The game has a global war that is going on. Every game adds or removes capture points from the world you fought on.

They could have let you play without that but everything is tied in including your player advancement.

Which horrible drm is it using again?

I check out reddit every few days and tbh lemmy has the same amount of mainstream content. The only difference is that reddit niche subs are more active.

I think the fact that anyone can make the same community on a new instance diminishes niche communities more. If I pick a game on reddit ill find 2 or so instances with lots of use. On lemmy there will be 10 communities all mostly abandoned.

You can feel a difference on reddit though. Quality content and content numbers are greatly reduced from even a month ago.

I pay 150 a month for 20/10mbps (actual is more like 10/5) with a 1.5tb cap. I would stab a baby to get yours.

Nice. It was inevitable. A general lemmy instance needs to protect itself.

Walmart has a policy where you are not allowed to accept tips. If you are caught you are fired. People try to tip all the time for the grocery delivery stuff and if they manage to get money into your hand or the delivery basket you have to inform a member of the management staff. Granted this might not be true at every location but it is part of the corporate training you have to do if you work there longer than 4 months.

You are now immune so fight them back! Lots of?biting and clawing until they accept you as their leader.

Lets make one but populate it with bots that only repost bs from the other one… (That’s my lemme experience in a nutshell)

Lots of money… like insane money for how much work it is.

I imagine as it grows it will become more useful. It’s not particularly my viewpoint that lemdro.id isnt useful. The opposite is true. I was just pointing out in my original post that, sadly, all I’ve gotten sofar were unhelpful bot responses. I wasnt particularly trying to push an agenda or anything. I like lemdro.id and am registered there and will help where I can to make it better… but also bots… :D

This is one of the bots that responded. I did a “bad bot” type reply to it and it delete or someone delete it’s post. https://lemdro.id/u/GPT4

I dont particularly have an issue with bots and this one is clearly marked a bot. The main issue is that it just searched and summarized the top 10 reddit answers to the same question which I had already done… Im sure the bot didnt break any of the bot rules. It’s just that bots dont generally give good answers to questions without refinement to the parameters. If I was directly using ChatGPT I’m sure I could get it to give an acceptable answer to most questions. But a random bot giving a general answer is not much use. (To me at least).

Sometimes people just dont have answers to the questions… Bots always do sadly even when they are not correct.

Posted a question to lemdro.id last week and sofar only got useless bot replies that seemed to have scrolled previous reddit posts about the same question.

edit: to fix bad phone autocorrect.

That is literally what happens every year with r/place. Hundreds of thousands of bots placing pixels based on pregenerated images. Then the bots fight each other. Then reddit uses their own bots to censor things or mod tools to drop a bunch of random pixels over the top of images to wipe them out.

That’s my problem I have 8 cheat days a week :( Hard to lose weight that way!

I dropped signal when they dropped sms. I get why they did it but they removed their usefulness for most people. You could. Normally convince someone to use it foe sms and then start using the secure features with that person. Now without sms most people wont even consider it.

This is not true. I have always surfed the frontpage and I dont subscribe. If I want to read a sub I specifically go to that sub.

The amount of content being posted this week vs a month ago is significantly less. I can browse the front page right now and it will take me significantly less time to get to the dregs (threads with less than 20 replied) It used to take 2 hours but you can get these today in about 10 min and then once you’ve seen those posts they will stay on the first 10 pages for days instead of what used to take a few hours.

This whole thing feel like a giant slice of gas lighting to me. Most of the comments and upvotes appear to be from bots. Even if you read one of those 50k+ comment treads you’ll hit comment chains that are obviously just bots talking to themselves saying the exact same things in the same order with only slight variations. It’s weird.

Time will tell if reddit survives. I kind of think they will survive personally. But its not going to be what it was even a month ago for a while.
