I will buy the explanation that the game is too old to continue to support when they stop adding new microtransactions every six months or so

Convenience and familiarity, mostly. If you go to a McDonalds you know exactly what you’ll get and you’ll be able to get it pretty quick.
the smell of heavily chlorinated water. i used to spend a heck of a lot of time at the pool when i was a kid, and where i live now there aren’t nearly as many pools, so it’s not something encountered often anymore.
Differences in instance-level topical focus and moderation philosophy, for one. Also physical location and “vibe”.
There are a certain set of bigoted and/or extremist instances that I would judge an instance for not defederating from. There’s a reason I’ve stuck with .world even through some turbulence. Some heinous shit shouldn’t be tolerated by anyone.
As an aside, check out [email protected] if you haven’t already.
If someone’s email domain is @ihateminorities.com, I’d say that’s pretty fair grounds for blocking it.
There are some instances that actively promote hateful or extremist content, and exist for the purpose of hosting it. There are others that do not actively support that content but do allow it, anywhere, making blocking one community not enough. Defederation is an important tool and should be used wisely.
I think stuff like this: https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199
is what’s more provably worrying. Modlogs are public, and if I’m interpreting this information correctly, I think the devs are engaging in scummy practices.
My standard advice to anyone new or returning - check out mastercomfig if you’re experiencing any performance issues or just want to squeeze out a bit better graphics from your setup. Thing’s a godsend.
Funny time to ask, a seasonal update just came out and the game apparently broke its peak playercount numbers.
If you are going to keep trying to avoid the actual point I’m making by conveniently refusing to read or acknowledge the post I’ve linked, then there’s nothing more to say.
…Dude, that literally links to a post on this instance.
https://lemmy.ml/post/1167199 <- this is the link.
It’s stuff like this that makes me think so.
You know, if that’s truly the only reason and it turns out I’m wrong I’ll gladly eat that L, and it would be a relief. I’ve just heard some iffy things specifically about it all.
EDIT: it’s stuff like this that I’m talking about.
A quick Google gave me Mali, which is why I said as such.
But frankly I do not believe it is about being cheap, I do indeed think it’s as the other comment said - Marxist-Leninist.
Yes, I’m aware. My point is why did they pick .ml, specifically?
Lemmy devs are/aren’t tankies
What does the ml
stand for in lemmy.ml? I don’t think the instance is based out of Mali…
I scrambled, shredded, and then deleted my Reddit account after getting my data request back. I’m done with that place because I can only see it going downhill from here - site will only get more enshittified over time, this was the tipping point.
I don’t need Lemmy to compete with or kill Reddit. All I wanted was any one platform to get enough of an influx of users to be self-sustaining even after the outrage started to die down, which appears to have been successful.
Genuinely, I just use the site itself either on desktop or my phone. I’ve tried Jerboa, Summit, and Thunder, and while they’re all good (Thunder was my favorite), the base webpage (with the darkly-compact theme) is more than good enough for my needs. That this is true is a great achievement on the part of the Lemmy devs, in my opinion.
Baldur’s Gate 3.
I played through one single player save and two multiplayer ones with different groups, enjoyed it all - but only got a little ways into Act 3 on any one save. A combination of middling performance with my older rig and just having sank so much time in I burnt out a little.
Still think it’s a fantastic game, but I don’t know if I’ll ever go back to finish it - I feel like I’d have to start a whole new save.
