I mean I don't mind the current state of Lemmy right now, in fact I'm actually quite liking how it is right now. It'll probably take a lot of time to even get on the same level as Reddit if it ever does, however I'm seeing so much users, moderators, and devs who are committed to making this platform work and that in and of itself is amazing to see. Things like this actually show there is a human side to technology and that we can make it work. Anyways that's my food for thought.
Who could've known that Reddit all along was a faceless corporation that makes horrible decisions!
Hey, I have to delete your post as it does not fit in this community due to the fact that it is not a question and therefore irrelevant to !asklemmy@lemmy.world. There should be other communities that would welcome general posts like this!
This is why I'm a big supporter of physical media if possible. Sure the actual game may not be on there or something because it's too big or whatnot, however with what the hell is going on with digital companies in the modern videogaming world, yeah no they simply just can not be trusted much with the amount of power they hold. This includes but not limited to: Ubisoft, Steam, EA, Epic Games, etc.
EDIT: Yeah GOG is fine apologies for that, however the well majority of games in the digital world are simply just licenses that these companies have control of.

I personally moved to Bitwarden from 1Password due to the cost, and I believe for an average user, Bitwarden is definitely the way to go as it is very value-friendly (at $10 USD/year), and it is open-sourced unlike many other proprietary password managers. 1Password may get more features, however it being $3.99 USD/month, many users don't need the extra security features and I strongly believe that common sense is the best security for any user.
Oh god... trusting internet users for a democracy, and don't get me started on the trustworthiness of the Reddit staff themselves.

hyperyog @lemmy.world I’m using the same Reddit avatar because I still think it looks cool. Shame on Reddit for their poor leadership though.
