Cults aren’t isolated by others. They self-isolate.

People need to know this feature exists and that it’s a good thing.

On the Fediverse, no admin decides anything a user does. If you don’t like your server, you can just walk over to another one. Most software even makes account migration between servers super easy.

Or if you don’t trust admins at all—and I don’t—you can run your own server and federate with who you please.

This is not Reddit. Admins don’t hold ultimate power of what does or does not get seen. However, you do—and you can mute, block, or defederate as you see fit.

Well, you seem to be upset that people are able to block entire instances. That’s just a weird stance for an anarchist to have.

What if I told you anyone can run their own server and consequently have the freedom to federate with who they wish?

The value of the Fediverse isn’t just freedom of speech. It’s freedom of association.

You have freedom of speech. I also have the freedom to walk away from your speech and listen to someone else.

That’s the same talking points the alt-right uses and we don’t tolerate it.

And I’ve been on the Internet long enough to watch so-called “progressive” spaces get hijacked by the right wing under the guise of “free speech”.

When a culture grows toxic, it’s simply toxic no matter their talking points.

So the fact people have the power to block entire instances at their discretion, this is a good thing.

You are not entitled to my attention, nor am I entitled to yours.

No one is entitled to attention, and sometimes people need to take a breather for their own mental health.

Atari’s recent games have been pretty good. And it is nice that this is being developed by the same folks who made BIT.TRIP.

However, it is really hard to make something new and fresh with the old Breakout formula.

Unnoticed? Not at all. The Guinness World of Records recognizes this game as the first to “utilise basic stealth game mechanics”.

I happen to disagree with them, but they certainly noticed.

The reason you’ve never played this game is because it didn’t have a dedicated cabinet. It used the Raster Scan Convert-a-Game system. Which means many of the cabinets that were once used for this game no longer host it. And if that’s not enough 005 never got a home port.

It is also highly likely Konami knew about 005 since this game was developed and made by SEGA, got great reviews upon its release, and well, Metal Gear used its mechanics.

Guilty.

I’m not a Lemmy admin, but from what I’m seeing, there’s been an uptick of 4,000 Lemmy registrations within the last 24 hours.

There’s now 477,048 Lemmy accounts.
