Cults aren’t isolated by others. They self-isolate.
People need to know this feature exists and that it’s a good thing.
On the Fediverse, no admin decides anything a user does. If you don’t like your server, you can just walk over to another one. Most software even makes account migration between servers super easy.
Or if you don’t trust admins at all—and I don’t—you can run your own server and federate with who you please.
This is not Reddit. Admins don’t hold ultimate power of what does or does not get seen. However, you do—and you can mute, block, or defederate as you see fit.
What if I told you anyone can run their own server and consequently have the freedom to federate with who they wish?
The value of the Fediverse isn’t just freedom of speech. It’s freedom of association.
It’s only news when it actually happens. 🥱
Of course it’s discouraging because any deviation from a norm requires change, and people by their nature hate change.
But I’ve been on the Fediverse for quite a few years, and nothing moves the needle like stubbornness.
Marlow Briggs. It's kind of like God of War but way more funny.
Be the change. Start discussing those things, and others will eventually discuss it with you.
Unnoticed? Not at all. The Guinness World of Records recognizes this game as the first to "utilise basic stealth game mechanics".

I happen to disagree with them, but they certainly noticed.
The reason you've never played this game is because it didn't have a dedicated cabinet. It used the Raster Scan Convert-a-Game system. Which means many of the cabinets that were once used for this game no longer host it. And if that's not enough 005 never got a home port.
It is also highly likely Konami knew about 005 since this game was developed and made by SEGA, got great reviews upon its release, and well, Metal Gear used its mechanics.
I wrote a really extensive review of this game right here.
To me, this is a true hidden gem. I know that term gets abused quite a lot, but not a whole lot of people know about this one. Yet it's one of the most memorable 3D platformers I've played in awhile.
State capitalism is still capitalism.

The only thing I do with DeepSeek is argue communism with it. When I ask it why everyone isn’t a member of the communist party, it tells me the servers are busy.
