Meh [comrade/them]
This is the biggest reason I play Warhammer. I just like moving my little dolls around on a table.
It’s been a disorienting couple of weeks for me as a casual user. I seem to miss a lot of what is going on, but the results of federation seem to have largely resulted in a lot of fighting with other instances before one side gives up and cuts ties. I know the intent is to bring in users who are either already on board or are otherwise open to our politics, but is the way forward to just test against any other version of Lemmy until we have burned through all of them?
I don’t know that I’m making much sense, but it just seems like a lot of turbulence and all of our collective focus has been towards that and I suppose my concern is what the overall effect on the site’s culture will be. Dunking on libs is fun, but if that’s all it becomes with the collateral of our trans comrades, for example, getting caught in the crossfire, I don’t know if all of this is worth it. Hexbear has been a touchstone to make sure I’m not completely insane in the midst of the most brainwormed shit in the Internet and I would hate for that to get lost somewhere along the way.
This is an opinion totally based in ignorance. You should educate yourself.
It’s the same thing with the internet. ‘Be careful of what you post online’, ‘Don’t believe everything you read’ were told to me repeatedly by my father and I took it seriously. Now I know that it was only because of a vague distrust of the internet that eased with time, rather than an actual understanding and respect for infosec, as now he puts his whole life on Facebook and guzzles from the insane right wing propaganda hoze he and all his boomer buddies hooked themselves up to.
