Now I sure know what the "F." stands for.

I cannot exclude the possibility that the recent increase in bot accounts on some instances is somewhat linked to such already engaged subterfuges. I mean, the time frame is way too coincidental.
If you can't stand a side remark and a bit of rabbithole chasing maybe you'd be more comfortable with something more rigid than the fediverse, unless you take it as a country club. And oh, a couple users frowned upon my comment henceforth you are so right and I am so doomed.
Sigh...
I did it on purpose. This post will draw attention to people both beehaw-savvy and beehaw-enthusiasts enough to appreciate the error page, which place could be better actually to educate my prejudice?
A hell of a job. I took the lazy way out and just deleted all of my contributions, and will be GDPRing whatever's left or restored in a while. New platform, new content, same mind and fingers.
Tuna-fed tiger!
Call me stubborn if you must but as long as beehaw is playing the maverick part and not willing to be a full and compliant part of the fediverse I just won't raise an eyebrow. Well, not right now at least.
It's not that I'm super-informed and henceforth condemning beehaw or whatever, I just feel like transitioning from bigbroreddit to the fediverse is enough change without betting on the outsider that's whistling their own tune already.
If someone can educate me bringing some food for thought about beehaw I am willing to listen and eventually learn.
Reddit posts on lemmy via RSS, multiple clients blooming, nodes welcoming the exodus, the fediverse is thriving. Might be the one thing we can show spez some gratitude for!
Like many before me said, explore other interests. Then when you get back to gaming try moving out of your comfort zone. If roaming on open worlds has been your thing for years try switching to a neighboring genre such as battle royale or coop monster bashing for instance, or even try switching to a totally different genre like puzzles or fps. Challenge yourself to new habits and gameplays, and do not hesitate moving on to another genre if it's just not your thing.
I like the way you're thinking, I certainly lack a bit of perspective after all that pessimistic-driving reddit ruckus. Gotta shed those old habits and reflexes.
Still, the worrying proportion of users ready to renew the "feed the beast" experience raises some concern. Rejoining @timewarp here, we have to inform people and spread the good news.
