The difference is that racists are usually racist due to a moral stance, not because it makes them money; ignoring them means we'll hear about it less but it won't actually go away. Clickbait/ragebait, on the other hand, isn't a moral viewpoint - it's meant to bring a person money via exposure/engagement, so less engagement leads to less money which leads to less bait because it's no longer working.
This is me. I played at the start and for a bit of Season 1 but lost interest ~60 hours in. Maybe it'll be good in a couple years, but for now there are too many other fun games available to keep playing this one.
I can see how creators who are solely on Patreon will benefit from the additional features, but I'm curious about how widely they'll be adopted by those who post on multiple platforms. If you have a YouTube channel and use Patreon for members-only content, for example, using the Patreon chat feature would exclude the non-member portion of your community from those conversations. While this is a good alternative for those who specifically want member-only chat areas, I don't see it replacing tools like Discord any time soon.
Also, having the member profiles on by default definitely made me pause when I got the email a few weeks ago. I know some people will enjoy that feature, but I personally went in and immediately turned it off.
If I ever get out of this apartment that only allows nano tanks, I - and my floors - will be in trouble. So many ideas, so little usable space for them all.
You make a fair point - there are plenty of free apps for Lemmy with no ads or purchases at all. For me personally, I use Sync (and paid for no ads) because I used it for years on Reddit and struggled to find a Lemmy app that worked/looked exactly how I wanted.
The price is on the high end, imo, but I don't consider it unreasonable given that I would've wanted to donate to the creator of whatever app I settled in anyway in order to support their work. The only difference to me is that this was a one-time upfront payment rather than a monthly donation on Patreon.
Yep, this is me. The artists and creators I follow are on X/Twitter, not Mastodon. If they move over then I'm happy to follow, but until that point I don't have a reason to switch.
There's an issues tracker on GitHub, which is also where you can submit enhancement suggestions or check to see what's already been submitted.
I use it for my own dvds/blu-rays, yeah. This is technically still considered piracy, but my personal view is that I'm fine paying for something once because the people who made it deserve to get paid, but I'm not fine paying for the same thing multiple times when the effort on their end to make the new version was basically zero. It would be one thing if there were physical costs like going from vhs to dvd, but that's not the case here.
Cata Classic is a fairly divisive topic in the community, mostly because of the split views of the expansion itself. There's no guarantee we'll get one at this point, so if you want to see the content now I'd recommend playing it in retail.
That said, you'll reach level 60 in retail long before you finish Cata (which is combined with the Vanilla zones in Chromie Time). You could always freeze your level if you really wanted to play through it all without one-shotting everything once you outlevel it, I just wanted to bring it to your attention. Leveling is very quick nowadays.
Correct, the Cata revamp only touched classic zones, not TBC or Wrath ones. Because of this, those two expansions are now the oldest content in the (retail) game.
