I’m pretty sure they can afford it. But I’d be happy for the tag system to continue being meaningless if they would just hoist genre out into a separate system curated only by Valve.

Yes, they can afford to ensure the quality of their systems.

The tag system has been so badly abused that you can’t do this without collateral damage though. It’s not fit for purpose. I have mixed feelings about Valve curating games… but I think they should absolutely curate the tags.

Remove them!

I spend enough time playing whack-a-mole on my various platforms now that I might as well call it a hobby.

I don’t want to see any Reddit communities. Anything worth emulating there died 10 or more years ago. I’d rather we came up with our own original communities with actual standards.

IMO the worst Reddit communities are the ones themed around other Reddit communities and posts. Best of XYZ, XYZ updates, XYZ drama, etc. They are designed to generate shit-tier rage commentary and they get reposted relentlessly. I miss the days when reposters would get attacked in the comments and mass downvoted.

You can’t get ye flask.

Part of the issue IMO is that so many of our Lemmy communities are just copies of subreddits. The bot creators see a subreddit shaped hole so of course they want to fuck it. Having communities with new original themes might help deter the bots, and the natural content might be more interesting too!

That was a fun read! RE2 was my first exposure to the concept of zombies when I was a child and it scared the crap out of me… good times!

The best thing about Lumo is that it isn’t integrated with their core services. I hate seeing ✨bullshit everywhere.

Spotify is such a shit company. I used to get paid (peanuts) on my artist account but they raised the threshold for getting payouts so now I get nothing.

Reddit is the toilet of the internet.

Yeah, wouldn’t “by a software engineer” be a more relevant flex?
