MODERATORS
You can frame this as I don't like non cosmetic microtransactions if you like. But you have to agree that isn't what 99% of the online discourse is doing. Almost everyone is making statements that are not true because they want to feel outraged and want others to feel outraged, and because they have been lied to by another person's outrage.
It's a hurricane of lies, and it's honestly been worse on lemmy than on reddit.
If someone is telling lies they should be called out for it, but in matter-of-fact way to avoid pointless drama, while providing sources for the truth.
I haven't seen any of that, myself.
I have seen lots of "it's not that bad get over it" kind of posts but none with any convincing reason why we should accept dark patterns like this in games.
