This city doesn’t know what’s coming
She doesn’t feel the heat
This city won’t know what hit her
What knocked her out into the streets
This city’s thinking that it’s over
And she’s already fast asleep

  • This is how the world works. On Reddit there were multiple subs that covered the same topics, but the mods developed different cultures and vibes through moderation tactics and sub policies.

    If you want a car, there are different companies who all provide one but with different options. Same goes for ISPs, TV networks, restaurants, and schools.

    It isn’t at all a new concept and I’m not sure why people coming from reddit continue to get stuck on it. Subscribe to them all and as they mature unsub from the ones that develop into something you don’t feel like you need.

    Posting to all of them will be easier when cross posting is possible on Kbin (it is already possible on Lemmy) but developments like that often take time.


    Adding an edit as I’ve thought a bit more: I think it’s important, for those coming from reddit, to truly understand why the Fediverse exists. The intention is to be open source. To ensure that there is no single source of power. There are ‘unlimited’ options (instances, magazines, etc.) to ensure that it cannot be swayed, corrupted.

    This is why people are coming from Reddit - you are seeing what happens when one corporation has the power and sets the terms.

    I think it’s lovely to dip your toes here, ask questions, and see if you’d like to stick around. But please do understand the intention is not to be Reddit 2.0. We should not try to turn it into that.


  • I will share my experience… I played the game the week it launched on PC. Played a few hours, forgot about it.

    Came back to it this week, started fresh. It really is phenomenal. The story is incredible. So much so, that I find myself doing ANYTHING to keep the game going without progressing. The little side quests I do are so engrossing, I forget they’re not part of the main story line. I played for hours and was blown away before the words “cyberpunk 2077” scrolled across the screen and I realized I had only completed the intro.

    It really is a wonderful world that feels alive. I feel like the builds are fun and actually feel rewarded for trying new things. (I was a hardcore wow player where min maxing was so essential. It’s so refreshing to play a single player game where I can actually fuck around and try to new/different things).

    So yeah. The game didn’t grab me the first time. Second time around and it’s easily in my top 10.

    Plus Panam.










  • Why does one single corporation get sole ownership of your knowledge?

    It’s not difficult to download what you have contributed to Reddit and to post elsewhere.

    Your knowledge belongs to you, you have the right to take it with you when you leave.

    Of course you have the right to be lazy and not do that. Or to say, “I am fine with leaving it for Reddit to sell”.

    But please don’t attempt to belittle or minimize the efforts of those who are trying to make a stand.

    You are acting like they are doing something wrong (“making the world smaller”) when they are simply deciding that their knowledge will not be monetized by a corporation.
