Isn’t another issue that it requires Javascript for the content to be visible?

Yeah, I got banned from loads of random subreddits for posting in /r/LockdownSkepticism just supporting the policy of where I live (in Sweden). It was bizarre.

Likewise if you dared oppose the US-specific policy of forcing toddlers to wear face-masks. Wasn’t a thing anywhere in Europe, but you’d get banned for misinformation on Reddit.

Yeah that’s my point - Lemmy requires JavaScript whereas Reddit will still show the comments without it (at least on old Reddit IIRC).

Ocarina Of Time - nothing else comes close really.

I also liked The Witcher 3.

Seems the Lemmy servers are getting hammered right now with the thousands of new users.

It was nice to finally have free time with a lot of sun this weekend. Spent all Saturday drinking Pimm’s on the roof terrace with a friend of a friend. Then most of Sunday playing Zelda TOTK.

Terraria - I just don’t understand what you’re meant to do or why it’s interesting.

I actually really like TOTK though, it’s a big improvement over BOTW with a slightly more alive world and the vehicle creation stuff is fun.

The Witcher 3 (mainly the DLCs), the story was so good, like it’s the only game I can remember where I was waiting to play it every weekend just for the story.

Ocarina of Time - the music is so amazing, I can still remember all of it.

Runescape Classic (like 2002) for making me impervious to scams - you get scammed by some players once and that sticks with you.

The censorship is a pain though, like your comment was auto-censored for “karma x”.

I think they should just ban spammers and scammers and let the votes decide the rest.

This does much more harm than good IMO - splintering the community at such a sensitive time of growth is a bad idea.

Hopefully there’ll be the ability to block images in comments and posts, and better tools for blocking / detecting spammers, and cross-instance bans, auto-moderating hyperlinks, etc. soon.

But the demand for unilateral access to other communities’ content is disturbing. The Lemmy federation works because of reciprocity.

Definitely won’t be recommending beehaw for new users now.

They can - but the issue is if the other instances don’t help ban them too then it can become a lot of work literally whackamole.

Like I understand it, but I still think this is an over-reaction. Lemmy.world has been good in banning spammers I’ve reported there in my experience.

We really need more tools for the UI experience (starting with fixing the refreshing home page and post switching bugs!) - like to allow communities and instances to completely block image posts and comments, to auto-moderate URLs, detect users posting repeat content, etc. but de-federating like this is not the answer IMO.
