Any stock class players in the house yet?

I wish! He hasn’t answered anything but softball questions I can only assume were posted by his mom and secretary.

He may not get the most downvoted comment in reddit history. But Spez is likely to end up with the most brutal AMA in history...

"Thank you for all the years of hardwork single handedly creating the greatest platform and gracing us with your presence here today. With regards to the api changes and third party apps, I was just wondering if you had started the process of going and fucking yourself? you greedy little pigboy." -u/OoooThatsTheSpot

Facebook is big in paintball circles. As much as I hate to say it their format works exceedingly well for organizing and buying/selling. As long as we censor appropriately it's arguably the best format we've had thus far and I'm not sure anyone would be willing to part with it for a new platform.

 

Are we able to participate in Mastodon and Kbin communities as well?

I brought !paintball@midwest.social over, although I'm not expecting a large turnout. While they are participating in the blackout, I don't know that many will seek an alternative and will probably just want to play more...

In the interest of fairness, isn't the difference between TenCent and the Chinese government basically just paperwork? I've always heard (anecdotally) that they work extremely close with the CCP.

Reddit confirmed for being into gaping Jesus.

I don't think this is the death of Reddit, but I do think it's the dumbing down of Reddit. A lot of the power users that spend all day interacting and posting are going to be the ones leaving. Reddit will turn from a social community back into a simple link aggregator with people posting articles and having the same discussions over and over again in the comments.

I know he said he wasn't interested in going into competition against Reddit. But Apollo repurposed as a Lemmy client would be cash and i would ABSOLUTELY keep my sub going for it.

Yeah I should have been clearer, it would have been more accurate to say I blame cryptobros.

Like that Hyundai concept? That thing was rad. I'd drive the hell out of an EV that looks like an AE86.

 

Not sure if this is on your map yet, but my login for midwest.social just disappeared off the app for me.

 

While everything's getting up and running we don't have some of the niceties we did on r/Paintball. If you want, take a moment to introduce yourself and tell us some relevant info; what style you play, where you play... things of that nature.

I'm primarily a scenario and woodsball player based out of Nebraska and play on a scenario team based in Kansas City. Right now I run mostly my Macdev XTS, and EMEK and my EMF100 for first strike capability but I'm currently working on a Mozak Southpaw cockerpump.

 

Is Lemmy dark mode by default? What a power move.
