    I disagree.

    Would you prefer the direction Activision-Blizzard is going in, by profiting off of users in predatory practices within their games like now?

    Man, so much doom talk with you guys. What is the better alternative? Remain the status-quo? Because in doing so, that is a worse condition for consumers in comparison. And fuck that word too, CONSOOMER, because it’s a dirty word that blankets all of society to be like cattle with wallets. That’s what we’re all are now? Where’s the dignity?




  • There’s no excuse anymore as to what’s there to find out about a game that’ll determine whether or not it’s worth it to pre-order. It all boils down to - FOMO. Nobody wants to be that person, who’ll get the game a week after or even a day after. They want to be there Day 1. They want to be there as the first batch of people who’ve bought the game. They want to be the first to review it, to stream it, to have hands on .etc Whatever reason they prop up as an excuse to pre-order in the first place.

    And I wouldn’t restrict it to This Year, it should be an all around precaution of common sense. Games are steadily going into the $70 default price tag now and yet there’s gullible people who’ll still slap down just for bragging rights and FOMO.




  • Yeah let’s just keep bullying the person for not being browbeaten and downvote them to oblivion. What a Reddit way to act against someone who doesn’t want to be browbeaten.

    I wish I didn’t have to do this on a new platform but now I’m going to. I am instantly blocking people who’re going to charge at me and brow beat me more into using a password manager. Fuck. Off. I will not be nice to you about it because you are directly messing with my free choice and if I choose to not use a password manager - I’m not going to! And I’ve not once have had a security breach on any account that I’ve had and if my method has been proven true and working - I’m definitely not going to use a password manager! No, I’m not “misunderstanding” anything, you’re just being a browbeating prick so again - FUCK OFF!!

    I will not use a password manager and I refuse to be browbeaten into using one. Fucking, this bullshit of just generalizing everyone as if they’re not responsible for how they regulate and maintain sensitive information is getting fucking aggravating. Shut the fuck up!

    People with these annoying catch-all solutions that think are applicable to everyone, are as annoying as all of those damn informercials that proclaim their As-Seen-It on TV product is going to entirely change someone’s lifestyle at a whim just by calling today and covering shipping and handling. Not everyone is that irresponsible with their passwords, only the large majority do because they’re people who barely even know how to use a computer, much less even navigate in a browser. They’re the people who did download everything that had a big green DOWNLOAD button on a site.

    Well I’m not one of those fucking people! And if it bothers you so god damn much that I’m not taking your all-seeing and all-knowing ‘wisdom’ then you can take your password management solution and fucking choke on it!






  • It’s okay to still use these sites, I’ll admit that right now, I have a reddit account again. But that’s out of spite for the simple fact that I refuse to have my voice be silenced. I may have been banned multiple times on subreddits and reddit itself for petty dumb opinionated reasons (no I’m not a racist, sexist, bigot…). But, I kept coming back because again, I refused to be silenced and let them have the ‘victory’ of snuffing a voice out.

    It’s another thing though, to have a Reddit account and going around to people wanting to be done with Reddit, by trying to convince and lure them into coming back on here. People have made up their mind about Reddit and everything that has happened within the past two weeks, cemented those choices. Quite frankly, if you ask me, getting blown up over the porn/NSFW situation is a little silly in comparison to the third party issue.

    People have an assortment of reasons to still use these platforms, it’s fine, except the ones who’re Pro-Spez, Pro-Musk .etc Then I say - you have problems.

    Your safety depends on how curious you are and how far it leads you. You can be considered safe, by being in one solitary place at all times and doing next to nothing. You always risk your safety when you go exploring. There is not a single platform that perfects safety among it’s community, with the exception of implementing tools and features that’d at least provide security so that exposure and exploitation is kept at a strict minimum.

    The sad reality is, is that, I wouldn’t put it past Lemmy for it to contain at least a handful of these bored shitposting edgelords with too much time on their hands. Then again, is it really Lemmy’s fault? You’re going to come across a band of these people on all walks of the internet, it’s just a matter of what volume of them that there is and whether or not it can be regulated and enforced by the community on whether or not they’re welcomed.


  • I’ve gotten pegged by people when I reposted something I knew very well, hadn’t been posted within a year’s timeframe. Like, what’s the problem with that? It hasn’t been seen in so long so yeah it’ll be reposted.

    Unlike with your second scenario, I’ve seen posts crop up within the same day and they’re all gratified and praised like as if people hadn’t seen them before when their short attention spans fail to tell them that they did see it before very recently.
