Someone can hate Windows for their own purposes while still acknowledging that it may be the ideal OS for the average consumer

I think the phrasing isn’t the best. I think he needs an “is what” before “hurts children” in the first paragraph.

I used Backlogery, but Backloggd seems to be more popular nowadays. That forum discussion mentions a few others, too.

If you play retro games, then you could also look into RetroAchievements, which will track more than when you simply beat a game. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work for all games though.

For more modern games, you could also use Achievements to track what you beat.

As for keeping track of what games you WANT to play… it’s called buying them! Don’t buy games you don’t want to play, haha

Seriously though, you could go through your Steam library and add games you want to play to a playlist, or sell physical games you wanted to support but don’t want to play.

But for multi-platform stuff, check out the linked forum post

As long as people aren’t breaking the rules regarding hate speech

Hate speech and threats of violence are what the article is about.

So if you agree that rape threats and certain words (that constitute hate speech) are ok to ban, then you’re in agreement with the article and other people saying “People shouldn’t need to grow a thicker skin”.

Unless you’re against hate speech, but in favour of threats of violence, but I don’t think you are just because you didn’t explicitly say it, haha

You want players who are invested in winning.

Yes. Players who are invested in winning. Not players who have poor emotional regulation or social behaviour and are invested in being assholes.

It’s called sportsmanship. Yet some online games sound worse than middle school sports games… probably because, for years, nobody got punished for acting like a middle schooler who can’t control their emotions or behaviour.

As for your statement on toxicity preventing you from playing multiplayer doesn’t seem true. There are plenty of games where you will never see toxicity and you still don’t play any of them so that can’t be what’s stopping you.

I’m fascinated by how you know so much about the games I don’t play! Lol

Given the choice between an online community with assholes being moderated away and an online community without asshole moderation, I’m going to choose the one where assholes get warned, muted, and banned.

My favourite subreddit had a rule, “Be Civil”. I much preferred that sub over ones that didn’t have that rule (or one like it). Too many people don’t know how to behave in public forums, and those people make the internet a lot less pleasant. See Facebook and Instagram comments if you’d like some examples.

I don’t play many online games, except with friends exclusively, or where there is no chat (especially voice chat). If there were games that had moderated communities that banned assholes, then I’d be more likely to venture into that world…and maybe I’d even start turning on my mic.

None of those were direct successors, though

Do “i”, “mini” and “new” really count as new consoles? i and new were just upgrades to the same console, I believe, and I’m not sure what “Mini” was even for…

Ah, right, sorry. The first part of your comment makes it seem like you’re leaning the other way.

The consent is entirely missing

The worst is when they can’t even be uninstalled.

Yeah, this post smells a little like “Why is there a black history month but no white history month?” Lol

Or “Why is there an International Women’s Day but no International Men’s Day?”

Is dragging what happens before someone else slams them?

Yeah, which means that you’d be able to build up the karma you need quickly.

Someone driving a car the day before getting their first license could be a better driver than some people who’ve had theirs for years! Lol

I don’t think so, no. Sure, Reddit made these controls available to mods, but the mods can decide to use them as they see fit.

Frankly, I don’t think it’s a bad rule. For a sub that big, they need pretty strict controls before a new user can post. Otherwise, they’d get flooded with spam.

That doesn’t sound like a Reddit problem. It’s a rule set up by the mods of the sub. And imo, not a bad rule for such a large sub

And I’m not defending Reddit, which I’ve stopped using when the API changes happened, after using it for maybe a decade. Just pointing the blame in the right direction.

Lol making a mistake isn’t unique to humans. Machines make mistakes.

Congratulations for knowing that a LLM isn’t the same as a human though, I guess!

You’re definitely right!

I believe it’s a situation where the men tend to want traditional stay-at-home wives to raise their kids, but the women either want to work, or the men don’t make enough to support a stay-at-home wife and raise a kid on their single income (because it can be really expensive relative to wages).

I’ve read that there’s a lot of… misogyny/anti-feminism movement stuff going on in Korea these days.

“Less” is usually for non-countable objects, while “fewer” is for countable.

“Less slime” vs. “Fewer bees”
