That seems cool. I'll definitely try that out, thanks for sharing!
Already using sponsor block and that saved me quite a bit of time!

That's always the one I'm thinking of when anyone mentions the xkcd.
npm is one crazy infrastructure.
Wait Now I am confused.
On my end this post right here is posted to kbin.social/m/random
Like so: https://kbin.social/m/random/t/50106/Inactive-Community-Warning
If I try to visit https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/c/random@kbin.social it tells me the community can not be found.
The original author of this post, posted to /m/random is db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com, but this user is also not a moderator of /m/random.
Why would this community/magazine be deleted? It's very active.
Is kbin somehow grabbing posts and proxying them into /m/random?

And my response is also in this community.
Danke für den Input!
Ich bin da auf jeden Fall bei dir.
Es scheint, als benötigt das komplette Fediverse noch ein bisschen Zeit um weitere Maßnahmen für die Moderation bereitzustellen. Nicht nur innerhalb, sondern auch zwischen Instanzen.
Denke es ist definitv kein einfaches Thema und eine Pauschallösung zu finden wird schwierig.
I think the entirety of reddit has established patterns that are hard/impossible to break. Which caused me to develop a certain feeling of disgust when viewing at any sort of behavioral reddit meta.
It was getting difficult to post, difficult to comment, and difficult to find content that stimullates the mind intellectually. And it yet remains to be seen if federated link&news aggregators will share that same fate, or divert and do it differently.
Das ist ein guter Punkt!
Mir ist dazu allerdings grade etwas eingefallen, worüber ich gerne andere Meinungen haben möchte.
Ist es notwendigerweise gut, Informationen absichtlich auszuschließen, welche nicht der eigenen Meinung/Erwartung oder Haltung entsprechen?
In den letzten Jahren gab es viel Diskussion um Information bubbles, mit dem Thema dass aufgrund einseitger Berichterstattung und dem Fehlen von unterschiedlichen / anderen Quellen falsche oder irreführende Informationen verbreitet wurden, so echo-chamber mäßig. Die Menschen, welche sich darin befinden, bekommen dies dann irgendwann gar nicht mehr mit.
Zum einen finde ich es gut, dass die Freiheit besteht, sich von anderen Communities abzuspalten, allerdings empfinde ich, dass ein Schritt wie defederation keine leichte Entscheidung sein darf. Hauptsächlich um die Informationsvielfalt zu bewahren, die meiner Ansicht nach zwingend für eine gesunde Meinungsbildung ist.
Dissidenz und Befürwortungen sollten in Balance sein, um die eigene Urteilsfähigkeit zu bewahren.
Ich weiß es ist schwierig, auch weil die Betreiber einzelner Instanzen die volle Kontrolle haben und Moderation viel Zeit kostet. Jedoch wäre es ideal, wenn die Entscheidung über De- und Re-Federation zumindest ein bisschen in den Händen der Community/Benutzer einer jewelligen Instanz läge.
For context, I wasn't very excited about Skyrim when it came out, but then had lots of fun playing it once I picked it up.
With Starfield it's even "worse", because I don't even consider playing it at the moment. The game's setting doesn't really suit me that much.
I think the state of modern games has slowly changed over the years.
A lot of them have a set formula that we've all become accusomed to over the last decade. Especially with AAA games it's all quite streamlined. Every major studio has some sort of game design style and there hasn't been that much wiggling room.
I was able to enjoy a few newer games eventually, but only because the game universe interested me in the first place and I sort of forced myself to start playing.
There are also lots of indie games, but to some degree I feel like they also follow some kind of gameplay style patterns.
Very rarely do we get something new and super exciting. I believe the era of 2006-2016 was an outlier, where a lot of new ideas were technically viable for the first time due to excellent console and, at the later stage, PC performance, which skyrocketed a lot of innovative ideas. Both for AAA studios and indie developers.
That being said, we still get new exciting games every now and then, but they're harder to find, harder to finance while retaining creative liberty, and it's more difficult to convince players to start picking it up in a sea of games.
So I wouldn't say that you're getting old, but more like the gaming industry is getting old similar to the movie / tv show industry, where we've had this pattern of usual mediocreness for quite some time.
I would definitely agree that posting on reddit was difficult.
By default I feel like most posts were handled in a, remove first, ask questions later fashion.
Commenting was a bit better but there were a lot of set opinions and/or blatant misinformation.
Comment and post anxiety still exist for me here, and it probably won't change for a king time.
I get what you're saying, but I wouldn't say it was pointless as a whole. Maybe it's because I'm looking at it from a slightly different perspective.
Karma did help push engagement, in fact, the system worked.
People cared about this number, and started to optimize their behavior such that they receive the largest amount of karma in the shortest time.
Since being active by posting / commenting facilitated getting karma, it helped produce a lot of content and made people interact with each other.
The problem with that is that it wasn't tied to quality (and couldn't be). As you said, that encouraged regurgitating the same meta over and over. It never incentivized good content, just quantity.
So my conclusion would be more like: Karma was pointless for animating users to create good and thoughtful content.
Instead it helped driving engagement forward, but at the cost of somewhat turning people into bots.
Posts receiving upvotes / downvotes is okay, but I'm not sure in what way reputation - or karma - should be displayed for a user account, publicly or privately.
