique banlist and cardpool. If MD had committed to being "the OCG simulator," then the Bo1 format would be less offputting, Maxx C's continued presence would be less of a war crime, and TCG players would have a way to get hyped about cards coming down the pipeline that they'll eventually be able to play in paper

I think MD's generous monetization model and its delayed card releases reflect a perspective of fear on the part of Konami that MD, if given all the current cards, would make it so nobody played or bought paper anymore. I think that's just not true. There are several very good free online simulators that let people play every yugioh card entirely for free, and paper continues to thrive.

Tl;dr give MD access to all OCG cards in real time. Also where tf is my Edison event

Zero percent chance this isn't a cover to launch something more predatory for monetization reasons.

I don't have fun at all - when I work out just to "work out," anyway. Then I have to think about it sort of like physical medicine. I do it cause it's good for me.

But if I can find a way to get the heart pumping that's primarily about doing an activity, with fitness just being secondary, I have a lot more fun. I recently got into boxing for fitness because kneee trouble was making high-impact cardio painful. Love it. Training becomes something to look forward to because boxing is fun rather than metaphorical castor oil that I swallow down because I need to.

Are these the ones with staples in them? I'd guess maybe something meta-ish that still needs more product to be totally competitive. Maybe like Tri-Brigade and Icejade?

This is like a whole thing with people looking for more environmentally friendly ways to ship stuff - tho rn it looks more like a hobby for rich people hauling their bougie wine and chocolate or whatever. I for one think that having sailing ships come back with modern features would be cool!
