I’ve seen more articles about this game than any other and haven’t heard of a si gle person in my office of gamers or my gamer friends talking about it.

Nothing in the advertising looked even a little appealing.

Why is this game getting so much buzz from Lemmy and this website rockpapershotgun?

You and the rest of the preteens can sit with your eyeballs in your head for all anybody gives a shit lmao.

Lmao, I reported genocidal comments in r/worldnews and was site banned for the same reason.

I had 4 reports total, 2 were acted on and the other 2 were pretty blatant calls to violence.

It’s actually what made me quit Reddit.

raped children don’t matter compared to my mental comfort

The disgusting selfish ego of the religious is the part I can never empathize with or sympathize with.

So, you admit God must change in the future to defeat Satan? You do not believe he is capable of defeating him as he is?

So God is neither all powerful nor perfect.

You do not worship the main texts of Christianity with those claims.

Notice how you don’t actually want to discuss the topics or respond to the things I’ve said. You want to inject some fluffy talk to reinforce hiding your eyes from the discussion to pretend like you are participating.

If I worshipped something as a God, I would be devout enough to discuss it with a person instead of just talking over their statements about it.

Let’s revisit where my previous comment started

God was incapable of defeating him when a child was being raped and a perfect being is not capable of change.

The next child being raped will be watched by your God, too, as he will never be capable of defeating evil, as a perfect being will never change.

You are happy to worship an imperfect powerless God who let’s children be raped because a book written by child rapists said things might get better one day.

God was incapable of defeating him when a child was being raped and a perfect being is not capable of change.

The next child being raped will be watched by your God, too, as he will never be capable of defeating evil, as a perfect being will never change.

To change God would be to admit imperfection. Which is why I love the irony of the New Testament.

So if God is not capable of overcoming evil, and we know he is willing to watch innocent children be raped, why worship him?

God is not all powerful if Satan can overcome him.

That doesn’t line up with a single person’s version of the story.

He says he was locked up for looking gay, Turkey claims they locked him up for being at a pride event.

Neither of those are public displays of affection.

Bootlicker

He claims he didn’t participate.

So do we believe the people who lock people up for being gay or the gay dude thrown in prison for 20 days for looking gay?

Which is another failure of using personal relationships as an analogy to corporations vs people.

We are not talking about interpersonal emotional discourse, we are talking about consumer vs corporation and corrupt capitalist corporate powers at work.

I say burn the megacorps myself but I understand not everybody is as passionate on that topic.

The original discussion was about user engagement and the cost to benefit ratio of engaging them. I find it somewhat hypocritical to claim we shouldn’t care about their success and to accept that some people want to use the site, while your original comment is complaining about user engagement on the other website.

If we are supposed to accept users being on the other website, why are you commenting about site traffic?

The breakup analogy falls short for numerous reasons, primarily because we are talking about communities rather than individuals.

More like a divorce with kids involved than a simple breakup. Some people are happy to divorce and run from their kids, abandoning them to their ex, but some people want to keep as much of their family healthy and intact as possible, forcing them to go to court or other forms of confrontational discourse in order to achieve their goals.

Many of us come from communities that have been split and the only way to rebuild and regroup is by engaging the missing community members where they are.

I respect the mental health boundaries you need, but not all of us have that conflict* (trying to find a word that does not sound demeaning, I am not a wordist sorry).

For me, yes I’m upset that reddit is a burning shithole, but it weighs on my mind no more than leaving myspace, Icanhascheeseburgers, ragecomics, 4chan, Facebook, or any of the other numerous forums and social media sites I have split from.

So I respect your need to avoid it, but I do not believe this is the same for the majority of people who are interested in taking action.

Do you expect to see the site die in a week?

How far back do you think user engagement on r/place will stall reddit failing?

Do you think not using the canvas would cause more harm than their favorite event being covered in language shitting on the CEO and making the pretty canvas not marketable?

Personally, I strongly disagree if you do think so. Even if every Lemmy user drove 0 traffic to reddit, it would change very little of their day to day engagement.

It’s important in the long term to move away from reddit and reduce engagement of the site, but the cost benefit ratio of fucking up the marketability of r/place strongly outweighs the effect users would have engaging the site.
