Yeah, I was about to say, 99% of people are either unaware or do not care. Don’t mistake Lemmy’s privacy opinions as representative of the general population.

Awesome, the episode they added to the original Quake was fantastic so this should deliver as well. Also, I never played the N64 game either. Nightdive is too good for this world.

For real. I imagine they’ll be finding someone new, but no one will ever truly be able replace him.

Cool, now make the search useful again by letting me do -thingIdon’twant or “thing I do want” in quotes. Why did that functionality even go away? Search is such garbage now that tries to get you to click on shit you didn’t search for.

I love the content/creators, but hate the company that runs it. Sadly, unless you are willing to give up the channels you love there isn’t much in the way of alternatives.

Let’s not think about the Reddit of today, let’s think about Reddit of old. Rome wasn’t built in a day.

I can agree with this to a degree, but can’t we just not think of reddit? I mean, back then, I don’t recall redditors obsessing over other sites as much as I have seen on lemmy. Digg was the top dog, and I don’t recall daily threads about reddit’s numbers or how it wasn’t matching up.

It was just it’s own thing and not constantly comparing itself to it’s alleged competition. I feel like that helped it grow into it’s own thing, and we should give lemmy a chance to do the same instead of trying to turn it into reddit 2.0. That said, I might just be forgetting—there could’ve been constant ‘sky-is-falling-because-we-aren’t-Digg’ posts—but I just don’t recall them.

I was on reddit before the digg exodus, and the current state of lemmy feels somewhat reminiscent of those times. When communities are smaller there is just a completely different feel than the 1 million+ subscriber goliaths some subreddits became.

It felt very much in the vein and quality of the previous Guardians films to me, so I figured, if people loved those, they would also love this. Personally, I thought it was probably one of the better non-Spider-Man marvel offerings we have gotten in a while. The last phase had a lot of underwhelming releases.

From where I sit, this instance of Lemmy is too small to worry about bots denying the users. 😉

Is it? I myself have gone to post something I found interesting, and saw a bot beat me to the punch. I feel it hurts the smaller communities even more. You end up with those bot post graveyards. Though, I get this a complete non-issue to some; It’s why I suggested letting the communities and moderators themselves decide. I see no harm in that.

My personal preferences make me more likely to comment and contribute to content posted by other humans. I get lemmy is small right now, but I don’t see why communities should wait to address these bots when they are already clearly a divisive subject.

The problem is that this seems like a band-aid fix to me. I mentioned this in another thread, but I feel like the bot posts deny the human chance to post and engage with the same content. When a human is the one to create the post they often have both knowledge and passion for the subject and will continue to engage in the comments. Bots do not.

I think ultimately this is something that should be handled by community mods. Ask for feedback from their communities, and if it’s what the people want disallow the bot posts.

Same, I had a knee-jerk angry reaction until I saw that it was free.

I never saw this when it was new. I don’t know if it was ever pinned, but, if not, maybe that would have given this more traction due to visibility? I think post like this from just yesterday show it’s still divisive.

That’s a good point. If I didn’t see that they were bot accounts it would probably be an ignorance-is-bliss situation. I just wouldn’t notice. Though, using desktop, it’s fairly obvious since most have the “b” next to their names that also include “bot”.

A lot of the time, you’ll see OP engage in the comments of what they post because they themselves have a personal interest in it. You don’t get that with bots. I have to wonder if bots are denying humans that chance. Someone goes to post something they found, but the reddit repost bot already pulled it from some subreddit’s new feed.

I can understand this take; I realize it probably boils down to personal preference, but seeing the mod bot with 2 of the top posts of the last 6 hours just feels like a bad look for a community to me. It’s stated purpose:

I’m a bot designed to increase content created on Lemmy, to try and jump-start communities, and make Lemmy overall a more enjoyable place

This is a relatively active community, and I don’t think it really needs to be “jump started” anymore. Let humans post the content. That’s what I want to see and engage with. I still think there is a place for bot posts, but with a much more limited scope (episode discussion threads, sports scores as was mentioned elsewhere, etc.). Nothing turns me off a community faster than seeing half the top post from a bot.

Danny McBride sure likes to put dicks in his show—both figurative and literal.

I understand why Warren Ellis was ousted, but—having read plenty of his comics back in the past—so much of what made Castlevania great was clearly his own style he brought to it. The personalities that he infused the characters with was a huge part of my personal enjoyment. I wish people would stop ruining things just because they were horny, and can’t behave appropriately.

The new writer/showrunner doesn’t have much to his name for something like this, but i’m totally willing to give it a shot.

I have just been using this script. Simple and works great. Also, it let’s you setup multiple home instances so if you have a back up account elsewhere to deal with downtime or an account for other things 👀 it’s fantastic.

I mostly just used Twitter to keep updated on various indie games/artists/authors/content creators. I’d imagine they would go to Threads or Tiktok’s new thing before giving Mastadon a shot, and some of them have.

I don’t want to be a downer; Mastadon would be my favorite Twitter alternative with how it functions, but in its present state Mastadon just doesn’t work for my use case. I think for now I just have to phase Twitter-likes out of my life unless I’m willing to bite the bullet on putting up with meta or 𝕏.

I read this and it does not say he shot down rumors of a justice league live action film despite that being stated in the title. This is all it has to say regarding Justice League:

DC announced over the weekend a Justice League animated film that would be released in 2024 and it’s based on Crisis on Infinite Earths. Many deduced that this could be the basis of a possible live-action film by Gunn. However, Gunn shot down the rumor by replying to a fan with a simple “No,” on Threads.

It simply states there is no Justice League film based on Crisis on Infinite Earths coming. This article mentions 3 heroes—Guy Gardner, Hawkgirl and Mister Terrific—but fails to mention they also added Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho to the cast as well. Feels like the author kind of half-assed this. Honestly though, whether the movie is labeled as such or not, once you reach a certain number of DC heroes teaming up it becomes a Justice League film by default.
