We'll let their position have some scrutiny when the PC marketplace has some actual decent competition, I'd rather not shoot the PC gaming sphere in the foot just because Lemmy hates corporations.

Its not momentum, its that the competition is garbage
Its still going after the LEAST shitty company and expecting your life to get better when the competition is FAR WORSE
Pretty sure social norms are better now than they were back when Luddites got their name associated with being against technological progress
Yeah, but the dot com bubble didnt kill the internet entirely, and the video game bubble that prompted nintendo to create its own quality seal of approval didnt kill video games entirely. This fad, when it dies, already has useful applications and when the bubble pops, those applications will survive
So, do textiles machines not exist anymore? It doesnt sound like them burning down factories stopped the textile factories in the long run
How does using free software to play dress up with anime characters bankrupt me financially?
Which is why the term Luddite has never been more accurate than since it first started getting associated with being behind on technological progress
For me its the growing extremist stances and ragebait articles, now that its got more users, the horrendous lack of moderation is starting to show
I fail to see what part of my comment is optimistic? xD
Yeah, I know, thats why I'm finding lemmy not for me. This new rage bait every week is tiring and not adding anything to my life except stress, and once I started looking at who the moderaters were when Lemmy'd find a new thing to rave about, I found that often there was 1-3 actual moderators, which, fuck that. With reddit, the shit subs were the exception, here it feels like they ALL (FEEL being a key word here) have a tendency to dive face first into rage bait
Edit: Most of the reddit migration happened because Reddit fucked over their moderators, a lot of us were happy with well moderated discussions, and if we didnt care to have moderators, we could have just stayed with reddit after the moderators were pushed away
Its more we're defending against Steams competition and dont want to see them gain any ground (Except itch and GoG, they're cool)
