Great job, thank you!
Just one thing - it would be great if these rules would not work on strictly moderated instances themselves because there is no point of such highlighting there. We can configure it in userscript setting in UI. But it’s better to have such logic right in the scripts itself. So far I have just added this additional condition to the block at the end:
if (isLemmy && !isStrictlyModerated(window.location.hostname)) {

In my opinion, cyberpunk is a projection of social/economic/tech/etc trends of 70s and 80s into the future (with accent on dystopian scenarios), while post-cyberpunk is the same but for 2000s and later. Neither of those is now, obviously. But I think we’re much closer to post-cyberpunk now - less freedom, more order, less horrors, more mundane
Holy crap. The only thing I wanted from this update is better optimization, and they instead are warning that things will get worse
For some reason I had terrible FPS drops in the original Cyberpunk from time to time - had to reload the game every half an hour or hour to restore FPS. If that would be fixed - I’m in. Liked the game otherwise, so all I need is some new quests, which PL should provide
Stick man with black lines and white filling on a nondescript background. Building is grey. I am tired
If those leaders are not newcomers, which is true for Putin, Erdogan, Orban, Xi and so on, there is also another reason. People understand that these guys would not just leave if people would try to vote them out. They will use election frauds, threats and then open violence. So these attempts to overthrow them either fails at the beginning or would lead to violent turmoil which is highly likely to end up with bad guys winning and tightening the grip even further. A lot of people just want to save those bits of freedom and comfort that they currently have instead of risking it all for the sake of possible (but not exactly likely or guaranteed) better future. If you live long enough in such societies, this starts to work even on subconscious level.
Just look at Hong Kong - people were living in a relatively free society and they revolted against creeping injustice, revolt was violently crushed and society destroyed. Now people would be much more hesitant to even vote for alternative candidates (even if there would be any) because they know or suspect where it may lead
I honestly don’t think there’s much of a difference between these groups. Both have lots of people hating the guts of another group. And both are substantially radical in views. This all is just crazy
Well, I guess we should consider it as one of the trials of freedom. Either you live in a walled garden, or you have to be conscious about what you’re interacting with and exercise critical thinking. If you don’t want to be associated with genocide supporters - don’t register on tankie instances, or even don’t subscribe to any content from them. It should be a personal decision of every user (or instance maintainer for that matter - defederation is also an option, simply because instance maintainers are also people).
Another important thing is to speak up about it - to raise awareness, so to speak. It’s perfectly reasonable to state what the worldview of tankie admins is - in threads like this, as well as on other platforms. I was considering lemmy.ml as Reddit replacement at first, but saw a comment on one of the Fediverse sites and digged more into this.
Wtf? If you’re short - people don’t like it, if you’re tall - people don’t like it too, if you’re of normal height - noone cares. So what’s the point really in worrying so much about it?
