In my opinion, it’s okay. It’s pixel art that does its job of depicting things the player can recognize. It just looks bad. The colours in particular are… not pleasant.

I’m no expert but I think there are (or should be) exemptions in the case of crime

A better comment would have been like “this reminds me of Technology Connections’ Alec Watson, he talks a lot about how much he hates blue LEDs. Here’s a video [link]”

It makes the same reference, but provides more context, more content, and a new point of discussion.

This kind of low effort comment should have stayed on Reddit.

I didn’t find it very hard to change how I downvoted comments. Of course what counts as contributing to a conversation is subjective, but I don’t think that should stop people from using it to decide whether to upvote or downvote. I downvote low effort comments, inflammatory comments, rude comments, and comments that spiral into tangents about unrelated topics. I upvote comments using my own judgement to encourage healthy discussions where people contribute differing ideas. I may not agree with every comment I upvote.

Die? What is it with assuming that small instances will inevitably die? There are people out there who want small instances, they will keep them alive.

This is a good idea! Go nuts for a while, see how you feel.

The safest and most effective way to prevent Meta from destroying ActivityPub is to never give them so much as an inch. They WILL embrace, extend, extinguish if given the chance. Defederate from ALL Meta-owned instances. Be vocal about it. Tell other instances to do the same.

My heart aches for all the citizens living in Russia who have to live in fear because they’re ruled by a tyrant dictator. If this news is true, things will only get worse for them. I hope the people can escape, or better: live in a better Russia with leaders who treat them like human beings.

It’s wishful thinking, I know. Please stay strong, my Russian friends! Justice will be served one day!

It’s a knee-jerk disgust reaction towards any group different from the norm. Furries are also overwhelming queer, so homophobia ties a lot into it.

You made me rickroll myself. Never Gonna Give You Up is so iconic online, how could it not be the first thing that comes to mind?

Second one that came to mind was Somebody That I Used To Know.

Frankly, I don’t watch music videos, so internet memes are the majority of my exposure to them.

I’m doing my part. It’s a hard habit to break, but it’ll be worth it. If this interpretation of the system catches on, then there should be less echo chambers as a result, because different perspectives will be accepted and not shunned.

Exactly this. I see a lot of people suggesting the fediverse be more centralized because they’re so used to centralized platforms.

Doesn’t bother me any, so it’s all okay in my books :)

I own a gaming laptop and I agree. For that price, a desktop is objectively far better for gaming in terms of comfort, customizability, and power. If I had a choice, I’d have a laptop for work/school, and a custom pc for gaming at home.

That said, I still like my gaming laptop. It’s a pretty good fit for my current needs.

A more robust tagging system makes blocking what you don’t want to see easier and less disruptive to your experience.

You’re right; I deserve the downvote.

Echoing what this person said! ^

I used DDG for a few years, but now I can’t stand it anymore. The search results are so bad. I could scroll to the end of the results and not find a single website I’d trust enough to cite as a reliable source. It’s all irrelevant SEO trash.

Also, search syntax doesn’t work! I could do the ol’ site:reddit trick, but - would never exclude results with a term, “” would never guarantee results with a term, and + sure as hell didn’t work either.

I reluctantly switched to Brave. The search results are better, but I don’t trust it very much since it started redirecting image searches to Bing or Google. I will likely move to Kagi.

Hnngghh, no bot-generated SEO trash is a good reason for me to spend my money…
