So the answers in this post are mostly that people are downvoting the bot because it is often wrong and then others defending it by saying “it’s not wrong it’s just based on American politics”.

If the bot reported from a range of sources that reflect a number of different political perspectives I’m sure it’d be more useful outside of the scope of American politics, and therefore wouldn’t get downvoted.

As far as I’m concerned the vote system is working as intended.

The internet is not American. There are no nations on lemmy ✌️

Normally I’d whole heartedly agree, but to be accused of anything even close to CSAM means he is likely one of:

• guilty, and not smart enough to hide it
• innocent, and incredibly stupid (considering his position in media)
• the victim of a very dark Wile E. Cayote frame up job

Guess we’ll all find out soon enough.

Oh ffs is anybody on TV not a paedo?!

Can’t believe nobody has mentioned Battlebit Remastered. Ridiculous value. Yeah it’s low poly but you stop seeing that after around 5 minutes.

I’m glad see high effort shitposting has taken root over here too

Jedi: Fallen Order

First whole play through on Jedi Master (hard) difficulty and didn’t collect a single extra stim so just had the two you start with

@Cevilia@Lemmy.blahaj.zone has the most correct answer I think but I want to add my opinion as a refugee.

Right now newer Fediverse users like myself are experiencing a new level of choice and autonomy that we didn’t get with the other centralised services. EEE is a practice that slowly erodes that freedom by diluting our user base and eventually forcibly absorbing it.

An analogy:

The centralised services (Reddit, Facebook, etc) are a city and we used to be citizens. However, we took exception to how the city was being run and protested. In response, we were told ‘tough luck, like it or leave’, so we left and are now outside the city walls.

We enjoyed a lot of what the city provided so we’ve started our own village and built the tools so that other people can start their own village too, all in the hopes that this collection of villages will eventually function like the city but without the small group of councillors who were in charge of everything.

Now the councillors are peering over the city walls, seeing that we’ve got some basic services set up and are starting to attract more villagers and that means the stuff we’re making is pretty cool. So they’re expanding their city wall to a point that’s right next to our village and telling their citizens to visit us to look at our cool stuff, and will say that it is actually the city providing the cool stuff because they were generous enough to allow the citizens through a gate. Eventually they’ll try to expand the wall around our village too and the citizens will like this so too few people will say anything about it.

Now we could just move again and start a new village, but should we have to? Why would we bother when we can just put up a magic invisible wall of our own that stops the city seeing our cool stuff, but still allows the citizens to move to the countryside with us and become villagers.

This thread has started sounding like a conversation between hobbits on their favourite places in the shire and I love it.

Super fun game, definitely worth the £12 or whatever I paid.

If you’re looking for the type of thing that made your favourite Battlefield great you’ll find that here.

Jokes on you, I’ve been here a while

UK checking in here - straight from the tap is perfectly safe. I still put it through a filter though because I like the taste and it makes me feel fancy.

This sort of stuff was always gonna happen early on. As things calm and the wider community settles into some norms we’ll see less of it.
