Yet another good thing about older times and how marketing used to work.

This is a thought I had for Hulk being in ragnarok. That would have been an amazing surprise in the move theater.

My apologizes. It was not my intention at all. It’s been all over the internet, so I falsely assumed everyone knew by this point.

I think I had read somewhere that they would eventually have ads, but that may have just been member speculation.

Maybe if they go down the Apollo route they could have some sub tiers, but we’ll see.

I don’t think many of the niche communities really had time to thrive, since people were trying to build up a lot of the main ones. I think some were starting to just get traction, which could be a reason why they chose now, stopping before it really got away from them.

Better to close the doors and redo it before ending up like reddit. In reddit’s case they welcome it.

There were entire communities popping up dedicated to SEO and advertising. A lot of the spam would happen during the US night time, so they’d have to wake up every morning to sweeping away all the crap. Really curious on how they intend to handle the bots.

Some things will definitely work better over there.

This is really good to know. Are you aware if this has ever been addressed by them or anyone else ever?

It’s interesting hearing “There’s nothing on Digg it’s dead, fediverse is more active” because when I joined Lemmy people were using the same comparison of reddit vs the fediverse. Things take time to build and they are still in beta. Lemmy is way more active and settled than when I first joined (hell I originally joined kbin instead). It’s good to have competition. I am active on both and I believe they will have different demographics.

It is the only reason I get a nintendo console. It’s why I skipped over the Wii U. It’s the only system that I haven’t owned.

Thank you! I figured it deserved more than just a gif post!

Never heard of this one, looks like a potential one.

I did read about how short it is, which has put me off getting it.

As much as I dislike ai, this is why I enjoyed the short lived “Artifact” news website (Yahoo bought them out). Their feed had a feature where you could report a click bait title and it would use ai to turn it into a normal sentence. If enough people clicked it, that would become how it was seen by people. I really dislike people using the click bait title on the fediverse, but it’s a symptom of the internet today as a whole.

Kevin Rose also left Digg at some point, not sure how much of that demise is on him. He had to buy it back for this second run.

My only reasoning for this is they may be worried about kids accidentally grabbing switch 1 joy cons and trying to use shove them in with the new switch. ( I know my niece just keeps all her stuff thrown in a box) Also to maybe avoid parents buying the wrong things for their kids.

They likely want to give an easy clear visual distinction between a switch joycon and a switch 2 joycon, until more people move over to the switch 2.

I know there tends to be a disagreement about this on Lemmy, but this is also what I have observed.

For example, If someone has a computer problem and its windows, there’s a good chance the top comment will be “Stop, use linux”. Almost any conversation can turn into “you’re supporting capitalism”. It discourages people from wanting to post and engage, because of the likely hood of something turning into an argument. Not everyone has the mental bandwidth for it, and they just want a place to come and chill.

Hell I used to be active in making Cassettefuturism grow when lemmee was a thing, and we’d get people coming into that niche community to argue with us about our hobby.

The difference between Reddit and Lemmy was that niche communities would usually not hit the front page and you could be off in your own little corner. Here since things are smaller, you are more likely to run into some niche communities through discovery.

Interesting. The first half of this video is a hallway. Nothing in this teaser got me excited. The little game play we got looks like all the previous Megaman games. With so many indie people putting a spin on the originals, I really hope the next trailer has real content.

I love turn based tactics games. They do tend to suffer the same issue as most RPGs in that you try to 1hko everything at the end. I’ll wait for a few reviews before deciding if I’ll add this to my list.
