Yeah moving items across games would be impossible at the moment. But I feel that with nft’s, you at least get to own the item. That, and people get to make their own. It’s not easy to add your own skin to Fortnite, for example.

I don’t want to sound like I’m for NFT’s, but I think if done right, it has a usecase.

True, I’ve been using DeviantArt and Patreon myself. But when it comes to gaming, there is something in people and wanting to collect. I think that where NFTs might make a difference is in gaming (assuming games won’t be the profit-focussed, web3 “X to earn” kind of game and actually focus on storytelling, gameplay and land well with the masses).

For example, Fortnite uses all kinds of psychological tactics to get people to buy more stuff, folding ideas explains it well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPHPNgIihR0

I don’t play the game myself, but I feel that this is where NFT might make a better alternative. You keep that ability to make things collectable without all the nasty bussines tactics (IF implemented that way, ofcourse).

Can you imagine, how much money went into all this and where it all ended up? It couldn’t have gone up in flames, it had to end with some people. I don’t think NFT’s as-is have a future, but I think that NFT’s will eventually end up in the hands of the masses in a format that isn’t focussed on profit but more as a means to share, create and own art for digital games etc.

It was an idea indeed. Like a daily post per user, or even go as far as to synchronize it across users (so each user has a moment to post a new post). This is interesting, and I’m thinking about how to do it!

Ah shit there goes the joke >~< 😅

I want to be a good citizen here so if there’s anything else I can help with let me know

Thanks! I also felt it was the most ethical thing to do. This way you can refer to any comments made to your post, but we don’t copy comments over ourselves (which potentially can violate users privacy if they don’t want their comments to leave Reddit)

I updated the README to add a similar warning, thanks! https://github.com/peterwilli/lemmemovetolemmy/commit/91b3ecb9f1f8e270e76057c85b8a7f75402375d4

It will keep the current date due to users not being able to override a timestamp, but the top part of a post shows the original date and link to the original post: https://lemmy.emerald.show/post/764

I totally agree, I just wanted to keep my posts because they mean a lot to me, I used it on my own community which at the time was empty as I just moved to lemmy.

I was a bit excited after making this, and will update the Readme with a word of warning!
