  • I spend less than before. I used to not buy keys from third party stores, but now I do. I always bought on release, full prices, but now I don’t care any longer if they get my money. The few indie devs that care, sell for less and with less greedy tactics, they get the full money on release or early access.

    Everything from Ubisoft/EA/Blizzard is pirated because they deserve no money anymore, they are shit companies that should go bankruptcy.

    And even for the few I bought, I might go gamepass now. I regret that I bought a key for Starfield and Cities Skylines 2, should’ve not trusted them. I’ll not pay for their next games/dlcs as I first have to get my money back I spend on them.

    I also started to give way more negative press to friends and online, now that games got more expensive I expect better quality. It’s an easy deal.




  • Maybe the option should be removed, because technically you could create your own private Lemmy instance and mirror everything but disable deletion. Now you have all the information available people deleted. You could go even further and create a browser plugin so everyone else could see all deleted posts. You could do the same and create a plugin, to display usernames of everyone who voted on a post, as that information is publicly available. It’s just hidden. So there’s still a lot of work on Lemmy required to streamline this or it might get never solved.

    On another note you could create an instance that only displays deleted content. Now I wonder what that looks like. Scary.











  • Yes, nationalizing YouTube would work, or more so an Internal team, founded by all nations. Btw Germany has some sort of "Youtube", paid by people and not government founded. It's very limited as you can't upload and only watch. The content is also only what is decided by the owners. Theoretically we'd just need to expand that, to allow uploads and get money by more than just the German citizens. I always had that dream, as it would provide a fully ads free platform. Not sure why that isn't already a thing, as video platforms are an integral part of our society by now.
