Pirates play on Palworld servers no problem. No problem at all.

What's the opposite of fascism?

I was wearing loose boxers... For real lol.

And AUS doesn't exist!

It might be an okay outcome. No T means split R vote and no B means Kamala becomes first female president. Maybe she runs again, maybe there's a new nominee.

I don't think much changes other than losing the spearhead of the MAGA bullshit, although someone will inevitably take that place.

I'm stoked! I genuinely thought it would be 3 years. That's what I'm expecting for Spider-Man 2

Not enough physical attributes though imo. Should be more like Young Dandruff, Young Acne (ft. Young Scab), maybe a Lil Stain or Big Mole y'know?

Edit: shout out to Young Eczema in the thread

5 minutes before he was clearly on his suicide mission I said, "I hope Ray Fishers character dies so he doesn't have to be part of this garbage for part 2"

Then he died in the most meaningless and rehashed way and I was glad for him.

this is the kind of unmoderated content we get to look forward to when Threads federates.

(Sorry for the double post, I initially posted an uncropped version. Deleted that comment and recommented).

Damn. You just made me realize some of the scope of background interest - that's the sort of thing that Skyrim, GTA V, and Cyberpunk 2077 like to claim about NPC's existing in a living breathing world on their own schedules.

You ever think about all the lives of the individuals next to you on the freeway? How all their lives are as complicated as our own? We don't have that in games right now because it's so complex and needlessly complicated for so little return.

But man, imagine a Shadow of Mordor connected NPC world. Friend groups, rivals, coworkers, bar patrons, they all have individuality that could affect other elements of the social game.

For what it's worth, on Lemmy you have upvotes and the people making these negative comments mostly do not.

I think most people agree with you, we're just not the ones that repeat it.

Anyway, good on you.

Beehaw does the same. I'm not sure if that's been the case in our instance. I don't inherently disagree, but I'm not 100% sold either.

If there's a clearly bad/misinformed/rude take, they simply don't get voted on. They rarely have more than the single 1 vote of their terrible opinion/sharing.

It's common to see +10 to +30 on a positive comment, with the comment it's responding to at 1.

I don't disagree that it could be a bad thing, but I think it's about the community and its practice surrounding it as well. So far in my experience on the instance I participate in I've seen it be effective.

Also I'm not sure if this is a thing on Lemmy but on reddit there were downvote farmers. Downvoting could also actually encourage people to perform these terrible comments to accumulate as many downvotes as they can. Downvoting disabled removed this problem in its entirety. Reddit has this issue long before some of its other problems and it has only grown since, up til I left. I don't know what the state of it is now, and I'm not sure how big of an issue it even is on Lemmy. It comes down to finding the line between what is preferable.

All in all, I think there are good and bad things about not having a downvote. I do think downvote disabled helps some aspects (engagement, active/trending posts) but it could also negatively influence federated content (spam, bad actors). I don't think a comment being at -30 is any more telling than the same comment at 1 when it's surrounded by +30 upvoted comments. However, if someone actively sought out getting downvoted, that can no longer exist.

IMO trading having bad comments be visibly negative in order to prevent the downvote farmers is a reasonable exchange
