Shittiest sarcasm I've seen today...

Edit: wow, looking at his post history this wasn't even an attempt on sarcasm, what a sensible way to assert your "pro life" beliefs

For me its r/writingprompts and r/askhistorians, those are the only 2 subs that seem difficult to replicate which I frequently visited.

The second because of the obvios expertise needed and extreme draconian moderation, unless the team moves it will be stuck at reddit.

As for writingprompts, I saw a community here but it's pretty much dead from 2 years ago (I think it even has 0 moderators) I kind of thought there would be a big problem which is that it needs a big mass of users for the idea to even work (since even with 15+ million subs the average prompt would get 2 or so submissions), the sub took a lot of effort not only from the mods but also from the community to work as well as it did. I really wish I could see it working but I admit I don't want to go through the trouble of setting this one up (For example, I have 0 clue on copyright systems, I do remember there was something about copyright in r/writingprompts since a few actual books came from posts over there, I have no clue how this stuff works over lemmy posted content or if there needs to ve a statement on this matter. Copyright may not even be important to start this kind of community but the fact I got so hung up on it shows it's a bit complicated to just try to copy what the "finished product" over at reddit right now looks like

It really isn't, at least in the way the term is used. For example, would you describe the feeling you get after snorting cocaine as a "health benefit" just because you feel better momentarily???

Most probably, but there is always the possibility of people either being underage, stupid or unaware due to upbringing (imagine being told your whole life something is in a particular way, it isnt unreasonable not to doubt that) and I prefer to engage honestly with people even if I look like an idiot, just in case.

Of course when clear bad faith is shown I will just not engage, or call it out, but in

I love this response, dont worry about length this is in part what I was looking for. Sorry for not replying earlier I have not been near my pc for a few days and replying on my phone is a pain since I'm clumsy and often delete long responses by accident. PD: I have really been enjoying the Cynic Clinic youtube channel.

Having said that, I think a better question would have been "what is a review", my problem mainly is that I have trouble grasping the term and its usage in each page. To clarify, If I want to recommend something I call it a recommendation and media essays are essays, you focus on whatever caught your attention as long as you are able to convey it in an interesting or thought provoking way, what I thought at the beginning of what reviews where was a general thought about the work exclusively intended for people that have already engaged with the work. My doubt has come from two places, first steam calls the "reviews" section to something that is clearly recommendations, it is extremely clear you are supposed to recommend over there, not include spoilers and generally point it towards someone interested in buying, so reviews over there arent really reviews.

Then comes Anilist, I have been using that site a lot more in the recent years for tracking purposes and I thought it would be great to engage with it a bit more towards people there since I dont usually talk about anime or manga too much irl , I saw the "review" section over the front page on each manga and usually its left empty, so I proposed to myself I should write a review. Here is where the conflict comes, it being so visible made me think it was for recommendations more than reviews but then again you could find proper reviews, recommendations and a mix of the two over there.

I wanted to be cautious just in case the review section is used for recommendations only as it would be pretty bad if people were using those spaces to see whether they should read a manga and they saw a full spoilers in first paragraph review...

Having said that I still havent decided whether to write a recommendation or more of an essay style review, both have their pros and cons and are interesting in their own right

If this is why people want their instances to do it that's mainly because lemmy hasn't give appropriate tools at the user level to block entire instances unlike Kbin or Mastodon. (For now you can kind of block seeing them with apps like connect for lemmy, but someone from that instance would still be able to see and repply to your comments, or send you DMs)

As to why a user would want to block an instance and not just particular communities, there are many use cases, for example I didn't want to bñur NSFW images but I didn't want to see my frontpage filled with porn, so instead of blocking 10000 communities I just blocked 2 nsfw instances. There is also the culture fostered inside some communities that can lead them to become filled with alt right people or openly facistic rcho chamber which often harrass people, especially minorities.

I agree completely this request is dumb, but this doesn't look like the community to have this discussion.

Hope this turns out well, I greatly enjoyed the 10th dentist sub on reddit since I felt it actually mangaged to make "upvote things you disagree/don't do, and downvote those that you do" as opposed to the extremely popular vailidation seeking posts over at unpopular opinion

"so I can still get the health benefits from it"

Seriously, you aren't getting healt benefits. You might feel better but that is the nicotine, it's a psychological effect not something that is improving your physical health in any discernable way.

Just understand, people don't smoke because it's good for their bodies, people smoke because it feels good, it's an important distinction.

I wonder if this is the community for this kind of petition, especially since the petition is instance specific and not about this community in particular.

I also didn't expect to like it as much, but I really ended up licking the character design (on chapter one I didn't really like the tomboyish look but after a while I got into the "coolness" of it all)

The protagonist personality and weird unpredictable shifts from goofy to a menace in expression is also endearing

I forgot to add Roborecall!!??

This might feel like a "demo game" to some people, also it's from 2016~ which is an era that didn't produce that many diverse and interesting vr titles, but this one feels really good.

It's an arcade shooter where robots have gone crazy and you have to kill them, the action and combat is fast, you can grab and dismantle robots in melee. One thing though is that like many of the games of that era, this game is teleportation movement based (like half life alyx when you play on the default mode) which is a bit annoying, at least for me.

You can always connect your quest to pc right? (Hope OP has a good computer to do that, haven't checked the quest 2 but I remember how much worse roborecall looked on quest 1)
