  • I think it's still like that, actually.

  • I appreciate the honesty.

  • Ugh. I understand being a bit on edge in these dark times, but lashing out at people on your side doesn't help anything.

  • Is lemmy.ml is the second largest instance? Or at least rapidly growing? That would explain why it feels this way.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately?

  • NiGHTS into Dreams has its dialogue written entirely in a made up "dream language", and that's when it has dialogue at all. The sequel ditched this angle entirely though.

  • Charlie's Inferno is about an innocent man being tortured in Hell. It's a 50's style tune reminiscent of Mr Sandman.

  • Fascist propaganda is highly effective, and no one is immune to propaganda. Humans are emotional creatures, prone to being whipped up into a frenzy. You identify a(n imaginary) threat, and offer a very simple solution to it. The logic of whether or not the solution sounds morally correct doesn't matter because 1.) The problem is made up anyways and 2.) The propagandist is appealing to the id, not the superego.

    Remember that thinking is the greatest threat to fascism, exercise your brain as often as possible.

  • Don't act like it can't happen here. There are some deeply unhappy people on this website.

    1. Try not to fall into the trap of groupthink. The "reddit hive mind" was one of the worst things about our predecessor, and it seems to have followed us here.
    2. Understand that humans are not, and never will be, perfect. Endless purity tests do not accomplish anything other than turning away newcomers.
    3. For the love of God, pick up a hobby. My feed on any given day is 99.8% US politics and activism. I'm not saying that these things aren't important, but it gets exhausting when it's the only thing people want to discuss.
  • "To make a cup of coffee, you must first invent the universe."

  • Remember when the Xbox One announced that always on shit and people thought it was going to kill the brand and make MS drop out of the console wars? That was far stupider than what Nintendo is doing now, and they still survived.

  • No Stupid Questions @lemmy.world

    Is it possible to switch instances without making a new account?

  • I think OP was looking for something within their power.

  • Then say that instead. That's a common saying most people are aware of. I've seen Silicon Valley types promise all kinds of shit before, so this just fits right in.

  • It's a computer program that turns the hard work of artists and utterly ridiculous amounts of water into samey, uncanny abominations. To compare that to the moon landing? I don't even have words for that.

  • Even in a hypothetical utopia, the thought of a sea of slop drowning the creative world makes my skin crawl. Imagine putting your heart and soul into something only to watch some machine liquify it into an ugly paste in a nanosecond, then it goes on to do the same thing a million times in a row. It's hard enough to get noticed in this world, and now every passion project has to compete with the diseased inbred freak clones of other passion projects? It makes me feel so goddamn angry that some asshole felt the need to invent such a thing, and for what? What problem does it solve? Why do you need to use up a cities worth of water to make a six fingered Sailor Moon?

    Generated "art" does not rule.

  • They actually already did change the rating for the virtual console release of Red/Blue. I always thought it was stupid, because the game corner was explicitly run by the bad guys.

  • Channel Awesome was run by a guy named Mike Michaud, who was a really shit boss. Pretty much anything you expect HR to do is something he neglects. Harassment was rampant, contributors were scripted into situations that they weren't comfortable with, nobody was notified about massive changes to the site, the works. Some stayed quiet because they feared retribution from man child Mike, others were either fired or quit in protest. This all bubbled up for years until a 70 Google doc detailing every single instance of neglect and hostility that went on behind the scenes was published, at which point CA collapsed like cheap cardboard. The document is freely available online, but since you're looking for a short version, I'll just summarize thusly:

    Mike Michaud is a parasite that feeds on content creators and gives nothing in return. Also, his stench attracts roaches.
