First off that’s a strawman It’s not just one guy. It was thousands of advocates putting in various actions like writing letters, recording explanation videos and creating posters to name a few in bringing attention to this issue. The video is anything but cope if you had actually watched it you would know that. Second that’s disrespectful to all the efforts he has put into this. He never claimed to be the guy to “save gaming”. He has made it abundantly clear that it was always a team effort. The campaign had issues with exposure and misinformation.

If the rumor is true, this would blow the longest range ice car out of the water.
Hopefully evs will be superior in that regard as well!
I’m sure Chip Wilson’s incidents during last fall did not help its case.
Ross trying to save our games from being forever destroyed deserves a lot more than Thor hamstringing the campaign with slurs, insults and red herrings while completely missing the point of SKG.
Piratesoftware’s tomfoolery may have costed the real exposure the campaign could’ve had thus leaving us with jack results in failing to pass the initiative. All that volunteer effort made by Ross and everyone diminished because of one jerk with a large following.
It’s actually Methane!
More competition in hardware is always a good thing!
I’m glad you tried out the threadverse, as it is always worthwhile to take your destiny into your hands by setting up your own comm to discuss a topic freely. It can happen sometimes where the instance’s culture, laws and/or users conflict with the purpose of the comm, I usually take notes and set up shop elsewhere if the conditions are better. Not to mention the drama on the fediverse can really hurt as It feels more personal with all the transparency involved. You have to block and reduce contact from the problematic individuals to make things more manageable. It is a learning experience worth engaging with.
If you want to continue with Lemmy I would suggest finding a more conservative bloc of instances to be and maybe setup your own to connect with them one day. A good way to look for one is by checking Lemmy Explorer and reading the name and rules of each instance to determine which one would one would be the best fit.
Good luck in your community building journey!
The manosphere exists on Lemmy too 🙄
Hides stash of thinkpads…
It's honest work trying to bring the conversation to the threadverse!
That’s the neat thing all 3 groups are summoned at once.
Lemmy reports works like this: the report you make is sent to the moderators of the community, the admins of your home server, the admins of the server the community is hosted on and the admins of the server of the reported user.
PirateSoftware’s video was the one that had the most views on the topic. Of course it’s going to make Ross’s job harder having to fight through all that misinformation people were given.
He did “just not blame one guy” but a multitude of factors. Like that government official wasting Ross’s energy canceling the meeting with him 3 times or the fact that the UK labour government wrote a laughably bad corporate response to it.
