There's definitely some names I recognise from the old place here already, and I think we'll see more after the 30th.

Turrican II is the one I remember most fondly (especially how you could upgrade your gun to fire plasma(?) bolts bigger than you), but James Pond 2 was great as well.

Haha, I think I just had a little rant at you there even though you were saying the same things I was saying. Bad habits... I don't think I'll be on reddit much now, hopefully enough people stay around to make this place quite active still.

It should be fine - it was busy enough before the blackout, and of course all the good apps will stop working soon, along with a bunch of essential tools for modding, etc.

So many don't understand that the mods need those tools, and don't care about people who need the accessibility (although I suspect that argument is popular more for having the moral high ground).

[they] didn’t do anything wrong I just didn’t agree with them

And that's why it's disabled! That's not what it's meant to be for, it's meant to be for things that don't add to the conversation. If it's factually wrong then fine - downvote, but don't do it to suppress others' opinions.

I think when you're communicating, it's good etiquette to make sure people can read your post easily - your five minutes could save hundreds or thousands of people time.

That said, capitalisation isn't required, as long as it's clear. I think line breaks are more important.

I do take it as a signal that the writer might be worth listening to if they've bothered to take the care to get their thoughts and fingers in order - as opposed to some stream of conscious babble that you can read multiple times and still not sure if you've understood it.

I used to use Swype and now I use Gboard and both do capitalisation and other handy things like double space to end a sentence - maybe check your settings.

I noticed one of the Lemmy instances recommending everyone change their settings to use 'hot' by default in their site rules sidebar. Makes sense, the many instances look a lot more lively that way.

It pushed a lot of people to try Lemmy/kbin/whatever which isn't nothing. It also gave Lemmy's code a thorough stress-test! When a bunch of apps stop working at the end of the month, I think we'll see another spike.
