I was looking for something like dwarf fortress adventure mode or cataclysm dark days ahead and this is as close as I could find.

Sacrifices a lot of the smaller details of CDDA by being easier to play (not a bad trade off necessarily). You'll still die a million times in Qud though.

I actually think a lot of people are confused because they didn't read the article or know what community they're in, so I'll take the downvotes in stride.

Trans people are people too no matter which arrow you hit.

Agree with you but just want to share the definition of memes with you. Memes can be discussion points, ideas, formats, image templates, or any other vector for transporting an idea.

A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme

Image memes are just extremely easy to digest, and tend to be more enjoyable, so they're a great method for sharing ideas.

That's a good point that I hadn't considered.

I'd expect someone to raise it as a point, though, because I've seen the Nazi in a bar meme a million times but never has anyone pointed out the problematic linkage of punks and nazis.

I think it's more likely that there are bad faith trolls here already that, rather than engage in a discussion, downvote to silence views they don't like.

Why are you getting downvoted for perfectly answering the question?

Fascists already invading

Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I definitely agree. I strongly believe the best avenue of success is through removing the dollar dependence. It feels like there was some rustling when Bitcoin started to gain traction but I believe that threats been coopted by the rich.

How can I subscribe to Lenincatfacts? You have a mastodon or something?

Sorry bud, how about you start a thread and get some community feedback? Maybe your opinion is problematic or maybe the mods made a mistake.

Idk I'm not psychic

Engagement is a two way street, you need to post something worth engaging with.

Occasionally I've seen a valid opinion/idea with some downvotes but there's still usually responses that get a discussion going. Only the true shit has the massive one sided downvote ratio with, unfortunately, a few replies from people who took the bait.

You're being downvoted because you straw manned, not sure if intentionally or not.

If your solution to a problem can fit on a bumper sticker it’s wrong.

Like...really? Do you think that this community, or anyone worth talking to, thinks that it's that easy?

Since Yelp lets businesses pay to revise reviews and advertise for top results, I was wondering if there were any good open source/non-monetized review sites or apps that people have tried out? I usually compare to google reviews and read some of the top reviews to try and filter out the junk, but I know I'm still getting weighted star ratings and promoted content.

A quick search revealed https://lib.reviews/ but I didn't see a ton of content.

It'd also be great to find an alternative to the shitshow that is amazon product reviews. It would be great to find non-manipulated user opinions. Obviously every review system is going to have bad actors but it's nice when the site itself isn't the one in charge and there's some transparency.

Any recommendations or ideas for how to find feedback on stuff to buy?
