Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

I'm not the one curating lists to let everyone know some "woke" company worked on it. I just call bigotry when I see it.

We just don't care to be part of your silly crusades

Yet you've been consistently replying with nothing but weak attempts at evasion.

[–] turkishdelight@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's evasion because we don't have to justify our personal choices to you. You don't get to decide how we spend our money.

People can absolutely buy or not buy whatever they want. And when bigots do things because of bigotry I can point out that bigotry when people ask why they are doing those things.

You have become such a slave to your corporate overlords, that saying "no, I don't want this" offends you.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And why don't you want it?

There's all sorts of things I won't buy and companies I won't purchase from. When asked why I'm perfectly happy to give my reasons instead of just saying "I don't have to and you can't make me!" Repeatedly.

The part of you don't understand is that people don't have to justify their choices to you.

[–] CileTheSane@lemmy.ca 1 points 1 year ago

You have been spending a lot of time "not justifying your choices" to other people, when no one has claimed that you have to. So what are you trying to achieve here if not "justify your choices?"
