  • I’d counter that point though, and say ‘then you should be/stay on topic’ and not forking the discussion into other topics. It’s certainly not difficult to create a new topic about a related discussion, and if it interests the original posters then yay, they might join in, but either way you aren’t cluttering up the original discussion.

    I see forums as more… professional? Whereas layouts like we have here are much more ‘lol memes’. The two types serve two different users.

    I spent a good chunk of my teen years on forums and it was definitely a direct, ‘here is A Thing and I want to discuss A Thing’ conversations. Lemmy/reddit comments are like ‘I have this one thought of a kinda-tangible idea for A Thing 2’ and it’s just… It’s not ‘bad’, but it’s most definitely scatterbrain thoughts, just shared for other wandering thoughts to collide. Scribbled brainstorming vs careful planning, I guess? I dunno.

    Maybe I’m just old. Blah.


  • If only we had a system where anyone could report anyone… Maybe have a link that says ‘report’… And we could have it on every topic, and every reply, so it would be easy to do… And after a number of reports by users of sufficient account age and in good standing, the reported comment would be moved to a quarantine so if the admins are unavailable, the forum can operate on autopilot to keep the users safe…

    Ah well, nobody would ever implement that wild idea… sigh










  • Esports/mlg. I actually wanted to explore video gaming as a competitive career as a kid, throughout my teens and a bit beyond. Disability and near-death struck at 21 and dashed that, though. I still play rather well for racing games, but fps I struggle competitively due to partial blindness and loss of the use of my right hand. I use an ambidextrous Logitech G903, using both sets of side buttons (both left and right side), if you’re wondering; all critical functions and movements go on the mouse, with secondary (like map, equip/use, toss item, inventory/hotbar…) remaining on the keyboard.

    Also, while not a sport…

    Spoiler

    I also looked into being a ‘working guy’. My sex drive has always been -really- high, and that stupid saying ‘find something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life’… well, I definitely love pleasing people. Nearly all my relationships failed because of, or directly linked to, my unquenchable needs (it’s not my fault you are studying for a full load of courses and I’ve been at it for 4 hours, okay?), so…
