  • I dont get why people visit it anymore. The censorship, gatekeeping and botposting is just absolutely bonkers.

    Like okay, maybe if you only watch memes and cat pictures I can kinda understand. But every single sub I’ve been in had an idiotic amount of gatekeeping. Just mentioning grapheneos in some subs could get you banned. Just mentioning luigi mangione could get you banned. Oh your post is falsely flagged as inappropriate? Banned, and good luck trying to appeal.

    It’s become an absolute dystopian shithole. Lemmy isn’t perfect but at least if the host of your instance goes insane you can leave for another. And if you don’t like what you see you can choose to block it.







  • As far as remasters go I think it’s pretty good.

    Don’t expect a 2025 game in terms of mechanics and level design. For it’s time Oblivion was a very good game. This is a polished version of the original with updated graphics and somewhat modernised combat and movement. They ironed out a lot of clunky mechanics and bugs too.

    As far as remasters go the GTA ones were absolute dogwater just like warcraft 3 remastered. This one is very good and imo comparable with the command and conquer remasters.

    I dont think they could have done much more without making the game completely different.






  • Well… they went the enshittification route and they keep on censoring more and more. One of their latest stunts is that they’re going to implent an age check by making a video of you.

    Yeah sorry but that is very privacy invasive. I’m all for trying to catch predators and shit but I’m not giving away my privacy for it.

    As an added bonus they’re more and more ads so they can link all that juicy data you send them to a profile.


  • The problem with Matrix to me is that it is simply too unstable. I can open it up on any device and half the messages won’t load or are corrupted. Media won’t show at all. In contrast Lemmy has been super reliable and “just works”, so going from reddit to lemmy was no problem at all. And the communities are great too.

    I just want working voice chat and group chats.

    The entire streaming i don’t really care about. There are other apps for that.

    But yeah as it is I’m probably better off using discord until the enshittification is so bad no one wants to use it anymore.


  • I’ve already settled on making lemmy my new home a long while ago. I like it here and there is more than enough engagement.

    What i can’t really find an alternative for is discord… it’s going through the “enshittification fascism techbro” phase.

    I tried matrix but honestly it sucks, Its so incredibly buggy it’s barely even usable. I’m still willing to give it a try since it seems very promising but the instability is a big downside.
