I'm conflicted about this. Given how much information is locked into Reddit communities, if everyone purged their accounts we'd lose an immense amount of useful knowledge. On the other hand, that is exactly how to hit Reddit where it hurts.

I feel like living in such a town would be very depressing.
My understanding is that any service that uses ActivityPub can see everything from every other service, unless the developers choose not to show it. As for whether Lemmy's developers choose to show stuff from Mastodon, I'm not really sure.
I'm quite certain there are already people planning to do just that.
I didn't know this was a niche I'd be interested in. Thanks for sharing!
Considering how expanding images on KBin is pretty inelegant at this point, I also appreciate you transcribing the meme so I don't have to open it.
It makes celebrities seem even more disconnected and artificial than they already do, and it makes me bitter that they're using their name recognition to enrich themselves at the expense of genuine authors themselves, including the ghostwriters. I so badly wish we lived in an actual meritocracy, where being already rich or famous basically guarantees the ability to get even moreso.
I sure can!
The Neopets Team rolled up their sleeves and set out to foundationally transform the project into something entirely different by bringing on additional designers, developers, and writers to help craft a game that the Neopian community would embrace. Most recently, the decision was made to transition to a mobile app and rebuild from the ground up as World of Neopets, a social life-simulation game in which you live your ideal Neopian life from the perspective of a Neopet! Decorate your Neohome, explore iconic Neopian lands in 3D, discover secret treasures and knowledge, or play mini-games while you party with your Neofriends — all while you interact and quest with a collection of your favourite Neopian characters!
Uh. I'm not sure this sounds very good, actually...
There is absolutely no legitimate reason why emulation should be morally wrong, as it has been proven many times not to significantly impact sales. However, it makes some rich people and their working-class simps very mad, so I guess our hands are tied.
I don't know if difficult is the word I'd use, but I couldn't stand Pikmin 3, and I imagine I couldn't stand Pikmin 1 either, because of the time limits. I want to be able to take my time, strategize, and explore at my own pace. It ruins the fun to know that I only have 30 days, or that I'll lose if I don't collect X amount of fruit per day.
Pikmin 2 is so far the best game in the series, in my opinion. If I want to spend three days building up my Pikmin army and stockpiling the sprays, I can do it without worry that I'm running behind now. I don't need to rush through the game, and can take it at my own pace.
If only there were a mod for Pikmin 3 that removes the juice mechanic, or gives unlimited juice from the start.
I don't really know the details of how they would translate from app to app, but I do know that ActivityPub is specifically designed to allow all of its apps to pull the same information. If an app utilizes ActivityPub, it inherently has the capability of displaying all of its components.
If anyone sees that I'm wrong on something here, please feel free to correct me.
