Fallout 4 had its missteps for sure, but it's still a pretty fun game. What about it made you quit Bethesda?

This is a lot of work if you're just trying to browse the site. Instead of spending hours blocking instances after first checking whether an instance is mostly bots (and safe to block) or if it's just a single group of bots in an otherwise fine instance in which case you block the users, a general list like OP suggested would be more useful.

Never heard of them. What did the acronym stand for?

I think it has less to do with their ideology and more to do with the fact that an instance with almost no rules usually attracts shitty people

The feed desperately needed a fix, so I'm glad they pushed it out. But agreed, they should be prioritizing methods to reduce spam and bots in the next release, even if they need to push out a relatively feature-sparse version first

Neuroscientist here. Neuropeptides always have dozens of different uses, and oxytocin is no exception. The idea that it is a "love hormone" is a simplification for the lay person.
