Surprising nobody, Reddit Corp threatening a gaming sub of a fanatically anti-corporate video game doesn’t go as they’d hoped.

The mod team have basically decided that “Fuck Reddit” is the way forward, and appear to have practically total support of their entire sub for the choice taken.

Presumably, we’re about to get a Cyberpunk community on Fediverse soon. :p

    They are really going to try to bully players of the game cyberpunk? The game which themes revolves around going out in a blaze of glory and fuck corpos. If nothing else marked the end of reddit this sure as hell does.

    I love how Reddit is just coming right out and saying it, they think their users are total dumbshits who can’t read or observe anything that’s going on.

      That’s just obvious pretense though. They can’t simply say “we want you to shut the fuck up with those protests and return to business as usual”, so they say “the improper use of the NSFW flair is confusing for the users, stop misapplying it for them, totally not because we are annoyed with your protest”

        Honest communication hasn’t ever been the strong point of Reddit staff but they’re really taking it to new lows lately.

        It started with “those third party apps are using up all our internets” as a mask for “the API was free because your content was borderline worthless but now we can sell it to AI companies” and the smell of bullshit has only grown stronger.

    I wonder if /r/lowSodiumCyberpunk will make the move as well. Or maybe the great schism will finally end and they’ll merge users again.

    stupid question: is there a way to comment/login in kbin threads with my lemmy account? Reading a bit online it seems they should both be operable with a single account, but not sure how

      Yes. As long as the kbin instance you want to interact with isn’t de-federated from the Lemmy instance where your account exists then you should have no problem and be able to interact with kbin content on that instance seamlessly the same way you would interact with Lemmy content.

        Thanks!

        A couple of questions if its not too much bother. Looking at OP link:

        https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/144077

        1. How to know if the instance is defederated?

        Also when clicking, I land in kbin (duh), which of course does not know my login credentials, therefore I am not able to comment. So:

        1. How to access the post from Lemmy?

          The direct links to the kbin instance aren’t really handled properly across federation yet but kbin.social is not de-federated from Lemmy.world

          I’m not sure if you’re accessing Lemmy from a web browser or an app but if you search for “redditmigration”, for example, (from your home Lemmy instance) you should see the corresponding kbin.social “magazine” (essentially equivalent to a Lemmy “community”) and be able to click into it and interact with the topic you linked…

          I believe this would be the one for that specific topic for users registered on Lemmy.world

          The way federation works is that the content (to include comments and votes) is regularly copied back and forth between federated instances so there’s no need to have an account on whichever instance the content you want to interact with was originally created on.

          The catch is that this copying back and forth doesn’t happen automatically. It requires that at least one user seek out that “community” or “magazine” from their “home instance” and subscribe to it. Afterwards all of the posts, comments, and votes from that community or magazine on whatever federated instances will begin being synchronized between the two whenever changes occur.

          So, you’re essentially interacting with the copy on your home instance directly which is then synced to the instance where the content originated and the users on that instance can interact back with you in the same way from their home instance.

          Hopefully that makes sense or someone else comes along to ELI5 it better.

    From a quick skim through the thread there is not one mention of lemmy. The OP only talks about going to /r/lowsodiumcyberpunk but not leaving the platform entirely.

      Someone has mentioned it now, and also a link to a cp77 lemmy community.

      The OP mentions that the sub is their community and as such they are basically going down with it. They have no interest in modding for another community but will gladly participate in it.

      I’ve also noticed this and I think its sad… but that just means that other people have to post content to lemmy to attract cp77 fans and start growing the community.

          I recently bought it on sale. GTX 1060 6gb renders 50-60 fps (lowest settings) with some drops in crowded areas. It has never crashed, and never had any major bug. Game is stored on ssd, but I doubt it would run this smoothly on hdd Overally 100% playable on PC

            Yeah it’s the reverse of what usually happens. Instead of a shitty PC port, they had a shitty console port

    And I was planning on getting the game when the expansion comes out. I’m glad to see the community is holding strong against the very thing their game is about.

      It’s a totally SFW game, too, so I honestly don’t understand the point the mods are trying to make here though. The first time my V (sorry if the spoiler tag doesn’t work properly I’m confused about where I actually type my spoiler)

      ___hired a prostitute and had graphic sex with them

      I thought, “ah yes, what a wholesome family oriented game. I think I’ll invite my grandma over to play with me.”

        Don’t forget how

        spoiler

        The first mission in the city is fighting a bunch of organ harvesters and saving a naked lady. And then later on, a guy selling snuff porn VR can trick you into being captured by those same harvesters. So you escape and get your stuff, but not before your boobs and/or junk flops all over the place.


        Honestly it’s probably easier to list the stuff that isn’t NSFW from some perspective than otherwise.

      I have been sceptical after the disastrous launch but recently grabbed it myself during a sale, and I can really recommend it now. It still isn’t 100% perfect, but it is an enjoyable experience and great storyline, not to mention the amazing setting and visuals. It isn’t all that was promised before launch, but a complete and largely bug free experience.

        When the dlc releases everyone gets a free large update that reworks a lot of stuff.

        It’ll be closer to what was promised in a few months

        Honestly even at launch the game was a blast. it needed a lot more polish and Q&A no doubt, but the core experience was there. And sometimes the glitches were half the fun.

          One of the problems was that most people played on the PS4 as ps5s were scarce. I played it on release on a PS5 and it wasn’t a problem. Didn’t see many bugs at all.

          Yeah it didn’t live up to the unrealistic hype (like every NPC on screen would have a routine and schedule for their day, etc) and the bugs were pretty obvious, but I still had a blast playing it at launch.

          I’ll probably wait a couple of years and then play it through again with the dlc so it feels a bit more fresh.

    The transparent astroturfing is pretty wild to see.

    Not that they’re doing it.

    Just that they suck so much at it.
