Which means lemmy is now my main go-to lol

 

Back in the good old days of gaming of 2011, back when BioWare was blowing people's minds with the Mass Effect trilogy, they had community forums. A place where fans of Dragon Age and Mass Effect could gather and speculate about what happens next. Or, pester the developers for whatever romance they believed should be in the next game.

And then, after the release of Mass Effect 3, they promptly erased their forums and moved all discussions to Twitter. This effectively silenced many discussions, because by nature, Twitter is an algorithmic beast that prioritizes only certain things.

With the collapse of web2, Twitter especially, I wonder if they might bring those forums back.

BioWare, if you're reading this, bring back the forums!

I moved to Mastodon months ago, and I tried over and over to get my closest followers to follow me over and most of them continue to stay there. Happy to say I finally deleted my Twitter account, but I can't imagine the level of addiction you've got to be on in order to sit through this.
