Thanks for the reply. I've been side-eyeing instances that have open community creation due to how easy it is for bad actors to come and start shit, especially if instance admins aren't constantly on top of things.

As other people in this thread have pointed out, if you allow Nazis to hang out in your bar for long enough, you become a Nazi bar. Given your instance's stated rules against bigotry, I would advocate for proactive action in cases like this. Donald Trump is a champion of racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, and xenophobia - all the things you don't allow. I wouldn't think you'd want a community that champions him as a dogwhistle for all of those things.

Have you considered disabling open community creation and having it be a function of your Agora discussion space?

ULTRAKILL is the most fun I've had with an oldschool FPS in ages. The difficulty ramps up perfectly, it's super approachable for new players, and the skill ceiling for what you can do when you're good is absolutely insane. The soundtrack is also fire.

Clips like this make me want to do another playthrough: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UdHVt7cTwXc

Glad to hear I'm not the only one. Something about the isometric/top-down ARPG genre has never clicked with me, and I really can't figure out why. I've tried torchlight, every diablo (except 4), path of exile - I end up bouncing off of them after a week or so and just lose interest.

It makes even less sense when you consider I can sink 300+ hours into Souls/Elden Ring or Xenoblade... Something about the format just doesn't work for me, I guess.

I'd wager this is in response to the campaign going around to block every blue checkmark. Elon can't let his crowd of sycophants feel like they're being ignored.

And, if you help someone register, take a look at all the instances! It's more healthy for the network if everyone isn't siloed on the few larger ones.

Subscribed! For people on the lemmy side, just searching for https://kbin.social/m/thescarydoor should have it come up.

Posted this elsewhere, but as people flood in maybe some community promotion isn't a bad thing...
