Isn’t that just… Bethesda improving?

Yeah 30 to 60 is a big difference. Past 60 things definitely start looking real samey though.

Yes.

I won’t lie I only preordered because I wanted the 5 day early play. My excuse though is that I literally have not preordered a game since we still needed to get them from Gamestop and I’ve been waiting for Starfield for like 5 years now.

How can we determine malicious intent?

If a bunch of people go to have a discussion and one person says “Hey we should mess with them” is the whole group considered malicious?

On the flip side if a bunch of people go and comment maliciously but it’s never explicit is it fair to just assign malicious intent to them?

So wait if I post a link on here and a bunch of people go there and comment wouldn’t that be brigading? So basically this entire platform can be considered as designed to brigade other websites?

Downvotes are used to show disagreement without an explanation which just stifles discussion, and for off-topic comments reporting them works as an alternative.

I do prefer user moderated conversations through downvotes but with the way they are used I don’t really trust us users enough for that.

That seems really broad tbh, like me and my doctor friends try to convince people they should brush their teeth twice a day would fall under that.

Define brigading.

Yeah discoverability is definitely one of the biggest weaknesses of Lemmy right now in terms of federation. If all the communities I’m interested in are split across hundreds of instances it needs to be very easy to find all of them.
