Literally in line with what the AI said. The moderation is about beliefs and retaining control, not moderating diverse viewpoints with discussion. Hence the hive mind.

Being fair, depending of the article, Wikipedia articles are also heavily influenceable.

[benji]

For a forum that likes saying things like "just be a decent human being" or "it's easy to just not be terrible" and banning people for "dismissing concerns" they sure do like telling you what concerns you're allowed to have or not depending on if hypothetical Nazis and Nazi-adjacents (including "social fascists", liberals and white women) hypothetically have them.

Yes, it's a constant battle of the fallacies of our brain. But at least there's great content when it's more viewed.

Uh, it doesn't have to. Try that on Wikipedia or contributing to open source software.  You know, actual peer review and moderation.

Way too many corporate apologists, among other things, for this site to be considered far-left.

Does that include the people/admins/mods who cape for the shady Swedish crypto bros that own Resetera?

The corporate apologists is a conflicting viewpoint they have. Like end stage capitalism...but also Apple totally owns your phone and can fee whatever they want yay apple.

"HE is the reason for the season"
"Apple should control THEIR hardware"

Same energy

Half these people don't know what antitrust is but also down with capitalism or something

It's Bill Ackman who's been leading the charge for Gay to resign. He isn't conservative or Republican for that matter so that makes for a bizarre right-wing conspiracy.

[Boredfrom]

to be very honest, it does leave a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth that gacha earnings more or less was what turned this entire thing around, but it's also not a surprise lol

i agree with the sentiment that they needed a fall guy for this, and had China been in a better economic situation they'd have muscled through and told the games industry to suck it up, but as it is can't afford one of their big earners to falter right now

This is where I come at it. They got a fall guy for this backfire, even though regulations on Gacha and GaaS is needed, they are unable to do much now with such a tenuous economy.

It's state capitalism so they can't fuck with it too hard when the capitalism side of their state is falling apart.

The reason is falling apart is that the autocratic communist part of China has taken priority because they want to keep control of the state. The dude that actually lives in China has said the Gacha said was not the only thing they wanted to regulate, but keep bitching about Genshin.

(Btw, does Booshka ever posts in Gaming side. Suddenly he is concerned about gacha and GAAS)

I don't think he ever posted there at all so it's bizarre to see him posting in them.

https://www.resetera.com/threads/need-advice-my-partner-is-at-best-lying-to-me-and-at-worst-having-an-affair.801387/

I am posting this because I am not sure what to do - I am in a bit of a panic.

Some background: my partner and I have been having some marital issues the past six months. Through this time, they have become emotionally distanced from me, and eventually have asked for a separation (which we have not yet gone through yet, as we are going to try counselling first - my partner agreed to this). For the past little while, my partner will go out in the evenings to spend time with various friends (leaving me at home with the kids in bed). I know that one of the friends she has been interested in is a particular person who is single and my partner has admitted to being attracted to. My partner knows I have a sensitivity to them hanging out. In fact, this led to one moment over the summer my partner asked to hang out with this person, and I was open about how it made me uncomfortable. After that, my partner said they would not 'seek out' hanging with this other person again.

Fast-forward to tonight: I've been out of town. My kids are at my in-laws and my partner said that they would sleep at their parents in case I had covid (I am showing mild symptoms). As I am driving into town (my in-laws' house is on the way into town), I noticed that my partner's car is not there. On a whim (and conveniently enough, somewhat on the way to my house), I decided to drive by the person's house who we agreed my partner would not hang out with, to respect my sensitivities.

Well, my partner's car was parked out front.

This fucking sucks. I was trying and hoping so hard that we could make our marriage work, and now I feel completely betrayed. I understand that at best, my partner is just being dishonest about hanging out with this other person... but my head keeps going to the worst.

I am posting this as I don't know what to do. I don't know who to trust.

Do I message my partner's best friend (whom I know my partner confides everything in) and ask what's going on?

Do I message my partner RIGHT NOW and call them out on seeing their car there?

Do I wait and hire a lawyer (even more silly: do I take a picture of the car out in front)?

I know this sounds so desperate and dramatic and probably stupid, but I am just in a panic and don't know what to do. I want to protect myself, but at the same time - I am going to have to confront my partner.

Any advice is welcome... :(

Steven Yeun will not be suiting up for Thunderbolts, the antihero-centric feature in the works from Marvel Studios, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Yeun’s involvement in Thunderbolts was first reported back in February, though Marvel never officially announced the casting. Five months earlier, during a D23 presentation, the studio revealed Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour and Wyatt Russell were among the Marvel mainstays who would be in the film.

Trans genocide thread has been unpinned.

several theories:

palestine conflict puts into sharp contrast what more people would define as a genocide (i.e., actual people dying) and this finally became super embarrassing by comparison...how can you talk about the palestine genocide and the trans genocide in the same breath without getting laughed at

however, it's odd that this lines up with the "our consoles are being made by slave labor" thread also being taken down

why would the mods, including nepenthe, suddenly sign off on shoving these causes aside, delegitimizing them and tacitly admitting the activism is over?

so, other theory: MOBA wants the site to be known for gaming instead of far leftism and doesn't think such threads being pinned are welcoming for potential new users (i.e. they're openly insane declarations of Causes You Must Support and red flags to all sane people)



really wish someone would ask why these threads were taken down simultaneously in constructive
