- cdda.social, for the survival horror roguelike Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead
- bookwormstory.social, for the anime/manga/LN Ascendance of a Bookworm
- lemmy.dbzer0.com, not strictly topic focused, but an instance run by the former head mod of r/piracy, so focused on their interests

Yeah, I was wondering if they were a bot or something at first. I guess they're just making sure their interests are covered. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There's also Community Discoveries:
It'd be another method to drive traffic to their websites and gain more ad revenue. Same as maintaining a presence on twitter or facebook, or providing an RSS feed.
I don't get particularly annoyed at it, but it does come up a lot: the idea that social anxiety and introversion are the same thing. While I do need a certain amount of "me time", I'm primarily an extrovert. However, when I talk about social anxiety, people almost always assume that I'm an introvert.
I tend to prefer gatherings with small groups of friends, or events in familiar environments in order to get my fill of "people time" without triggering my anxiety too badly. I also enjoy meeting and talking to new people, even though it's a bit nerve-wracking.
There are valid reasons to be for the merger, and valid reasons to be against it. However, the argument has been posted quite visibly for anyone that cares about it, and the appeal has been made to the lemmy.world admin. The admin will decide what to do, and that should be the end of it.
What we really do not need is a swarm of cranks coming out of the woodwork to Correct The Record™ every time someone makes mention of the event without putting the "proper" spin on it. It is not some grave injustice. If you don't like the outcome, then join one of the other existing android communities instead of participating in the merger. Or create your own, so that you can run it how you want. And then get on with your life.

Here's mine: https://github.com/chrisacheson/crnstc
It's intended to be a "traditional" (neotraditional?) roguelike with a cyberpunk setting. Both the world and the UI are in 3d, which isn't something I've really seen done before. Usually it's either one or the other, like CataclysmDDA having a 3d world rendered in 2d slices, or Jupiter Hell having a 2d world with 2.5d graphics. I figured for a cyberpunk setting, being able to visualize the cityscape is important for the feel of it.
So far it's very much just in an "early tech demo" state. I've implemented basic randomly generated terrain and player movement. I was working on adding line of sight (which gets a lot more complicated in 3d), but ended up getting distracted by the reddit protests and migration to the fediverse. I'll get back to it eventually.
If you want to compile it, you'll actually need Nim 2.0. The .nimble file doesn't currently reflect that.
Edit2: Images attached to comments on kbin don't seem to get copied over to lemmy. Trying this:
