You remind of people playing Deep Rock Galactic for the first time. When you 'die' one of your teammates has to come and get you up and with a lot of new people apologize profusely for getting downed as if they're scared that I'll yell at them or something. It's like they have PTSD from toxic experiences on other online games.
It really sucks to see that, but it's also really cool when they realize it's okay that they died and they can finally start just enjoying the game.
I fart in your general direction, your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!
Really though, I was part of two private subs that were invite only. The smaller community and how users were "recruited" made a huge difference. I could post things there that I wouldn't on public forums, mostly because of the increased anonymity, but also because there wouldn't be any nastiness.
I love it. I love how I don't usually have to deal with "right-wing" extremists. They're usually contained to lemmy.grab, but I suppose one or two might break containment every now and then.
Still, a hell of lot better then seeing their bullshit as the first comment on a new post. :|
The largest issue for me is that I've never watched an ad and thought "I need that". It's just a huge waste of time that I find disrespectful and distasteful.
That being said I haven't watched and ad in years. A bit less then a decade now, actually.

Same. I really loved the first two Diablos, but I wouldn't touch the new one because of it. I'll just wait a decade or so and emulate it.
That is awful. What are their reasons for that?
Now we have infinite fake internet points.

I've had good experiences with Odysee. Not as much content yet, and it's missing DIY videos, but I don't see problems yet.

Oh shoot, you're right. :(
There's a guy in my city that purposely got arrested so he could challenge the criminalization of drugs as unconstitutional.
What sort of content do you want? I'm fine with what's her right now, but I'm more about discussion and knowledge.
It used too. They killed it though, purposefully. That's around the time I stopped going on reddit with my phone... funny thing that.
NoScript (a Firefox extension) seems to have disabled the paywall for me. Might have been origin too, but I doubt it.
NO paywall here, firefox on desktop + NoScript and origin. Probably NoScript blacking the paywall.
