  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

When it comes to "traditionally geeky topics" I might have been looking for that stuff at most other points of my life. And if somebody gets into some dorky lore discussion on here today I might participate.

But for me, and I would wager it's the same with MANY people on Lemmy, the last decade has made me very much not interested in filling my social interactions with banter about which billion-dollar global brands are the most dank.

As an example, I am still very interested in technology that I can learn about and do things with. I am very much not interested in products from tech companies.

Or in another area, I still have a soft spot for old Star Wars and especially Lucasarts games like TIE Figther and X-Wing Alliance. I will always keep my old copies of those and probably play them every several years. But I don't even know what Star Wars content is in development right now.
