Removed Comment Everything began when I discovered Shattered Pixel Dungeon while idly scrolling the Play Store. The pixel art caught my eye, so I tried the game and soon became a fan.
I wandered into the Pixel Dungeon subreddit to learn strategies and post screenshots of a lucky run. Then I noticed some moderators ([00_Evan@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/00_Evan)) were moving to Lemmy. Curious, I followed—that’s how I found Lemmy.
::: spoiler **Additional**
Joining Lemmy changed my life. I learned how much privacy matters and started caring about tech, FOSS, etc.; if I hadn’t noticed or taken an interest in the game, I might never have found Lemmy and would likely still be relying on Big Tech’s products.
Last but not least, I want to shout out to Oleg Dolya (watabou), [00_Evan@lemmy.world](https://lemmy.world/u/00_Evan), the fork makers, and all the contributors for creating such great FOSS games and amazing communities. They are true gifts to the community—and to me.
(Actually, I'm not a new Lemmy user. I had an account on another instance before I deleted it for some reasons).

Removed Comment Remember on Slashdot there were multiple *kinds* of upvotes one could give?
That's missing, in both Reddit & Lemmy.
So's the metamoderation.
I'd *love* to be able to vote-up items on the front-page as "more eyes should see this" for some, & "insightful" for others, & "wrong, but in an important way" for others, etc.
1-D ratings are idiotic, & they, *themselves* push the dumbing-down of discussion.
Whatever reward-system, or values-enforcement-system, you put in place, it has consequences.
IF the values-system *itself* eradicates nuance from discussion, as Twitter's 160-chars limit, or as 1-D ratings do, THEN .. the consequence is eradication-of-depth.
Twitter complained that people who tried the platform kept leaving after a few months, out of frustration.
So, YEARS later, they allowed longer tweets.
& stopped the user-loss, to significant extent.
I think that the coercive-limitations *chosen* in Lemmy & PieFed, etc, are counterproductive, for the kind of community I want: community where insights & multiple-perspectives are rampant, & ideology can go eat rocks.
But others prefer ideological-polarization, & that *is* served by 1-D valuation-systems, isn't it?
So, in a way, this is going to be a meta-polarization:
Once someone creates a *proper* server platform, one which uses combined-arms to *create* in-depth, clear, structured, helpful, multi-dimension-rated discussions, with user-created illustrations ( in SVG ), & have hierarchy of communities, too ( something that Reddit got wrong, & everybody's been copying that, out of assumed-habit ).
The amount of effort I have to put into blocking communities ( perhaps 1 or 2 thousand, now? ) that just clutter-my-view reduces the value of Lemmy/PieFed, significantly.
Why am I NOT PERMITTED to block the entire "gaming" CATEGORY, & then select-in a few sub-category communities, like gaming-memes, for fun??
That kind of antipattern-entrenchment, when done in EVERY dimension of the fediverse, damages the entire fediverse's value.
& when you change from few-people to vast-group, every antipattern gets strengthened, robustified ( anti-fragile ), & that makes mere-problems become unkillable-monsters.
I don't envy mods when the server-system is itself rewarding the wrong kind of mind & the wrong kind of interaction, you know?
Anyways, it's the same as with programming-languages, with large apps, with cultures, with human-languages, etc:
Whatever fundamental ARCHITECTURAL+PROCESS DECISIONS you make at the beginning, CONTROL what potential you've still got, later on.
Try explaining mothering's meaning, using only arithmetic: you CAN'T, because the allowed-meaning in arithmetic *precludes* ALL categories-of-meaning except number-values, right?
It goes the other-way, too: you can't design an aircraft's surface using only terminology from mothering, for the same fundamental reason.
Similarly, Python CANNOT be made efficient the way Julia is, because it was made to contradict the way CPU's use memory, e.g.
& it's the same thing with 1-D rating-systems communities.
You *cannot* make Insightful, Inspired, & whatever the rest of the *specific* upvotes that Slashdot had, be improving one's discussions, if one has already *prevented* all such fine-granularity of feedback AND one has blocked metamoderation, for weeding-out idiots.
< sigh >
Really, it requires better brainstorming, before committing implimentation-decisions into architectural-habit/culture/tradition.
AND it requires better-modeling/prototyping *before* locking-in such decisions.
Because once they're entrenched, then you aren't getting them changed.
Robust/antifragile's a real problem, for antipatterns.

Removed Comment see, i find that govts are evil almost everywhere, they do not have the interests of the common people, and children in their mind. You definitely should not care less about the children and people of Iran just because their Govt is oppressive, if you do so, then, logically you should just not care about children almost anywhere, as govts tend to be evil almost everywhere. but we must educate ourselves about the truth, and do our best to propagate it. The truth is that America is a viciously dangerous imperialist nation built on the blood of thousands, and thousands of innocent peoples all over the world, from Cuba to Iran, from Cambodia to Gaza. you must condemn oppression everywhere in the world, and stand, and sympathise with the oppressed peoples of the world. by scathatheworm @lemmy.ml reason: Rule 1

Removed Comment > Make USAmerica great folk
I agree they have the lack of morals, but also they're largely idiots at every level. Literally, the smarter and more competent you are, the less likely you're MAGA. Of course they could try to order research agencies to proceed with such a program, but by the reverse token, such folks would be very likely to leak that info to the press, I think.
The other thing to keep in mind is that MAGA folk simply don't think in terms of long-term planning or ambitious programs. It's usually more about immediate grift, opportunism, punishing their enemies, and so forth.
Europe is a whole 'nother kettle of fish, but I can't really speak to that with sufficient knowledge. And this is all speculation, anyway. Russia, China, & NK are all more likely to me because they're all finished dictatorships, with any opposition largely crushed. They're also far smarter and more cunning then MAGA leadership. by JohnnyEnzyme @piefed.social reason: Rule 1
