To be fair, it was about the bigots too. I had to look up the song after a certain group blew up about it. It’s a lovely song about inclusivity and what it might take for us to stop fighting eachother.
He was just a Fledditor. Living in a Lemmy woooorld.

Side note, do you have a link to the full video? I had to use a VPN to try and find it and got terrible quality.
Legitimately curious here, what did you find disgusting? The message of the song, the callback to classical art and religion, performers in costume, or something else?
I think his argument comes down to, don’t hate the playa, hate the game. Far better for them to have made the game, as it clearly is a good game. The publisher coming in and shitting all over everything is what makes the situation bad. Hopefully, this can serve as more inspiration for indie devs (who do make most of my fav games) and maybe lead to more studios not accepting Sony as a publisher. I can’t fault Arrowhead for wanting to make what they love, but I can hope Sony burns to the ground never to rise again.
I mean involvement of the voters themselves. I push a lot of my friends to just go vote, but they still won’t. If you figure out how to get people to actually want to fix the situation, let me know.
I agree with the viewpoints, but many voted for the Russia supporting party, and noone else got enough support in the primaries. There needs to be massively increased primary involvement before a systemic change to move away from the two party system can be feasible. I’m a big fan of ranked choice voting myself, but what big party candidate is going to advocate for that in the current climate? I’m hoping changes can happen over the next decade as my generation and the one below get even more active.
That would be a really fast way for me to stop spending any of my time on youtube I guess.
I’m on my phone less, commenting more, avoiding more ads, and much happier with the content/comments on Lemmy. Reddit chains sometimes felt a little brain-rotty.
Weird how it feels manageable to keep in the loop on Lemmy compared to Reddit. I like it a lot more.
Exactly. Do what you can when you can. Everyone needs a hand sometimes. Be that for the people around you. Even if you can’t agree on everything.
Lot of good things in here. A couple thoughts. One: Because Lemmy is nice to be on/use. The community generally ‘slaps’ as the generations below me call it. Two: Also white male USA and have also been deeply concerned for the past several years. I chose to focus on community directly around me while acknowledging the crappy situation everywhere due to asshats abusing power/status/wealth. I take solace that the people I choose to spend time around are generally reasonable people and try to help eachother out when we can and always when needed.
I’m working towards it, starting with Newpipe for my current content while searching for new.
Based. That and comics of culture.
Exactly! Add the alchohol and drugs and there’s no self-control left! Glad I’m not the only one, judging by the username.
Phone user here, can confirm. Wouldn’t get anything done if I had lemmy or reddit open on my pc.
It feels like mostly internet veterans and people that care to explain themselves to me. Less recent users that don’t know technology or are newer to social media that isn’t “mainstream”.
Agreed. I’ll be staying with Lemmy. I don’t care about daily active user numbers, I care about how Spez is treating Reddit and having good post content. Redditors themselves (as a whole) are not a problem, and I have a plethora of good posts to go through when I get on every few days.
Have a great day yourself
Thanks for the assist. I’m not an expert on the deep lore of the internet, but remember a few things from History class.
Makes sense it’d be the French again. They pioneered the internet after all.
Not how I would try to pick up a date, but shoot your shot I guess.
