I haven’t been on Reddit since the API fallout, but I rarely ever saw right wingers, nevermind bots.
That says more about you than about the site lol

There’s a reason so many comments of his were removed lmao. Try not to feed the trolls

Why tolerate the intolerant? They can host whatever they want, but there’s no reason not to exclude them if they intend on bringing harm. Tbh the word “excluded” doesn’t really fit, exclusion would be like someone getting kicked out of a bar, defederating would be more like the bouncer not letting you in.
At the end of the day even if it’s gonna be defederated by every other instance, nobody’s gonna forbid them from starting their own “bar” like the one shown, which means they’re not really excluded from the fediverse.

they are literally living in an alternative reality
Hmm, reminds me of a country that starts with R that the current US president’s trying to save.
- Comment on The Crew from Ubisoft gets revived thanks to the The Crew Unlimited project 2 weeks ago:
Same, picked it up on a whim a few months before the shutdown, couldn’t put it down. They got the tone perfectly, and the map is really good, and their progression system actually requires you to play the game. It felt magical, like a NFS World sequel of my dreams, the only downside was trying to set up steering properly.
Then i tried the crew 2, and haven’t tried it since, just doesn’t feel as good. - Comment on Social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in Turkey 4 weeks ago:
Nothing of value to be found outside the few people that actually give a fuck making YouTube videos
Maybe where you live. Massively popular platforms like these are pretty good at gathering people for rallies/protests and spreading investigations, news and fundraisers.
Best case scenario is people switch to decentralized media, worst case - the momentum for their rallies is ruined and ppl get arrested for saying the wrong things online. Then (most likely) these platforms get unblocked and everyone forgets about it.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
Makes sense, blurays are at like 50MB/s read, at least you could keep the disc and share it
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
I think that’s a bit too big to be just the OS, they have like 50GB of built-in stuff (share factory+astro but you can uninstall both). It’s probably something sensible like 60GB but they’re playing it safe by doubling the reserved space. It’s Sony after all
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
You lose some because 825GB refers to 825.000.000.000 bytes, divide by 1024 and you get 768GB usable space. In the early days of ps5 there was 667GB left over after OS and stuff
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
You can still get modern games on a bluray, but people started valuing convenience in the moment over everything else. That’s why digital-only consoles got so huge, on top of being cheaper.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 weeks ago:
I mean… you can still use physical media for games, just prepare for it to be awfully slow unless it’s like a tiny indie game or something low-fi. As for the console makers, they still offer non-digital models. Idk who’s “they” in this instance,
- Comment on YSK that you can force Windows 10 to open your default browser instead of MS Edge with MSEdgeRedirect 4 weeks ago:
In exists because too many people install and use versions with edge

Didn’t the try something similar in 2042 but on their own servers?
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 2 months ago:
We wouldn’t have several full games is my point
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t be so sure. Modern AAA games are insanely big and resource-intensive. Just look at rdr2

There’s a video of a guy looking at both of those statues, linked it in my other comment while I’m looking for a higher res version. Too stable for ai

It’s not a normal bathroom, found it on some random website, doesn’t seem like a typically planned room lol
- Comment on Rockstar Games Plans Age Verification For GTA Online 2 months ago:
On the flip side, it’s given it insane longevity and made it feel more modern. Playing singleplayer feels so annoying at times because of their arbitrary rules (which are still in online, but toned down a little) and gameplay/mission design.
At least GTAO showed everyone rockstar’s true nature, and you couldn’t turn away or say that it’s a small alternative game mode.
So shoutout to online and 5 as a whole for showing me enough to avoid all future rockstar titles lol - Comment on There are too many cases where this applies or is going to apply 2 months ago:

- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 2 months ago:
I mean the lack of privacy directly fucking them over. They have already proven to be unable to extrapolate actions leading to consequences beyond like 1 or 2 steps.

Didn’t HMD make a couple of those too? Obv not the same country of origin but from what I’ve seen they’re considerably cheaper

I don’t think these people will ever realize anything, until it severely fucks with their quality of life at least

- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 months ago:
*illegal shit would not be protected.
They can push for some law that makes certain groups or their depictions illegal. Then it’s their morals becoming a law.
If there’scorruptionlobbying, there’s a way for them to twist “illegal” into “immoral”, which is fucked.
