    A child won't learn anything from the vast majority of Hollywood films. It's storytelling not in the educational sense, but the entertainment sense.

    Only Reddit neoliberal crybabies whine about "tankies". From what I can see it's mostly baseless accusations/smear campaign because as I said, they are crybabies who cannot deal with the real world. It's an open source project. His views are not relevant to the discussion and not particularly that uncommon outside of isolated Westerner bubbles. Spez the Reddit CEO was the moderator of a paedophile subreddit (jailbait) but nobody is up in arms about that or concerned about going back if the API changes are rolled back. Those people are as lost as old people who love FoxNews, Facebook or any other commercially charged propaganda vehicle.

    These leftists you hate so much have done something good. They've seized the means of communication for you. It's open source and decentralised, it's up to you (the community) what to do with it. If you are hardstuck on this then I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but the dev ain't one.

    Yu-Gi-Oh! CascadeDismayed 1 year ago 100%
    [Humour] Stumbled across this gem of a video after coming back to Yu-Gi-Oh since 2004. www.youtube.com

    Got the shock of my life after finishing the 1st campaign of 'Yu-Gi-Oh legacy of the Duelist'. So I went off to go and fight the NPC Challenge mode. Out of my depth, so I got beaten a few times but I did beat about 5 of the NPC after about 3 attempts each. I'm not using any known build. I'm using a random deck of my own making trying to actually enjoy the damn game without chasing the meta. So I've been trying to fight Iszisu Isztar and I am completely hardstuck. She uses a spellbook deck and it just seems impossible. I am toast every time. I got her to 200 life points at one point, but even when I had her against the wall with zero, she just activated walls of text in the graveyard that summed powerful monsters and destroyed all of mine for reasons I don't even understand. I couldn't even comprehend it how the NPC and rules allow them to completely summon 5 mega monsters in one turn. I feel completely lost like I don't know anything about this game anymore even though I am a veteran of thousands of matches. Very demoralising. This video summarised my experience very well. As somebody who loves Yu-Gi-Oh, I weep for this game.

    My man, that's exactly why you should do it. To inflict as much pain as possible on Reddit, especially if it disrupts them and others from problem solving. I too have used Reddit a great deal to solve issues. I recognise what you're saying, but somethings gotta give my friend. Reddit is a evil coporation that's feeding it's users to the wolves. Completely sabotaging their website and transfering here is in my opinion, the way forward. It's 10 steps backwards, in orders to make 100 steps forward.

    Listen, I explained Lemmy to my 66 year old boomer Dad and even he understood. You join one of the Lemmy instances and choose it as your home the same way you choose gmail as your email provider. Then you sub whatever community anywhere. It's not a big deal.

    The way I see it, just like with many many many other open sourced projects such as Launchbox, or KeePass, or ShareX, or Libre Office, nothing starts out perfect. But you need to recognise there are hard working people trying to make this dream a reality. It's being worked on. What you are looking at is essentially a website in it's infancy still, and it's being built by the sheer will of the community. If people have patience, and understanding, things can work out just fine.

    Yes it's not perfect, the best thing we can do is work together and make it the way we want it, and we can, nothing can stop us. It's open source, anyone can contibute. Donate. Post. Help the devs fix the bugs.

    They killed Aaron Swartz and close sourced Reddit. That was really the end. People such as the Lemmy founder, knew it which is why they built this, to free us from those power structures. Spez and people like him deserve to burn in their own special hell.

    The great migration is here and we have to work as hard as possible now to preserve this work and freedom from such people. Spez and Reddit, is finished, if we will it so.

    The privacy movement can't sell out to private entities or all bets are off again, I think no advertisements is wholly nessasary. I think taking out Reddit is much more achievable than many people think. Yes it will take some money and resources.

    Yes I'm aware of the history. The only way to kill cancer is excise it. Lemmy realistically can't take a full migration from Reddit but that needs to change. I too am super grateful. Part of me wonders if this platform could end the same way but given it's decentralised nature, I highly doubt it. Reddit was open source once. I really want this to succeed. Seize the means of communication.
