If anything that would be the china thing to do. This whole article is probably paid for as distraction while they add another 20 coal power stations and continue destroying the world with co2 emissions.

ok defed them all idc. Defed .ml to if you want to use the bar analogy.

There is already a ton of open fascists on this platform. Our instance is defederated with some but not all of them. This is due to rule breaking behavior
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 6 days ago:
obviously but until they break the rules the whole instance shouldnt be defederated. I highly doubt an instance called magaland is going to last long though.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 6 days ago:
Good, the more people on this protocol the better. If they behave then they shouldnt be defederated. But most maga beliefs are already breaking every rule.
- Comment on Millions turn to AI chatbots for spiritual guidance and confession 1 week ago:
The stigma around therapy is shifting to people not trusting therapists to be effective. It doesn’t seem like people fault each other for having mental health struggles as much these days but people do not trust that a therapist will be of any help to them. When I talk with other people they say therapy was a waste of money/time even trying upwards of 10+ therapists.
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I just wish people could understand that not all of us are looking for a ‘sense of accomplishment’ from playing a video game. I get that some people value that, great, stop acting like everyone needs to be the same
Yeah this is why I think the ‘easy mode’ debate is so pointless. Majority of games cater to a frictionless generalized experience with a low barrier to entry (which I find very boring). The few games that try to challenge the players that like to be challenged arent designed to be for everyone. If every game was darksouls i’d understand the ‘easy mode’ side of the argument a lot more.
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I dont think fun is the right word because I dont think the run back is fun. Its annoying and everytime I die on the runback I am annoyed. But it helps me to slow down and stops me from tilting hard and dying 50x to the first boss attack. Instead I tilt and die 50x to the first skeleton near the bonfire :p
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 1 week ago:
They can still share tools and best practices but now they cant be involved in the post to post moderation.
As for controlling content, it isn’t like a corporation or political group can’t create 20 accounts and take over subs. That’s already happened on Reddit.
You cant do this if the mods are already doing this because the mods will remove the posts. Giving them a huge block of control over a majority of the content on the platform.
- Comment on The Purpose of Difficulty | GMTK Mini 1 week ago:
I think the runback is important. When you instantly spawn back in the fight you’re basically banging your head on the boss with zero pressure until you beat it. But with the runback in darksouls you’re forced to reset after each failed attempt and fight your way back. It makes boss fights feel more like boss fights in my opinion because there is that pressure of being sent back to the bonfire if you make a mistake against this powerful enemy.

Reddit can ban users across vpn with their automated system. Its even easier if they have tasked someone to look into doing it. I doubt people are taking enough steps to prevent the browser fingerprinting that gives them a unique signature.
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 1 week ago:
Not really. The powermods arent bringing anything unique moderation except a network that allows them to control content for a specific audience. This is not about enforcing subreddit rules its about subreddit mods pushing an agenda across their subs and pushing sponsored posts outsides reddits ad program.
Its overall a good thing but the powermods will be replaced with reddit admins doing the ame

- Comment on What would stop you from switching to a flip phone (or dumbphone) in 2025? 1 week ago:
Web browser. SMS and calling are completely useless. I need a phone so I can access the internet outside. I dont want a dumb 20 year old phone I want a modern phone without the pointless bullshit.
- Comment on Big Tech: Convenience is a Trap 2 weeks ago:
I am meaning it has “everything” the average user wants all in one place. For example on Facebook you can see news, talk with friends, share any media, play games, join communties for a wide variety of hobbies. Its also designed to keep you on site. This makes it a 1 stop shop for people. We can look at all the big platforms and see that they have a wide variety of content to keep the user entertained and methods to make them not want to go anywhere else.
I dont think its good, like the title of the post I think the convenience of everything being in a single site/app is a trap.

- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
I think its fine for a player new to the series but you’ve got to the type of person that is willing to learn and willing to die over and over. For people who play these kinds of games its not insane to expect them to pick it up.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 weeks ago:
I dont think there is any conversation to be had about an easy mode or boss runbacks. Any time this small dev team spends on an easy mode is time wasted IMO.
If its to hard you can play another game. I see this the same as people demanding a complex movie be changed to be easier to understand. Its just a dumb complaint and im sick of seeing these people flood every comment section of every slightly challenging game.

- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 3 weeks ago:
Exactly why the freedom for users to choose between different software is so important :)
- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 3 weeks ago:
I dont think that would help because chrome would offer good by default and apple would offer chrome by default for the “best experience” and they dont need the money. Then alternative browsers with an already low market share would get paid less to offer other search engines. Its risky to ship a non google search by default.
- Comment on Google gets to keep Chrome, judge rules in search antitrust case 3 weeks ago:
The only time I ever need to use a google bang is when im searching for something specifically local like a restaurant. DDG uses apple maps and apple maps is complete garbage.
When I cant find something on DDG and I use the !g 99% of the time I cant find it on google either.
- Comment on Been seeing a lot of posts about replacing Spotify and such, so I wrote up a guide on how I did just that 3 weeks ago:
You have to draw your own lines. For me I dont focus on all the bad choices, I pick something im interested in and then look at the options and try pick the choice I like the most. One thing at a time and before you know it you’ve made major choices in several areas of daily life.
