There's a long answer to this, but the short answer is death

When the.. power is out? Where do you live where that's a concern and how do you heat your water without electricity?

Totally agree. But the inclusion of multiplayer shows they are listening to feedback, as a large portion of the playerbase wanted to have that.

It's not about cringe imo, more the point is that the comments don't look real at all - it's all bots

I like the discussion on nicotine, but yeah. Op's "medical moment" seems unrelated to nicotine!

Sinfest was the bee's knees. I still have 2 of the first printed comic books, treasure them and the memory of fun times with early sinfest. But it should have ended many years ago already, author ruined his legacy.

I believe you have to think a little more long term before submitting to the idea that "I can't change anything".

Can I change things in the next 1 hour? If you're broke now, probably yes you will still be broke after 1 hour.

But that's not how life works. We go to schools and develop ourselves in other ways, to have a better life 10 or 20 years later.

Tiedote oli tyypillistä pöhinäjargonia - OP ei valaissut lainkaan, mitä pilveen siirtyy ja milloin. Itsekin pitäisin kriittisen infran siirtoa pilveen huonona, mutta on vallan todennäköistä, että sellaista ei ole todellisuudessa suunnitteillakaan, vaan siirtyvät palvelut ovat jotain korttimaksuja (tai muuta maksunvälitystä) vähäpätöisempää.

Why do you care about downvotes? You sharing your opinion and perspective is what makes the platform better. Other people clicking an arrow means nothing :)

I'm starting to think the splintering caused by instances blocking each other is going to cause users to abandon Lemmy entirely. At the moment instances can suddenly decide to block other instances, and that is going to hurt both users on the instance that put a block into place, as well as users on the blocked instance.

The blocking is awful for an average Lemmy user, because you can get cut off from communities you already subscribed to, without any notification! So you might post and comment without realizing that your content is not getting published, even though you and your local instance still see it.

The user experience would be improved by getting a warning if you try to contribute to a community in this case. And also your subscriptions should show warnings about not working anymore, and those should come up as notifications on the account.
