  • Lemmy in general seems weird. At .org I had people rather have actual children fucker be free rather than tolerate the police scan all outgoing connections of an entire provider for a single IP over three day. It allowed them to catch the dudes behind a giant child porn website.

    I get that privacy is important and state control is dangerous, but at some point you need to show some common sense? That was not a “for the children™” moment or something, it was a concrete and successful strike against actual, significant child porn.

    I fucked off of the entire instance right after. What the fuck. I’m not going to have an argument about maybe scanning for an IP over three days is worth kids not getting raped in the arse and put online. Good God.






  • I might actually be able to answer that: toxic overcompetetive players can’t be kept out. As soon as a game is of a certain genre, size, design, they flood the game and complain about it being too easy and having no endgame, therefore being dead. Since toxic overcompetetive players dominate all online channels by sheer time spent alone, they raise the impression of being “what gamers want” while actually like being less than 10% of a playerbase.

    So far, every single game that started out as casual has become a playground for toxic overcompetetive players over time thanks to this mechanic. Funnily enough, the usual “you can just play something for casual” is usually being used after invading the casual game and demanding it turning more toxic and overcompetetive.
