If other sites are anything to go by, drama. Nothing but complete and total drama. Stats are ok, but only if they support maximum drama. Play analysis and tactical discussion is completely unacceptable.

this popped up on my feed, and although I'm not familiar with the genre, it's really interesting! Are there any places you'd recommend to start?

Good luck trying to sell the epic Tolstoy novel "And"

This was a great read! It's so fascinating how tape trading was basically a preview for things like Napster and file sharing.

I kinda wonder how they were able to add subtitles and things like that on top of the tapes, I'd imagine it took a lot of work.

This is pretty helpful for something like Zelda for me

In a row?

That's not what Alakazam is talking about here though. Just by owning land, it generates money, magically, from "nothing". And then the vast majority of landowners use that as excuse to entrench their wealth and then you get... Waves hands at hyperinflated rent crisis what we're all stuck in now.

Whether someone wants to be one of the "good land owners" or not doesn't change the fact that the system is set up for the ones that want to exploit it

Hey that's awesome! Sounds like you're off to a fresh start.

Yeah, and I'm also not extracting grandma

You're not supposed to have fun. You're supposed to learn so you can get a job that you enjoy.

Hi, elder leftist here. The whole education system is already set up to produce obedient workers. If you don't believe me, ask yourself how much time is spent teaching kids to organise effectively, or advocate for issues they care about. Or even just build good communication with their classmates, like how to react to bullying.

All that matters is to follow the authority, don't question the rules, put the things in your head that they give you and nothing else.

The reason kids are bored in school is because the current system doesn't address the real problems they have, so why should they care about the system.

After reading your post, I'm more on the side of following beehaw to the format that suits them best. I couldn't figure out why I wasn't finding those quality posts here after a while, and what you said about them being quickly pushed out in favor of new content makes a lot of sense.

Although I came here through the rexodus, I agree that the Reddit style format still carries a lot of problems that I'd rather not keep, and it's important to have a quality space I can post (also because I'm trans and need those spaces too)

I do still feel a need for the dopamine rush of cat pics and memes, so I'm not sure if there's a way to hybridize that with a forum? If not, there's always burner Lemmy accounts (or Tumblr lol) for that

This reminds me of that time Hemmingway tried to write a story with as few words as possible and came up with:

Baby shoes, never worn.
