Their politics comm is cursed.

Yes.

It's really weird. If I go to the home feed I can comment and it shows up but nothing in the app indicates I'm actually logged in

Do you have to do something to get the apps to work with this instance? I get a perpetual loading animation when trying to login from Connect and a toast saying "not_logged_in" with Jerboa followed by another perpetual animation.

Tried clearing cache and storage for Connect and the issue persisted.

I don't play multiplayer much anymore, so this might be a hot take but... Halo peaked with Combat Evolved in single player at least.

It was an extremely well made sci-fi blockbuster for its time that revolutionized console FPS. Halo 2 tried to say more than it could about religion, struggled to balance its duel protagonists, and was unfinished. Halo 3 straight up dropped that theme and the Arbiter (the more interesting character) in general for pretty dumb bombast. ODST was alright. Reach was the best since 1. Halo 4 was schlock that required extended media to fully understand. I haven't played the other two, admittedly.

I wasn't shown much in a classroom setting, but when I was younger, I did seek some out videos precisely because I knew I was sheltered from a lot of the darker aspects of the human experience and wanted to look behind the curtain in what was basically a safe, controlled environment.

Some of the first videos I saw of people dying, besides like 9/11 I guess, were protest videos of protesters getting shot.

Nowadays, I know I don't need to see that stuff anymore so I avoid it when I can, but what I watched left a strong enough impression to shape some of my politics and I believe help keep myself attuned to reality and realize the bubble I really live in.

✅ - good compromise for now. Keeps the lemmy.world and Beehaw liberals out. And would let me use my .ML account and the mobile apps to interact with the site and wider fediverse all in one place. The only downside I see is that it would block users who self host their own instance.

If people don't want to federate, then there's literally no point in basing this site off Lemmy and it should just become a centralized server.

I'm pretty sure Dark Souls, general Soulsborne challenge me senpai games, and JRPGs that lean into fan service anime tropes please the modern "hardcore gamer" crowd a lot more than God of War, The Last of Us, Red Dead Redemption 2 and other "realistic", cinematic games.

It's very easy for me to enjoy something yet still be critical of it.

If anything, it just helps me appreciate the things I can enjoy without having to ignore the politics

Oh Jerboa is just the native Android app developed by the Lemmy devs. Just like using an app more than clogging my mobile browser up with tabs.

The third party apps shutting down have various features. Some have easy to use gestures for upvoting or downvoting, having multiple accounts, etc. and it seems there must have been some mod tools or those used the API. Just a nicer experience on a phone.

Lemmy.ml has been struggling today in my experience on Jerboa. Not sure they're ready for it

I know it's the Fediverse and we can all connect to each other and blah blah blah

But I really hate that kbin exists. Would rather people just join and improve Lemmy, even if on liberal instances

Right?! That was basically my reaction to this thread and now my major worry. I want Lemmy and the fediverse to grow, but not at the expense of it just becoming Reddit 2.0 in its userbase culture

Hexbear is just a forked Lemmy instance

The liberals coming from Reddit are simultaneously making the platform much better to use by posting more content and also killing the cultural vibe with these takes that you just know are coming from a place of ignorance.

They said "good", not necessarily "best in class of the year". Most of those movies aren't ones I'd call bad, even if a lot I'd argue are safe and middling. That's usually the criticism of the a Oscars from the film community.

I also don't think good has to do with widely seen or not either. Popularity is not an indication of quality.

I mean I don't know anyone else who saw Neptune Frost or the latest Weerasethakul film

How dare you post this antisemitism by suggesting a lobbying group is trying to push its agenda by giving money to politicians!

Nah the bomb af "moviegame" was

I need weebs to stop pretending Japanese culture = anime, and thus a distaste of anime tropes is some type of cultural insensitivity.

It's like thinking Western culture is superhero comics and not just a pulp genre targeted at adolescents.

As someone who doesn't know much at all about animation, this video seemed pretty interesting.

But I had to turn it off halfway through because I'm very much over the "angry nerd" schtick on YouTube.

Agree with the overall point it seemed to be trying to make though.
