Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Oh yeah like the API hissy fits that shown just how weak reddit protests really are.

[–] Fizz 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The reddit api protest was actually effective if people actually reacted properly. Shutting down the subreddit made reddit go a step to far and force them open. That should have destroyed the community trust in reddit and caused a mass migration. But alas apathy

Didn't a lot of mods just open up again after by choice too? If more of them took a firm stance then perhaps reddit wouldn't have been able to replace them all so easily.

I don't know if there will ever be a better opportunity to have a large anti-reddit movement though, wouldn't be surprised if they have worked to prevent it since then.

Yes but having reddit step in shows how much it hurt

[–] HerbGrower@slrpnk.net 3 points 19 hours ago

Yes, and also that it was the time to push harder. Go ahead, make then have to pay people to moderate their platform. See how long that lasts. Even encourage extreme shitposting and upvoting shit content to sabotage the site.

Hey now, I've been here for 3 years and my reddit accounts haven't seen a login since. If everyone else went back that'd on them.

It will convince some, but probably not enough to make a difference. Sony is betting that the increased revenue per customer will greatly offset those choosing to leave their platform.
