jon, to reddit in Awkwardturtle The banned 1000 sub mod Talks about the admins after Ban and got a message "let all burn to the ground"

You could do it per email address, at least on platforms where your account is tied to one. Doesn't stop it, but if you're only allowed to mod 5 communities, you'd need a lot of sock puppet emails to mod 1000+.

I would even allow as high as 25, but probably an amount that can be controlled by the instance. But we should stop these 1000+ communities controlled by one mod.

You Russians sure are a contentious people.

No, we're all about pooping right now, not farts.

Yeah it's support a platform, make that platform dependent on you, then abandon the platform. The users who remain are left with the option of abandoning the platform as well, or sit in a graveyard.

jon, to news in James Cameron reacts sub implosion: 'I'm struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself'

Oh, way dumber than the Titanic. Titanic was one of the safest ships of its era. It could withstand 4 of its watertight compartments being completely flooded and stay afloat. The issue was that they grazed the iceberg in such a way that 6 compartments ended up being compromised. Despite that, it still stayed afloat for 2 hours. Look how much crap its sister ship the Olympic went through and stayed afloat.

This stupid thing was a disaster waiting to happen.

I gotta preserve my cucumbers somehow!

A lot of people mention the waiver, which...sure, there's some assumption of the risk for diving to the bottom of the ocean. But a waiver won't exclude you from gross incompetence and negligence.

If I ran an indoor trampoline park, I may have you sign a waiver before you can use it. This makes sense, as jumping on trampolines carries with it some inherit risk of physical injury. That's a risk you have to acknowledge before you can come in. However, if you got injured because the building caught on fire, and due to my negligence I've blocked all the fire exits with flammable material, that's a bit beyond the assumption of risk covered by the waiver. I would totally be liable for any damages that result.

Did the Titan implode due to the inherit risk of deep sea exploration? Or did it implode due to a dereliction of safety precautions? (It's that one)

I think the idea that it could end up being a launch title on a Switch successor has some merit. It could explain why we've heard nothing about it for so long. I am happy it's not being rushed, at the very least. Gives some hope that the game will deliver when it finally does come out.

You know, I feel I can't be too greedy, with us having got Dread and Prime 1 remaster so recently. But at the same time...what the crap, Nintendo? Does this game even exist?

jon, to nintendo in Any Metroid fans on Lemmy?

I made /m/Metroid over on kbin.social a few days ago if anyone's interested

jon, to mildlyinfuriating in Juste received this love letter from reddit's admins

Honestly, mods should just force the issue and make Reddit replace them. It's going to be a big problem if Reddit needs to find new moderators for hundreds if not thousands of subreddits. And that's assuming all the new moderators will play along and not immediately join the protest, go on a tyrannical power trip, or just go dark after a few weeks.

Why would anyone even want to be a mod right now? It's like your boss threatening to fire you from a job you're not paid for while the building is actively on fire.

Go ahead! I'd love to get a community over here running and we could use the jumpstart

Hell, just coming out with a statement that you're delaying the paid API by six months would fizzle out most protests. But they have dollar signs in their eyes with ChatGPT using Reddit for data and they want that money now.

The OST from Persona 5, easily my most listened to soundtrack.
