Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn't go as they'd hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that "Fuck Reddit" is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we're about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

Reddit: We love all the free labor our mods do for us Also Reddit: COMPLY OR BE REMOVED FROM YOUR INDENTURED SERVITUDE

[–] [email protected] 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I love how Reddit is just coming right out and saying it, they think their users are total dumbshits who can't read or observe anything that's going on.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s just obvious pretense though. They can’t simply say "we want you to shut the fuck up with those protests and return to business as usual", so they say "the improper use of the NSFW flair is confusing for the users, stop misapplying it for them, totally not because we are annoyed with your protest"

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

Honest communication hasn't ever been the strong point of Reddit staff but they're really taking it to new lows lately.

It started with "those third party apps are using up all our internets" as a mask for "the API was free because your content was borderline worthless but now we can sell it to AI companies" and the smell of bullshit has only grown stronger.

[–] [email protected] 44 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This one can't possibly end well for reddit. If they remove the mods...

A) They leave the sub open until they find new ones, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content until then.

B) They close the sub until they find new ones, encouraging most of the userbase to leave, and likely not come back when it reopens.

C) They accept the flood of troll requests to takeover the sub, and the userbase goes even more crazy with NSFW content, but also with mod support.

Not exactly a win for the userbase, but much bigger not-win for reddit, and it's gonna be fun to watch.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you kidding? Cyberpunks get to fuck over a corp, this is absolutely a win for the user base!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

They have all that rage from CP77's launch to tap into.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just start posting screenshots of the sexually explicit parts of the game and see how Reddit responds about taking away NSFW status.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

They're fine with posts being marked nsfw, because they can still post ads.

If the entire sub is nsfw, they can't post ads in that sub.

That's what this has always been about.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And I was planning on getting the game when the expansion comes out. I'm glad to see the community is holding strong against the very thing their game is about.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It's a totally SFW game, too, so I honestly don't understand the point the mods are trying to make here though. The first time my V (sorry if the spoiler tag doesn't work properly I'm confused about where I actually type my spoiler)

spoiler___hired a prostitute and had graphic sex with them
I thought, "ah yes, what a wholesome family oriented game. I think I'll invite my grandma over to play with me."

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Don't forget how

spoilerThe first mission in the city is fighting a bunch of organ harvesters and saving a naked lady. And then later on, a guy selling snuff porn VR can trick you into being captured by those same harvesters. So you escape and get your stuff, but not before your boobs and/or junk flops all over the place.


Honestly it's probably easier to list the stuff that isn't NSFW from some perspective than otherwise.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I have been sceptical after the disastrous launch but recently grabbed it myself during a sale, and I can really recommend it now. It still isn’t 100% perfect, but it is an enjoyable experience and great storyline, not to mention the amazing setting and visuals. It isn’t all that was promised before launch, but a complete and largely bug free experience.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Honestly even at launch the game was a blast. it needed a lot more polish and Q&A no doubt, but the core experience was there. And sometimes the glitches were half the fun.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah it didn't live up to the unrealistic hype (like every NPC on screen would have a routine and schedule for their day, etc) and the bugs were pretty obvious, but I still had a blast playing it at launch.

I'll probably wait a couple of years and then play it through again with the dlc so it feels a bit more fresh.

When the dlc releases everyone gets a free large update that reworks a lot of stuff.

It'll be closer to what was promised in a few months

They are really going to try to bully players of the game cyberpunk? The game which themes revolves around going out in a blaze of glory and fuck corpos. If nothing else marked the end of reddit this sure as hell does.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Don't forget the part where the main plot of the game is corpos fucking you over too!

From a quick skim through the thread there is not one mention of lemmy. The OP only talks about going to /r/lowsodiumcyberpunk but not leaving the platform entirely.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

Someone has mentioned it now, and also a link to a cp77 lemmy community.

The OP mentions that the sub is their community and as such they are basically going down with it. They have no interest in modding for another community but will gladly participate in it.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

I've also noticed this and I think its sad.. but that just means that other people have to post content to lemmy to attract cp77 fans and start growing the community.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The transparent astroturfing is pretty wild to see.

Not that they're doing it.

Just that they suck so much at it.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

effing lol. Can they be more blatant about it? Its like they dont even care

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

I wonder if /r/lowSodiumCyberpunk will make the move as well. Or maybe the great schism will finally end and they'll merge users again.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Think that'll depend on the DLC launch.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

prepare for /r/lowlowsodiumcyberpunk

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

They voted me into oblivion when I suggested it.

You fuck with cyberpunk's tech, you get fucked by cyberpunks.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I can't see that unless I download their app. Can you summarize? I used to roll with dnd memes.

Admin threatens mod with removal, Mod asks admin to make an intimidation check.

stupid question: is there a way to comment/login in kbin threads with my lemmy account? Reading a bit online it seems they should both be operable with a single account, but not sure how

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yes. As long as the kbin instance you want to interact with isn't de-federated from the Lemmy instance where your account exists then you should have no problem and be able to interact with kbin content on that instance seamlessly the same way you would interact with Lemmy content.

It's going to be a real mess

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Did you play the game at launch?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

On PC it got to an okay state pretty quickly. The others, not so much.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I recently bought it on sale. GTX 1060 6gb renders 50-60 fps (lowest settings) with some drops in crowded areas. It has never crashed, and never had any major bug. Game is stored on ssd, but I doubt it would run this smoothly on hdd Overally 100% playable on PC

You can say fuck on the internet, my friend

Fitting for the game too. Based.

Maybe we will get more traffic on lemmy if it goes down.
