Would banning threads users be a mod violation?

I don't really know that I have a duty to do that. And I've been beating the drum for a decade plus now. We see what little good it does. People just want the easiest UI/UX regardless of other considerations.
But I'm open to hearing your suggestion on how you teach someone on a corporate platform associated with Facebook how corporate owned internet is bad.
I could and should make my rule include a call to action to create an account on another instance. Is that sufficient education?

Tell your Monster Hunter origin story

I inherited my addiction from a coworker/friend. I was recruited to help him pass a wall he could not solo through in MHFU: the infamous Plesioth hipcheck barrier. He set me up with an LBG, probably the most straight forward weapon for a non-hunter gamer to grasp. From there, things just spiraled as I lost control of my life. Through fortunate timing, Tri was only months from release when I started my MHFU journey, so I developed my habit right as a steady supply of the primo ish was starting to come out, and I haven't wanted to or been able to shake the habit since.

Perhaps crazy how sudden and fast it happened, but not that it happened at all. Enshittification is a well known thing by now and it comes for all the corporate sites with IPO dreams. Any hope Reddit had of staying true to its purpose died with Aaron.
Lemmy/kbin/the fediverse has a better shot at resisting that due to the decentralized nature. But, the younger generations have some tech learning to do if all the reports about their general inability to use anything that's not an app is to be believed.

What's your Main?

Boomsticking is a noble profession, but seems to get the ass end of the stick for QoL and balance, based on what I read. I've never clicked with it, even in RiseBreak. And, pre-Shockproof, I was growing hateful of GLers for Bullet Barrage. But that jet propulsion system is cool as shit and looks fun.

Monster Hunter Wilds Announced

exact same experience, dude. It's why I couldn't muster hype in myself for whatever this was going to be. I knew it would be a "world 2" effectively after that success. I guess its time to just admit the mainline has passed me by. I'll just keep looking forward to eating up what the portable team cooks.
