Well I did the ol Switch Game Vouchers and used one on TotK. Hoping Pikmin 4 looks promising!

I just gave Cassette Beasts a shot and was instantly hooked. Fun PokeClone that is one of the best I’ve played and gets some stuff better than even Pokemon does. Also on gamepass if you’ve got that

I think the 2 day protest was so a lot more subreddits would be willing to participate, and was ultimately used to spread awareness throughout the userbase (and get some traction in the news cycle). I don’t think anyone leading the charge was expecting spez or reddit as a whole to cave and revert everything within those 2 days, but you’d be surprised how easily users can ignore that stuff unless it’s shoved right in their face

Ultimately despite reddit still being a shithole, I think it was pretty effective. Not sure it could be called “rexxit”, but the fediverse is far more populated (and a bit more mainstream) now, as people start realizing there is a way for the community to hold some power and not constantly be at the mercy of bad management or greed

Very possible. But even the people left I am sure will go back to virtue signaling about how awful greedy companies are and how we need to take a stand against them while ironically still posting from and thereby supporting one

As dumb as it sounds it reminds me of that Black Mirror episode where the guy slowly uncovers everyone is being lied to by the government, and ultimately gets hired by that same government as a skeptic radio persona that everyone loves to listen to while they fall back in line

I think the funniest thing in all of this is how so incredibly easy it took for Reddit to swing into the support of these profit-driven and greedy decisions simply because it slightly inconvenienced them for a couple days. Like the second they’re faced with something that could disrupt their daily content feed they just completely bend over backwards

I don’t expect everyone to be perfect, I’m certainly not, but at least have the guts to admit there’s a problem. The fact that all these users perform Olympic gold-level mental gymnastics to somehow justify the blackout is not only something that won’t help at all, but the people doing it are wasting time and are idiotic is…well actually that’s pretty on point for the site

I had the same exact thoughts. Liked the concept but was kinda sketched out by lemmy.ml. Hope kbin forms a nice little community
