Do you expect to see the site die in a week?

How far back do you think user engagement on r/place will stall reddit failing?

Do you think not using the canvas would cause more harm than their favorite event being covered in language shitting on the CEO and making the pretty canvas not marketable?

Personally, I strongly disagree if you do think so. Even if every Lemmy user drove 0 traffic to reddit, it would change very little of their day to day engagement.

It's important in the long term to move away from reddit and reduce engagement of the site, but the cost benefit ratio of fucking up the marketability of r/place strongly outweighs the effect users would have engaging the site.

Elect better leadership. A state government run by a criminal mafia isn't going to operate in your best interest.

Edit: Of course I've got some raging prick cussing me out below because I said go vote. You can't even tell a Texan to vote without them giving up. This is the reasons the Republicams run this state. The voter suppression they cause can be overcome with effort, which was my point.

But the voter suppression caused by the apathy and laziness of the masses is not something that can be overcome from external forces. So either spend your effort in response to this crying about voting being impossible or work to coordinate.

I already know the outcome after having this conversation in Texas constantly for the last 20 years.

Having limited access to a resource to then hook you on microtransactions is from mobile game design. It's literally a freemium mechanic being put into an already upscaled price game.

It's one of the most abusive and addictive ways to develop a game, and you want to portray that positively.

I fucking hate gamers. We've been having this conversation since the horse Armor DLC for Oblivion yet here we fucking are.

Lmao, I reported genocidal comments in r/worldnews and was site banned for the same reason.

I had 4 reports total, 2 were acted on and the other 2 were pretty blatant calls to violence.

It's actually what made me quit Reddit.

I dont understand what his protest was for. I'm sure there is extreme emotional duress from losing a child that recently, but what was the goal or message here?

Made himself look like a fool who cares more about politics than the death of his son to me.

I'd give him a break due to his grieving, but honestly, it's pathetic that he would let his love for his son be manipulated for political points.

He was literally trying to use his son's death to help the man who gave the orders that got his son killed.

What is the intentional meaning of Scott Pilgrim besides being an awkward teen brained romance plot?

He went down and tried to separate the girls in their sleep while putting his hands on them.

One girl describes how unsafe she felt for her drugged friends when he was trying to separate them.

Biden wasn't involved in the Afghanistan pullout, actually. That was definitively Trump.

They let Mods use mod profiles to spread misinformation in this sub?

Wow.

Edit:

Moving the relevant bits from Wikipedia above the debate so people will have a frame of reference.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020%E2%80%932021_U.S._troop_withdrawal_from_Afghanistan

The United States Armed Forces completed their withdrawal from Afghanistan on 30 August 2021, marking the end of the 2001–2021 war. In February 2020, the Trump administration and the Taliban signed the United States–Taliban deal in Doha, Qatar,[7] which stipulated fighting restrictions for both the US and the Taliban, and provided for the withdrawal of all NATO forces from Afghanistan in return for the Taliban's counter-terrorism commitments. The deal, and then the Biden administration's final decision in April 2021 to pull out all US troops by September 2021 without leaving a residual force, were the two critical events that triggered the start of the collapse of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).[8

Imagine that, buying cheap sludge from a waste plant in an unregulated capitalist state had negative outcomes?

Wow!

I dont follow speed runners. I know there is a corner hop hack to skip most of the game in Zelda: OoT. Is it common across other speed runs, or is this a reference to that specific bug?

Republicans are terrorist traitors and should be treated as such.

Nah, tetris is literally still going. Today is too diversified to compare success with success of pre/early internet eras.

Opinion pieces and YouTube videos. Nice sources. It's some real irony at work as you scrub other peoples content on the sub for including video links. The last one is literally directly a result of Trumps orders, and that is the most credible link you shared. You are spreading misinformation.

What changes to Trumps Afghanistan retreat did Biden implement?

The flood of Putin worshipers trying to sell the idea that everybody except for Russia are white supremacists who have to be killed by Russia is pretty obnoxious.

They don't even write to the topics they are responding on, they just leave 5 page copy paste essays on the CIA, a group that isn't elected or representative of the American people in any way.

I tangled with them in one of their subs and they scrubbed all my questions about what part of executing Navalny secretly in prison was justice.

They say he said bad words so secret state killing was justified but also there is no proof it was a secret killing as Russia is perfect.

It's exhausting to have to share space with these people.

Is this something you spend a lot of time thinking about?

Lmao

Exactly, this is a huge marketing event for them. If the marketability of Reddit is shown to be "FUCK SPEZ FUCK SPEZ FUCK SPEZ", that is going to cost them in terms of that white glove corporate cleanliness they crave to provide and profit off of.

In America alone, the top .1% capture over 90% of all newly generated wealth.

It's just math over time until the concentration of wealth gets even denser.

So, do we want the Biden administration to continue to work towards supporting Palestine, or do we want them to revert back to a hard defense of Israel and ramp up arms production?

Lemmy users are fucking braindead when it comes to building support for unified movements in America, and it shows time and time again.

This might be news for yall, but a nation of people does not change course overnight.

Yall do realize you are supposed to reward positive actions to encourage more of them right? If you punish people for doing the right thing the same way you punish them for doing wrong, you are just fucking up your own message.
