I'm not expecting them to do anything specifically to benefit the rest of us. But let them fight. If nothing else, it costs them money.

That pawn talks a good game, but let's see if he changes his tune the moment he reaches the 8th rank and is promoted to queen.
Same here. I've never been fond of the proliferation of these "think about for a moment!" holidays. They're the main thing that comes to mind when I think of what's "performative."
Lemmy is a lot "bubblier" than Reddit, I suspect because the communities are smaller. It's a lot easier for a community to have a preferred view on things, even things you wouldn't suspect were part of the community's theme, and if you take the wrong position you'll get pummeled with downvotes more easily.
Not that it doesn't happen on Reddit too, but I see it far more here on Lemmy. I'm still active on both and while I haven't done any formal comparison you're asking how it "feels" and that's definitely how it feels. I speak my mind freely on both platforms but on this one I'm more likely to see a pile of downvotes.
Thanks! DFCaverns was kind of my "baby", and the one I keep thinking I should get back into modding to continue developing. I can't promise anything, of course, but this is of course fun and encouraging to hear. :) Making DFCaverns Mineclone-compatible was quite a chore back in the day, glad to hear it's still working!
It'll eventually be subducted, I think getting it into deep space is more likely to be long-term secure.
The main downside I can think of, is a Horcrux similar to a Lich Phylactery in that you have to reform adjacent to it?
Oh, neat. Yeah, that's me. :) Been a couple of years since I've picked up the modding pen, but I still remember those days fondly. Just got really busy with life for a while and fell out of the habit.
You don't think the publishing industry would like to sue Meta over this?
Pawns don't have a choice about their promotion, though, because they're pawns.
