I just dint think any of it matters. UK is a big market for Internet users… Yes, like any other developed country.

It is only the 4th largest country for 4chan… Which isn’t even in the top 3.

The UK not having access to 4chan is of no consequence, and the kinds of people that still hang out there would probably know there way around a VPN.

There is no further thing that’s worth addressing.

The population of internet users is tiny compared to the total population of internet users in the Western world.

Nothing great or significant is lost.

Oh no! That one country out of all the other ones will be the biggest loss ever!

Anyway, about these things called VPNs.

“Slow Sundays with rain against your window”

Me, who works on Sunday: >:(

What kind of nonsense is this writeup? Media “got to me”? Look, you see Denmark? You see how it’s in support of chat control?

Yeah, that’s my country. So it’s a rather serious issue here.

This would be the silliest version of it.

A burger or a sausage is more like a format of food rather than a specific ingredient of food. It would be like saying things sold as a “loaf” can only be made of wheat.

I’ve had militant vegan neighbours when I was a student. I don’t know how they did it, but they found ways of turning every conversation about them and their “superior” life choices.

Then there are the vegans I sometimes meet during my summer work ours; the ones standing on the street and bothering everyone walking past them in a very persistent manner. Like a jehova’s witness.

I’m not saying every vegan is like this. I think I’ve met more vegans that didn’t rub it in everyone’s face than ones that did. But consider yourself lucky that you haven’t met anyone like that in twenty years.

That’s a you problem. Most gamers and developers do want those things and every thriving game I can think of has a very active Discord community.

It is if you want to use it for that.

If everyone that cares about your game is already there, it’s much simpler to use Discord to drop an announcement.

It’s only trapped on Discord if one refuses to ever join Discord. Most people playing games use Discord, so that’s not a real issue for them.

Making things searchable, such as problems and solutions, is dependent on how well managed a community is; over the years I’ve had plenty of issues trying to find something on a forum simply because something like keywords, and tagging didn’t exist or wasn’t enforced, or bug reports were regelated to a single forum thread.

The same it is with Discord. If you’re smart you’ll create a “forum” channel for bug and issue reports and force users to use tags as a rule.

Discord isn’t friction as most developers and gamers use Discord regularly. You refusing to use Discord makes you a tiny minority. So it’s friction for you, and you personally.

These same people want an online live discussion about the issues in the game. This again makes you part of a tiny minority that doesn’t want that.

Since you’re part of a minority, developers lose nothing by your lack of interest in the Discord community they’ve created. A game certainly won’t fail if you choose to ignore Discord. Rather, a game is likely to fail if there doesn’t exist any Discord community for it.

I’m very much against the self righteous types of vegans that go around reminding everyone like they’re an Arch user.

But… This is a stupid waste of EU time and resources. We have a lot more pressing matters to concern ourselves with than something literally nobody is confused about.

Some people in certain positions must be incredibly petty to even suggest this.

I know this is very unpopular, but something like Discord is very much preferable for real-time conversations than a forum. The interactions with developers and players is a lot more natural, and having a voice chat is always nice.

Discord can also have separate chat rooms about specific issues that can be tagged and searched.

So the functionality of discord is second to none. The only real issue with discord is enshitification. It is very enshitified, and the only way to mostly circumvent that is to have a custom discord client.

If only Matrix was as fully-functional and easy to install and use with just a click.

Nice try, pickpocket. Nice try…

Yes.

I never really got into Heroes of Might and Magic. Somehow the kind of strategy this is never really captured me.

Not hyperbole just fact. Like how none of this metaphysical crap about truth ever holds up the instant more than one observer of the same phenomenon occurs.

I’ve had this dumb argument several times before, and it always fails, determined simply by scientific observation, and the scientific method.

But yes, I am too good for this argument, because I’m not being dishonest with myself about the reality I live in.

The very first sentence in this paragraph already fails. How do you expect me to take the rest seriously?

Belief in nonsense is called “delusion”. So you go ahead and continue being delusional.

Metaphysical nonsense is not a good argument.
