I've lost count of the amount of posts and comment threads on here about "all the horrible ads and spyware" where the solution was to flip literally a single switch in Settings, Personalization.

ttrpg.network is a whole instance for discussing tabletop rpgs
I vaguely remember Sarge commanding the team to put someone down who was perfectly fine, "there's no saving the poor bastard". Could go well with Janeway and Tuvix.
I'm sorry, what about their comment made you think they were asking for reccomendations?
This sort of thinking only serves to allow people to delude themselves into thinking that they are not victim to the same things as everyone else.
No one is immune to these cognitive biases. There are aspects of it effectively hardcoded into the human brain structure.
Studies have shown that being aware you're watching an advertisement does not negatively impact its effect on the viewer.
Put short:
So... blocking an instance as a user just hides the instances communities, if I'm remembering the implementation details right. It doesn't block interaction with the instances users. Stupidly misleading.
You'll still need to block the users one by one.
Man, you young folks must not have been around for E3, or all the various leaked E3 presentation builds of games over the years.
You can pull off some amazing looking stuff with just scripting the hell out of everything and only showing what you want people to see. Toss in some obviously unfinished stuff to make it all look more legit.
Gameplay "demos" that are not open to the public to mess with are just ad reel by another name.
Literally who?

The stories and information posted here are artistic works of fiction and falsehood.
Only a fool would take anything posted here as fact.
Corporations are only publicly as right or left politically as helps their profits and PR, outside of some exceptions with CEOs that overestimate their importance (see Musk).
Disney repeatedly blames right wingers for the failure of their more diverse programming, yet removed/minimized John Boyega in the Chinese releases of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. They're just one of the most obvious examples, not an exception or anything.
I did not ask you to or insinuate that you should kill yourself. Complete lie.
You stated multiple times that you wanted to shoot him because he used the excuse that "it's just a game". That's a thin distinction at best.
You also use a separate account for your normal posting than your admin account, which feels needlessly sneaky.
Look, taking down the post was right call, and removing him from the mod position for arguing about it too. But the rest of this?
Telling someone that you want to injure them, then going on a multiple paragraph rant that is more about dunking on someone and venting than actually trying to inform isn't a good look for an admin.
I can't read their full responses that you deleted, but what you quoted from them reads like the kind of scared "stop yelling at me I don't understand what I did wrong please don't hit me" responses I gave to my mother while she was busy giving me reasons for therapy.
Normal users can get away with this sort of aggressive behavior because they don't have a position of power, but you do. You are inherently setting the example of what you want from your users and it's not a good look from the outside.
Now let's see if this criticism gets me banned too... hope not.
For a bit more context than "really old": I had an Intel Core 2 Duo in 2009.
