Ah, the good old days of serfdom when peasants were tied to the land/manor and its Lord in a slave-like state.

You see some wild shit on Lemmy apparently.

An impasta because I’m a human bean.

And throughout the 1930s you had bootleggers and gangsters with Tommy guns terrorizing urban areas across America with gangland shootings and widespread abductions since they outgunned the police. What happened? The feds got bigger guns and passed gun control to get machine guns off the street. And this was actually possible back then because the NRA was still a legitimate civil society organization emphasizing responsible gun ownership and not yet a glorified marketing campaign for arms manufacturers.

The OPs question is basically a false premise born of forgetting history.

Cult people using the cult as an excuse/justification to behave like selfish assholes. A tale as old as time.

When are the rest of us going to get sick of this petulant bullshit?

For me it’s been pretty great. Lemmy and the fediverse kinda remind me of reddit circa 2007 or 2008 before the eternal September. I’m going to enjoy this for as long as it lasts.

I may be missing something, but the article completely loses the thread when it starts grousing over "why won’t the 3Ps pay up? " Because even if they pay, NSFW content is still not available for users. Reddit is attempting to force third party devs to charge for an inferior product, which is obviously untenable for all parties.

PCs as hybrid consoles really appeals to me. I love the switch form factor but I hate the walled garden. More competition in the space is a good thing for us. I almost can’t wait for the switch 2 so I can upgrade to a PC-based hybrid console.
