This post is 2 years old, but I just wanted to point out how funny it is to call lemmy users lemmings.

Idk if you’re joking or not but I’m pretty sure some person posted a fediverse version of a dating app yesterday somewhere lol.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for that one to take off though.

Yeah, got YouTube music after they shut down Google play music. All my friends dog on me for not having Spotify but not having ads on iOS is so nice. I tried it once without youtube premium subscription and idk how people can sit through advertisment hell for every video.

Also having the creators I watch get a larger share of the YouTube money pie cause I watch them as a YouTube premium sub is a nice feeling too.

That being said though, I’m on a family plan and not this specific plan that got its price raised (although I’m pretty sure the family plan prices have also gone up recently if I remember right).

I had the same question opening this thread so I googled it.

the interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.

Bury them in the desert

Are the customers forced to pay for tracking? Does Etsy have a rule against sellers paying for the tracking? I’ve never used Etsy before so I’m not sure exactly how it works.

I’d feel more comfortable having a tracking number on any package I order.

I’ve read little to no ubuntu documentation (aside from stuff like installation and very basic troubleshooting). Have you noticed any improvement to it? I think this post is 2 years old so I’d assume there’d be at least a bit of little change.

Aren’t a ton of Lemmy users from Reddit? That being said, I’ve had more positive interactions here than on Reddit, but I haven’t been on Lemmy that long.

I’m sure those will comes in time too I guess

Do you know of any Lemmy communities that post gaming clips? I see a ton about gaming discussions and gaming news but none with gameplay.

The UFC and MMA subs haven’t moved yet despite there being a few communities on lemmy. I still go to reddit for those.

I haven’t played too many valve games. The only complaint I ever hear about valve is exactly what you said: they don’t release enough. There’s only so many left for dead mods I can play.

Oh ya, I feel that. I casually follow the smash bros scene (mostly ultimate) and sometimes Nintendo confuses me from how hard they try to shut that stuff down. Going after Project M, maybe Slippy, melee, tournaments in general.

I guess they might be wicked greedy. Far from the worst gaming related company I know though. I mean just off the top of my head, I’m still a bit bitter about “Overwatch 2”. Paywalling heroes and calling it fair. Terrible battle pass. And the whole bait and switch with Modern Warfare 2. Promise a two year call of duty then rug pull after they made their sales. And the buggy messes that all those games come wrapped up in. Plus the whole sexual harassment lawsuits, but that’s a whole separate matter.

Maybe I don’t play enough Nintendo, but every time I’ve picked up one of their games, I don’t feel any pressure to spend extra on any microtransactions or pay more to get ahead of other people. I mean, I’m sure there are examples, but looking at other companies I’d say they’re decent by comparison.

ngl, I totally forgot Nintendo existed when I wrote that comment, I feel like they still put in a ton of effort into their games and are mostly still loved too.

Have there been any studios that have been loved, gotten way bigger, and didn’t become wicked greedy?

Yeah. Sometimes it feels like it’s just people patting themselves on the back for not using Reddit, which is completely ok, but I’d also like to see other stuff. Like from subreddit I used to subscribe to.

As much as I’d like to see an alternative to YouTube on the fediverse, I can’t see myself using it much unless my favorite content creators move on over there too. And I can’t see them moving.
