Well said. Aesthetics are another important factor for me, one of the reasons I would not consider a platform such as Squabbles for example. Meanwhile, others are gushing at the prospect of having a ‘new Reddit’ UI experience.
Your last line is what I am trying to establish here, however I have noticed hostility from Lemmy supporters. This is what I mean with ‘as kbin users we should prevent this’. Such bad faith posting should be deflated or best nipped in the bud.
The points regarding kbin’s present state I do understand, but in that case I think it’s a matter of managing expectations for new users.
I agree on this, too. Kbin is a weird name for masses to adapt, for example. We're back in the Wild West regarding this form of social media, and the result of that will hopefully be innovation and reiteration of established standards.
Hard agree on the American soft power, too. I was surprised there were so many German instances on the fediverse already. I don't really want to interact with Dutch posts though, so if those pop up that's a hard filter from me.
With eyes on the future of the fediverse, I would prefer not ending up with another Facebook-like situation where 'one place' is the 'default' place - where the 'default' place is run by people less trustworthy than Mark Zuckerberg.
Reddit made sense. 'Read it'. Digg? I 'dig' that. 'Lemmy' look at the meme. Even TikTok is a decent name for a social media platform.
Most folks here are tech savvy and don't mind the kbin name, but I don't expect some of my friends to 'get' it. Which is not inherently a bad thing, because it also prevents engagement from certain types of user who are looking for the next place to spam.
I am Dutch, and I personally loathe Dutch content. Seeing the inane 'gekoloniseerd' spam any time anything Dutch was mentioned grew tiresome quickly. Add to that that a lot of posted content centers around Randstad issues, this vague sense of holier-than-thou dialogue, and I felt even less compelled to interact with Dutch online spaces. I may be a bit jaded - but Holland is not the Netherlands.
I can read Swedish, French, and German - and those occasionally visible spaces, apart from the meme-focused instances, seem far more mature and focused in their conversations.
It honestly depends (imo) what you expect a Final Fantasy game to be, maybe you could elaborate?
If you want an Old school rpg? Go for the pixel remasters on pc, or emulate. 1 and 2 are fairly open and unguided for example, but do establish some tropes and recurring themes.
Once you hit 3D era games the gameplay also changes with it. Some are more action based, others are more traditional.
The story however will always be a big part, with interesting takes on how to save a world. Some people find it convoluted however.

There are a lot of communities that were created in the last week but never had any kind of interaction or their mods never started to post to attract people (they don’t even have rules or a description)....
I've made a few magazines on kbin to protect from being taken by worse people than myself... I've also added a note in the sidebar/info that I have no intention of remaining moderator, and anyone who wants to take over (preferably with roots in the community elsewhere) can message me.
I have made an attempt at populating them, they’re not necessarily empty. There are reasons to scroll past entries other than content, i.e. the instance they’re on. Plenty of people ignore certain domains altogether.

As a 'moderate' fan of tactical jrpgs the Disgaea series has always both intrigued and scared me at the same time. Intrigued because of the grind, as you can famously get up to level 9999 (many would say it's a bad thing but I'm weird so I like it), and scared because of how complicated it looked as an outsider to the series....
I adore Disgaea. I played it on a hacked psp back in the day, and just fell in love with its style and charm. I got it on pc legitimately some years ago, and then got the ps4 hd version to play on the sofa. While the grind is not for everyone, it’s an amazing journey for those who enjoy tactical games (that don’t take themselves too seriously).
I haven’t started its sequels, but I want to finish this hd version first. Until then, they’ll be looking at me from the ps plus catalogue.
My cooking doesn't look bad... But it will never live up to the food presentation I have experienced when visiting Japan. Everything just looks SO delicious.
I had a few hangover days, so I finally got back to #miniaturepainting and finished a few projects. First up a #warhammer40k predator tank, that I desperately needed to get done for some scheduled matches (and he did good in all 3 games, no new model syndrome!).
Next up: Some new darksouls x turnip brutes.
OC Kbin, FUD, and Tribalism - Where do we go from here?
It finally happened: many Reddit 3rd party apps have officially shut down. With it comes an influx of users looking for a new place....
Where to start with final fantasy?
I’m thinking about picking some up in the summer sale but have no idea where to start with them. Any suggestions?
Showing off some of the themes for Artemis (coming soon) (tech.lgbt)
