  that’s great, but most vegans you speak to will tell you that we aren’t telling the people who lack the privilege we do to go vegan. we’re asking our neighbors, our bosses, our friends - people in similar if not the very same life circumstances as us - to walk a couple aisles over from where they buy the meat in the grocery store and buy some beans instead.

  people love to bring up the privilege thing, but i would argue that it is entirely irrelevant. the entire point of veganism is to do what is reasonably possible and practicable. not to tell people who don’t have the privilege to be so discerning about their diet that they are going to hell or something.

  i say something like this often in real life, but despite it being plainly observable in daily life other people still don’t agree.

  it’s on all scales too, or at least it feels like it. moving everything to streaming, always online, etc. want to play a competitive video game with your friends? give a corporation root-level access to your home computer. ads everywhere some greedy ass in a suit can think to stick them whether you pay or not, yet everyone complies like this is normal and i get singled out for caring about our rights as consumers.

  i love capitalism i love money

  i don’t think many people would consider posts that are literally paid advertisements part of “our space”

  mosa lina rules! i love that people are finding that game because it’s very unique and executes it’s simple concept extremely well.

  everyone knows as long as you haphazardly defend some arbitrarily chosen animal (digital btw) on the internet it offsets the tens of billions of real animals humans kill per year

  got a handful of games in the steam sale, and I’m currently about halfway through bugsnax - it’s really enjoyable so far. planning to start either hypnospace outlaw or the new ultrakill update after.

  your point about them trying to federate as a defense against new regulations is one i hadn’t considered before. however, that doesn’t reduce the potential harm of federating with threads. facebook/meta have proven at practically every possible chance that they are not to be trusted with even the most inconsequential of things and should be avoided by anyone smart enough to recognize this.

  it sounds to me like you are suggesting that federating with threads will prevent them from having that out of “see? we tried”, but i feel that cooperating with facebook/meta in any way is a compromise on my morals that i simply can’t justify.

  i’d love to hear what potential benefits you (or anyone else who wants to contribute) believe federating with threads will bring to us other than a ton of users from a different ecosystem, as the discourse around this has been pretty all over the place recently and i think we need more measured opinions on this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a way to see user likes and dislikes on lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  it sounds so stupid and the first time I did it I felt a little silly, but doing this really works. anyone who is angry with you (without a good reason at least) has no idea how to respond given genuine kindness in response to an attack. plus it’s nice to be a positive voice in the world, and I’m sure many people who are angry on the internet could benefit from being told that they matter and are loved :)

  got a chance to try lethal company on steam - it’s a really fun online co-op horror roguelike where you scavenge for parts on moons that may or may not be inhabited. corporate doesn’t care what’s in these caves as long as it makes them money. great with friends or randoms, the proximity chat makes for a fun and scary experience with a drg / viscera cleanup style corporate setting.

  also played through most of greener grass awaits, which is a unique and fun horror golf game - also free. i recommend at least trying it out, the horror gameplay elements mesh with the golf in a novel way that makes for a rare horror game with engaging moment to moment gameplay.

  a short hike reinvigorated my love for indie games! it’s such a beautiful game with a cute little story and fun things to do, and doesn’t overstay it’s welcome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨youtube getting more agressive⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  not so much that they like to be used by companies, but that they don’t care enough to change or learn how to stop it. for most people, the idea of giving up their favorite online service because of ads or whatever other predatory anti consumer shit it implements is a little extreme.

  as long as it works, the vast majority of people who are not tech-literate will just use it regardless.
