Right. That's what I thought. Not sure what GP is talking about, then.

I'd hope not. MAPPA is uniquely bad in that they have no production lines and staff jist scrambles around between projects. If they can emulate Madhouse or Bones' setup, that'd be more sustainable

He also has no stake in the company. I'd hardly call that "behind" it.

I'm pretty sure he's losing money on a lot of his videos.

"Gatekeeping"??? The man is dead. That's not gatekeeping. People don't need more "content", and certainly aren't entitled to it over his family's wishes. There's gotta be a moral floor somewhere.

It's time to admit Lemmy has won the "the biggest reddit alternative" award, why it's time for all of us to consider supporting it (here's why) + reopening r/LemmyMigration in c/reddit@lemmy.world

I don't need to be "spoonfed" anything, and it's a little weird for you to assume so. I interact with all of that media, watch film & anime, read books, watch documentaries, etc. on other platforms. I share my music and artwork, I write video games as well. This isn't about what I am up to.

Lemmy is a discussion site. I just think it'd be cool if we discussed more than what we currently discuss here. I think other prospective users might want to discuss other things than the current fare, and yeah - when it's not here, when wanting to discuss it is dismissed essentially as entitlement & wanting to be "spoonfed", they'll do it elsewhere: reddit.

Well, I figure "growth" in this case means increased diversity in communities and users. Maybe it's a double-edged sword, maybe the quality decay is avoidable - maybe not, idk.

I just think it'd be cool to see things other than linux, lefty, & star trek memes on here sometimes.
