Using Lemmy seems better in a mobile browser than in the app. But maybe that's just me

They're really pulling a No Man's Sky here. I hope the game continues to see development

Depends on whether Reddit deletes NSFW content once they go public

Three platforms is not a lot overall.

We all know what happened to Digg and Tumblr. Imgur just deleted their NSFW content. Youtube has been going downhill for a while now. It feels like we're seeing the natural life-cycle of social media companies before our eyes.

Facebook dies due to privacy concerns and misinformation. Twitter under threat because Elon. Imgur just deleted their NSFW content. Reddit with its API pricing. Twitch executives also getting greedy. Youtube has been going down for years.

It feels like we're seeing the natural life-cycle of social media companies in real time.

I played Overwatch daily for about 5 years, but Blizzard had to go and fuck that up

People are also forgetting that you can record stereoscopic video from the headset. Which is cool for the wearer, but potentially creepy for people around them. That's part of the reason Google Glass failed

Yeah, the fact that it's made out of metal is a questionable decision. I can only imagine how heavy that headset is

After what Blizzard did to Overwatch, I can't bring myself to buy their games. Same with EA. But to each his own.

I don't have the answer but I share your sentiment.

One thing I hated about reddit is the mods would ban you for participating on certain subs. For instance, I got banned from r/WhitePeopleTwitter for commenting in a r/Conservative thread. (I was actually disagreeing with someone, but that's neither here nor there.)

The Fediverse feels like a worse version of that phenomenon. Entire communities are blocked off from each other by the admins of the instance. I fear that Lemmy might become a disjointed group of echo-chambers. Some might argue that reddit already is.

And let's be honest: reddit has some of the best NSFW content on the internet. Extremely specific interests all curated into their own respective subs. In many cases, this content goes back years
