"Always"?

Well...

DupaCycki said it better than I could, some hours ago:

Absolutely insane how little it takes for people to worship a mega corporation that was caught abusing employees and publicly lying for years just the other day.

Yeah, there is a pretty big number of new bot accounts all the time. They are most often used to post propaganda and reactionary bait, to tire people out.

That's a small part of the reason reddit went to shit, it's now more bots than people.

That's why you'll see many people here telling you to "act like a person". Most people here don't want Lemmy to be a place for us to just consume content. It's not about the memes. Whoever wants an unending stream of memes to pass their time, can just go to insta, and scroll to their hearts' content.

The memes and the posting, are sorta meant to be part of a discussion, like posting your opinion on things, via memes. What you say, is important. Like how the comments in this post here are saying, politically, that "normal" is actually "angry", due to where we are in the world right now.

Edit:

Just to make it clear in case I was being negative, you posting, posting anything, whether it's things people agree with, things that are just fun, or even things people might disagree with, is great!

Your mindset of bringing content in so the communities are alive, is very good! Just try to leave some time, for people to discuss the post in the comments. Talk about it with each other, make up their minds.

Think about it as if every post you make, is a room. You have to let people walk in, look around, talk to each other, and leave.

If you make an art gallery with 50 new rooms a day, people won't want to come see your gallery as much, because there's too much stuff, and not enough time to understand it.

For the record,

• the burst-posting (3 images at a time),

• generic memes,

• account in one of the biggest instances,

• posting exclusively in the one main meme community,

• the post of a single political-pretending-not-to-be political meme (this one), and

• the exactly 2 comments made ever,

are all also very suspect, many bots act in this exact way, and then abandon the account for a couple months to let it age. It seems fishy to me too.

But it is very possible that it is just someone overenthusiastic, and new to the fediverse, so let's not take up arms, better to let a few bots slip than make real people bounce away I think.

Let's see at least if they respond, or abandon the account, to judge.

Yeah, me not knowing about other threads and seeing the comment, followed by the front page post meme was a funny experience. Such a deeply human-drama situation, Lemmy really is awesome haha

If you're curious, I wrote a few of my thoughts on a comment here, kinda sorta answering why I made that call-out.

It's hard to explain, but it's one of the many things that are maddening to me, with AAA titles.

I've played absurdly good indie games. Absurdly good indie games aren't even rare, they come out all the time, faster than someone can play even just all the ones they like.

Meanwhile, Big Games' success happens simply because they are the only ones with access to the spotlight, and our culture absorbs them as deserving of enormous praise, masterpieces, and the like.

If you really, really, REALLY boil my point down to its core, I guess what I meant to say is

Capitalism bad.

And when I saw the word Remaster, after Bethesda's and Activision's last few years of "business", and the Cyberpunk fiasco, I was on a hair trigger.

Apart from that though, it wasn't nearly as "Game I didn't like" as it looks.

Hating a game is not disliking it. I really liked Witcher, and loved what it could have been. My experience playing it, was "being let down", by all the Shit that could have been, but wasn't.

If you want to see someone going on a deeper such spiral than me, check out SkittyBitty's Tears of the Kingdom review, on YouTube.

Wow, a post about me personally, without mentioning me, or the event that spawned it? I feel honored!

For anyone not knowing what this post is, just check our interaction with scrubbles here:

Wait, what's the difference between FLOSS and FOSS?

Something a bit more than 7.5cm, less secure.

I hope when I die my corpse is cut up, fried in my own body fat, and fed to pigs.

Wow, this is legitimately fucking metal. Yeah, I do hope that, damn, that's cool AF
