Despite sixteen years as an active user, Reddit is dead to me. Even the subreddits I miss because there aren’t as active related communities here (yet) aren’t worth using that fucking app.

Did this man do a signing press release with a fucking lightsaber?
Small ones with 100% uptime and a handful of users who don’t interact with each other.
Us Vols fans have already been pretending the Pruitt years never happened, so this is nice.
Titan up! Hopkins gives me a little more hope for the offense.
I read too quickly. Sorry. Why are you looking for an instance, though? You get the data either way, right?
As a Titans fan:
YES!!!
As a Titans fan who has watched them sign Randy Moss, Robert Woods, Julio Jones, Eric Decker, and basically one veteran WR a year since Yancy Thigpen… my gambler’s fallacy is tingling.
There are a ton of them. Just a few examples for soccer:
!football@lemmy.ml !football@lemmy.world !manunuted@lemmy.ml !gunners@lemmy.world !reddevils@lemmy.world
For American football:
!nfl@lemmy.world !nfl@lemmy.ml !cfb@lemmy.world !cfb@fanaticus.social
There are specific communities for like every team’s fandom and every sport.

I don’t know man, I was just using a Star Wars quote for shits and giggles.
Meh. From my antitrust course in law school (which was admittedly a long time ago), nothing about this screams antitrust. I don’t see that this deal gives Microsoft monopoly power over any defined market, and Microsoft definitely hasn’t flexed any existing monopoly power over the gaming space.
Certainly Microsoft has a history of anticompetitive action and flouting monopoly power whenever it has the chance in a sector. But I don’t see this deal as giving Microsoft a vertical or horizontal monopoly. It’s just typical consolidation within the industry. It’s not for consumers, but it isn’t the result of illegal price fixing type arrangements between competitors or using an existing dominant market share to overpower the market. That isn’t illegal. That’s just a shitty industry with shitty practices.
The best argument against allowing the deal to close, under US law, is likely targeted towards the cloud and subscription models. Microsoft really does seem to have a huge edge there. But I’m not sure anyone in the industry (except Epic Games) wants to challenge the subscription practices on another player’s hardware.
Tell me we’re Gen X without telling me we’re Gen X.
