We have added a new rule to the community:
Rule # 1: Stay on Topic
The purpose of this community has always been to share news and have discussions about everything related to Nintendo, some of these can be good, some of these can be bad. If you want to gush over the new Mario, you are welcome to do so, if you want to criticise Nintendo for their various lawsuits, you are also welcome to do so, as they are all on topic discussions.
What is not on-topic is posting “Fuck Nintendo” and it’s variations on random posts. We have generally ignored these before, as we don’t want to stop anyone from sharing their sentiments, but this has started to increase the toxicity in the posts, for those who do enjoy Nintendo games and the community. You can still disagree, or even hate Nintendo, but your comment must be related to the post. If you just want to discuss general issues with Nintendo, you are welcome to create a post detailing it’s failures, as long as it doesn’t break any other rules.
So, in short, comments like the following are fine:
“Man, I hate Nintendo, why can’t they give the game upgrades for free like PlayStation?”
But comments like the ones below are off-topic and will be removed:
“Fuck Nintendo”
Or
“I hope this flops”
Please report any off-topic posts you find, so that mods can take a look and remove them.
Thanks
P.S: Since this rule has been added on top, as #1, all other rule numbers have increased by 1, so previous #1 has become #2, and #2 has become #3 and so on.
Thank you. The circlejerking has gotten so far out of hand and it’s tiring. It’s gotten to the point where I can’t say I’m excited for Kirby Air Riders without someone following me around to tell me I am literally killing gaming - and yes, that was an actual reply guy I had to deal with.
I don’t go into into communities for things I hate just to annoy the people there, and I don’t understand why anyone feels the need to come here just to be obnoxious.
Yeah, lemmy users used to be really considerate, so it’s sad to see it is starting to get plagued by the same issue as other social networks have.
I think that people have a hard time recognizing that you can like a thing but hate the company that made it and that’s not cognitive dissonance.
Believe me, I’m critical of a lot of things Nintendo does. But I also don’t think they’re anywhere near the worst publisher in the industry right now. And at the end of the day, their games are a lot more appealing to me than almost anything else coming out of the AAA space.
