The Steam Community is a cesspool, and a good part of that is owed to the lack of any centralized moderation. Game communities are moderated by publishers, developers, or their chosen volunteers or employees. If a game is forgotten, its community becomes totally unmoderated, and there’s nothing like Reddit’s auto-bans to prune these abandoned communities.

Also… pretty sure they just let community moderators do anything they want as long as it’s not outright illegal.

Considering that some searches right now tend to be thirty different “news” sites republishing the same article… I dunno how to feel about this.

And the entitled bs still doesn’t stop, even when called out. From recent comments on the issue:

He wants people to give him money just because he wants it.
I hope God guides his way into salvation.

Crackhead bs right there.

Been saying it for days, so I’ll say it again.

Survive now, protest later. Killing yourself and everyone else is not an effective message.

The part with the Tom & Jerry clip, it says something like “Windows haters finding a reason to blame Microsoft,” and shows them searching the house and finding nothing.

The amount of changes I’ve made and things I’ve installed. If I move to another distro, it’s gonna be at least a week before I have everything back up to where I want it.

Wow. I hate that. It’s positively terrible but it explains so much. And worst of all, I am in far too deep to switch distros at this point.

My favorite part was where a single segment in the middle was totally fucking opposite from the rest of the video.

I prefer Linux, but dawg, this is a crackhead meme.

Okay. Firefox Focus is a totally different thing.

Workstation has been free for personal use for a while now. Of course, that “free” was locked behind some weird process that was paradoxically focused on business use. I don’t expect much more from this change.

I’m on mobile, Firefox Focus. It has a basic adblocker, but doesn’t do anything about shitty design.

I went to my local theater expecting this and ended up missing the first ten minutes of Venom 3. I guess the moral of the story is… Shop local?

Oh my God fuck this site. Ya get to the bottom of the article and a pop-up appears and when you close the damn pop-up you’re automatically taken back to the top of the article WHY

He’s the type to down fistfuls of Viagra. Hey, maybe we’ll get lucky and he’ll overdose and his cock will explode.

Buddy, if you knew the stakes and still chose not to vote because of some moral quandary or, and this is my favorite excuse that I’ve heard so many times here on Lemmy, because the Dems need to “learn a lesson,” you hold just as much blame as anyone. Waiting out Trump’s ancient ass in a world that isn’t on fire before trying to force change was just too good for you, and now we’re all gonna fucking burn for your idealism and need for immediate gratification.

In both instances, they relegated Sanders to the background. Don’t get me wrong, his ideals are more extreme for sure. Better without a doubt, but extreme enough to potentially split the vote with uninformed voters. The other candidate was generally a safer choice, and so they were the candidate everyone heard about, while Sanders was largely kept out of the public eye.

That said, a leftist with a braincell would understand that even the worst Dem is better than Trump, and that the destruction Trump could cause far outweighs the need for the Dems to learn a lesson. Keep things at least fucking livable until Trump’s ancient, clogged up heart gives in, and then make a fucking point, don’t burn the whole world down.

Simple, because those are the people it should matter to. Those are the people with the most to lose. Those are the people who are more likely to have LGBTQ+ friends and family. The moderates don’t give a shit and should never have been catered to in the first place, but these people tossed aside the people and things they claim to love in order to make a stand. That’s why I expect more from them, because they’re in a position to be more hurt by it.

I would urge you to remember that this post itself is a meme. Of course “a few leftists making memes” isn’t the root cause, it’s just one that I personally witnessed swaying people and that particularly pisses me off.

And yes, the Dems could’ve and should’ve done better, but I would like to be able to believe that people are smart enough to not commit suicide by apathy, and I feel justified in being pissed off at those who dragged the whole country down by failing to show a little self-preservation instinct.

I find it amazing that no one seems to have any sense of… well, really, fucking anything anymore. Self-preservation, empathy, pragmatism, whatever. It amazes me that people can sit by and let the place burn around them, and then turn around and say, “Hey, maybe you should’ve made me want to save myself and my neighbors.”

My favorite part is the part where you just ignore everything I say and then pretend you have some kind of high ground. Asked, answered and proven irrelevant already. I don’t negotiate with clowns.
