I comment on Lemmy.World all the time via a VPN though. Maybe they don’t allow it for accounts on their instance?

The problem is that even your solution of letting them talk in the open and refuting their talking points is paradoxical. If they’re always corrected then that alone will drive them away from platforms for fester in private channels

I don’t know what you mean by all bad. How’re you labeling all three of those countries?

Do you have your head under a rock? Over the past few years China has been putting the Uighur people in concentration camps while Russia has been invading and genociding Ukrainians.

You’re forgetting that Hexbear and lemmy.ml tend to support Russia and the CCP, both authoritarian dictatorships with Russia being openly Fascist. This is because of the general “America bad” viewpoint on these instances.

While the US has its… problems, that doesn’t mean their geopolitical rivals are then magically all-benevolent. Multiple sides in conflict can be shitty, and ignoring the genocides that Russia and China have been committing over the past few years is unacceptable.

Found the Ubisoft fanboy.

Can’t wait for them to crash and burn after AC: Shadows flops

Somebody cross-post this to c/imaginary_witches STAT!

The only problem is if you don’t change the track

If you know anything about 40K, the prompt should be self-evident

In 40k where the Imperium are outright fascists, the context is already there

Think about it this way, if you joined WWII reenactment, you’ll mostly come across guys that have a general interest in WWII and will play the role of most factions (including Germany if needed). But you will also run into guys who are enthusiastically on the German side 90% and less happy playing anything else. That second guy is most likely a Nazi but tries to maintain plausible deniability

I’ll be honest, a Horizon MMO sounds like an awful idea in the first place

Are you saying the shutdown is short-sighted, or the idea of a Horizon MMO is?

Please don’t rewrite history: Always online -> Microsoft started that trend with GFWL et al

You apparently don’t understand what “push and normalize” means.

They never claimed that Ubisoft started these, they only claimed that Ubisoft was a major factor in these practices being popularized

Obligatory: Stonetoss is a nazi

Tbf, Hexbear, Lemmygrad, and Lemmy.ml all promote hate via being tankies. And the latter two tangentially support fascism because they support Russia in the current war, because 'Murikkka bad and therefore anyone that hates them must then be good

I’m in a similar boat. I pluck my nose hairs without much issue

Have you considered cutting your losses ans stop using Reddit and also (more importantly) stop being such a dick?

Maybe look into pixelfed? It’s more similar to Instagram though

Honestly, he’s just an awful person. Some of the Reddit threads on the conflict shared screenshots on him going on misogynistic, homophobic, and racist rants. Someone on Reddit also shared a series of screencaps of his posts: https://imgur.com/a/w93SdfS

On top of that, he’s also going on bullshit rants about CS: http://enbdev.com/whyenbisgood.htm

Mainly, he’s a toxic troll that’s mad that the Skyrim modding community is moving away from a project that he keeps partially locked behind Patreon

Eat shit, Boris
