They're also saying "we don't need more", overlooking the entire value of representation.

Haha whaaaat. After all this time, I had no idea that was a thing. Any enemy? Not bosses though, right?

Resident Evil Director's Cut on PS1. I was fairly young and not very good at the "survival" aspect of the survival horror. I tried to kill everything I encountered and consumed copious amounts of ammo and herbs doing so. I reached a place where I had a single ink ribbon left, no ammo, health on the red, and confused on where I needed to go next. And I had to go do homework. So I used my last ribbon and saved.

I discovered next time I played that the way forward was through a tight corridor I missed filled with zombies who could now one-shot me. I tried and tried and literally was unable to get through. First time I ever learned the word "soft-locked" as my brother wheezed it out while laughing. Good times!

Oh that's interesting. So it's not just a connection being made when it comes to federation; contributions are stored locally somehow too, maybe?

Is there a way for us to see all the instances you have defederated from? As a new user, it's really confusing that I can still go to a community and post a comment there without knowing that we're defederated from them and they will never see it.

I was going to ask what the number used to be! I am new as of last week, and even from when I started, it's insane to see posts with hundreds of upvotes. Crazy upswing in such a short amount of time. I wonder how long time Lemmy users feel about all this.

@[email protected], you're going to want in on this conversation.

I better start seeing smoked meats posted on this shit. Got any recommendations for quality beef jerky or anything of the like that will ship in the States? You've got me hungry now.

So sick. What do you call it when something feels old-world but also futuristic? Love how you shot this too.

That's exactly what I did. I moved my reddit app elsewhere and put Jerboa in its place. Now when I instinctually click, I get confused for a minute as I look at Lemmy and then sigh in relief and start browsing lol. Brains take so much work to adjust to change.

 

There are 1,820 Subreddits gone dark and counting, as of this post. Thought others might get a kick out of this; it's kinda wild watching them go one by one. Really interested to see what this looks like tomorrow.
