The Last Kingdom.
I can't quite put my finger on it but the series really keeps me watching.
After multiple EU-based users complained about not being able to access Threads app through VPN, Meta confirmed it is blocking such efforts.

Flashback to when my sister in law had an electric car and felt compelled to plug it in at my place everytime she visited.

I'm old now. I've finally realised I get more enjoyment from watching someone play than to actually play the game. Why is that? Do you experience that as well?
There is some confirmation bias, that's likely true. However, I think they're also looking at the old games through rose-tinted goggles. Those games were played when they were literally the best the market had to offer. The mechanics were fresh and the story was new.
I tried playing some olders games that I loved, and honestly I just couldn't care less about them. As much as they were amazing back then, they're nothing exciting by today's standards.
I'm a wait-and-see guy but the problem is by the time I've noticed I just don't care about the game anymore. As an example: Cyberpunk 2077.
When I played World of Warcraft, you had no cosmetics. It was the monthly subscription and the odd expansion. Everything in the game was accessible if you were willing to put the time and effort into it. Some content was very long so you really had to pick what you wanted. Some people had special fishing gear, some people had a fancy mount, and others had fancy titles.
While some of that still remains, I find way too much is accessible with money in most games. There's good and bad. You have games constantly push out new content, refreshing gameplay, and skins to pay for it. On the other hand, you have games that just try to milk their customers. I'd say 99% of mobile games are absolute disgraces.
The other facet is that I'm older now. I don't have the absolute freedom that comes with being a child. If I can pay an extra dollar to progress a bit quicker, maybe that's better for me? I don't know.
You remind me of this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQ8jIcmSj2g
So what you're saying is we need to open a Threads account and become Nazis?
As Moderator to !BestOf, this is my biggest fear. I've been working pretty extensively on this community in my spare time and I'm afraid that if the Moderators of r/BestOf decide to federate, we will lose. I'm not entirely nervous about fragmenting the community so much as just being r/LesserBestOf. By design, this community shouldn't really be fragmentated unless we decide to become BestOf something specific.
Not sure what I expected, but yep... that's a toaster.

I've been on Reddit for like 12 years and I was never banned by an admin. The fact that you got banned twice is sus.
I did get banned from blackpeopletwitter for being white.
I disagree. A rubber band and a donut do not have an 'in' and 'out'.
With Love,
Moderators of BestOf
Honestly, I think it's important that people sub to all the same-subject communities across the Fediverse. However.. the only time it's really important to make the distinction is while creating a post. I hope we get the equivalent of 'multireddits' for all spaces with the same subject.

You're missing the magnitude of scale in your examples.
I bet you have more food than some people. Are you giving it to them?
I have a fridge big enough to feed 1 family. Wealthy people have refrigerators the size of a shopping mall. "Not my food!" says the Billionaire.
You have a roof over your head, other people don’t. Are you giving it to them?
It's raining. My house is big enough for 1 family. Wealthy people have a roof that is 50 miles square but refuse to share.
When first logged into kbin, I noticed a lot of important communities were missing so I created a few in hopes of putting them in the right hands when things took off. I'm at about that point where I'm ready to give some because there's no way I can manage 5+ at the same time.
I have promoted some users to moderator, but how do I give them completely?
## The very best comments on the Fediverse as voted by the users. ####
As moderator, we will let the community manage the content and decide what is worthy of the frontpage.
I understand the community looks empty on Lemmy, but I can assure you it's not. There must be an issue with the integration between kbin and lemmy, it should be fixed and the real numbers should come up eventually.

I have been trying to grow this community. I've made some good progress, but despite all that I'm still the sole contributor. What are some tricks to encourage others to post content?
I'm the creator of kbin.social/m/bestof. I have been 'advertising' the subreddit of it to start getting traction. Despite all my efforts, I'm still the only contributor to my community. How do communities entice their subscribers to post content?
