Isn’t this why a lot of companies have essentially mandatory vacation for their accountants? Gives a baked in reason to have another set of eyes on the practices of the department.

I mean…recording it is a form of record keeping…

Not really interested in anything that even remotely mirrors “engagement” driven algorithms seen on other sites. It’s predictably resulted in siloing of information and the explosion of “rage-bait” content that’s pretty much taken over. Lemmy being different than that is a boon, not a deficit.

Boy, I sure hope Freddy is careful. Sounds like they’re in danger /s

But more seriously, Lemmy is developed by like, 5 people, most of whom are wholely anti-capitalist. I’d be quite surprised if any of the official devs jumped ship.

To be clear, I’m not saying that OP or anyone else shouldn’t miss what they had on Reddit. There are lots of things Lemmy won’t replicate or explicitly can’t. It was more a comment on the common complaints I see about how this community or that poster or this content is “dominating” their feed (which I discerned hints of in OP’s post), when it’s exceedingly easy to just remove the offending content from said feed. Will it 100% solve everyone’s problems? No. But it will almost certainly improve their experience concerning those complaints.

If you’re uncomfortable with the content you’re seeing, you should be more active in moderating that. Block users, block communities, stick to your subscription feed, etc. People in these spaces so often seem to resign themselves to having to deal with content they don’t like when they can absolutely change it on their own.

Take more autonomy in curating your experience here and you’ll have a much better time.

That was my thought. Impossible to say in just a few months, of course, but here’s hoping it’s legit!

Not sure if I just lack the morbid curiosity most people have, but I never understood the draw to look for those things. I’d hear about them and just put it on a mental list to never touch.

I got the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro a little while ago for the hall-effect joysticks and am liking it so far. Haven’t used it a bunch with my Deck, but when I did, it worked well. It’s $60, though, so maybe too pricey.

I’m assuming this is more a comment on the modern news cycle than about Reddit. Hell, most things barely last a few days outside of their immediate time frame, let alone a week.

Everyone has “custom” pronouns. Some just match possible preconceived notions about them.

Streaming services are bound and determined to make themselves Cable TV all over again. We had it good for a little while, at least.

Far Cry 3 was so frustratingly dumb and yet so popular. The gameplay was fine, but everyone was blowing up about the stupid ass sub-villain with his Philosophy 101 ”zingers" in “White, suburban YA saves ‘savages’ from themselves with horrendous war crimes” the game. It was really irritating.

As others have stated, it’s very little to do with being “prudes” and much more with being tired of horny anonymous posters just being horny. If it were something informative, that’s a whole other thing.

How would one find this? Is it just a console command?

There’s finally an open github issue that seems to be acknowledged, but it’ll be some time before this feature (if ever) ever gets implemented.

Fwiw, the devs seem quite open to (even directly requesting) people coding features they want and having them added into the main code in future versions. So if anyone is able and willing to make a working version of that for Lemmy, it could be added quite soon, really.

Likely as anything else. Rage-bait is the core of “content” these days. It’s why I pretty much refuse to click through any link like that. At least here they don’t get the benefit of ad views or algorithm tuning.

GoW is barely an rpg, let alone “more” of an rpg than one of the most rpg-centric franchise around. What a dumb take. Typical ign.

We’re all counting on you.
