Because - and this is the only real answer you’ll get - Starfield is “cool” and “normies” are looking forward to it. Therefore, the “real gamers” must hate it, ESPECIALLY before actually playing it.
Same shit you see in any niche community. Buncha nerds hating on anything too big or popular.
That’s why it’s so juicy, they’re all such terrible people we don’t have to pick sides
“Nazis, people who liberated Auschwitz, what’s the difference?”
Everyone ignored the latter part of your first comment because this part is the meat of it. I don’t think you actually care about the technical differences between fascism and communism, and I bet neither does EnglishMobster. Quit pretending that’s what this is about. You actually do think one is worse than the other.
Tankies love motorized goalposts
imo there should always be an explanation for every defederation. It should be a requirement.
The issue at play is the big corporate companies
I’m guessing you weren’t around before these guys ate up the internet?
The issue at play IS the big corporate companies. Period.
Modern web usage has allowed for better accessibility to all ages and types.
One could argue that this is part of the problem.
Ah the age old bullshit.
“Hey, I kinda care about my rights–”
“FUCK YOU, YOU’RE AIDING TERRORISTS AND PEDOPHILES”
Some spaces approach like 99% private. Tails + encryption for example. Still can’t ensure against governments monitoring tor exit nodes but other than that you’re pretty well golden.
Because it’s another “WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE CHILDREN” hysteria bait post.
They found 112 images of cp in the whole Fediverse. That’s a very small number. We’re doing pretty good.
We do know they only found, what, 112 actual images of CP? That’s a very small number. I’d say that paints us in a pretty good light, relatively.
Yeah no. “Needs to be purged” is not the language you’d use if you want to head off some sort of accusation. That’s just straight up personal hatred.
Coding is the future
Yeah according to coders lol
Fediverse just skews tech heavy. The average person doesn’t even know what a file is.
Which is a tiny fraction of Instagram, which is all it is currently.
Yes. And I’m saying it’s worth it.
If they don’t interact with the fediverse, it’s just another Instagram except worse than actual Instagram. It won’t gain popularity or become profitable.
Bingo. Conflating “every instance that ever said anything mean should be defederated” with “we should very specifically defederate Threads”.
Is the fediverse experiencing its first astorturfing? This is a serious echo of the kinds of stuff we see in other astorturfing campaigns. Straw man, muddying water, “just asking questions”, etc
There’s two separate issues here. There’s some people demanding their instance defederate from others because it had one or two nsfw communities, or one poster on one thread in one community said something they don’t like. These people are ridiculous and need to touch grass.
Then there’s some people demanding defederation from Meta because of how demonstrably horrible they are.
This thread is conflating the two, possibly on purpose. The former group is ridiculous, the latter group is sensible.
Exactly. I’ve been playing Bethesda games for ages, news like this makes me happy they’re keeping the stuff that works.
