I definitely feel you on this one. I pretty mucj took my vocal chords and fucked off when BaconReader was killed off, but even before then my visits got drastically cut back when the ability to kill the app nag was removed from web interface in monile browsers. That’s what put me onto BaconReader in the first place.

Used tp use it tp voice porn (gonewildaudo).

Obviously, spez fucked that up.

Good. fuck’em.

Good. Fuck ElMu. ElMu sucks.

With its egalitarian nature, people could get a LiFE - because Lemmy is For Everyone.

"Once upon a runtime things were RiF’d on a regular basis. But then things went bad. Really bad. A great migration ensued, and in federation a truth was found.

Reddit was fun. But Lemmy is for Everyone.

Mourn the Rif. Embrace LifE."

It means little from some rando, but your grief is both real and valid. May it fuel a rekindled passion here, and make for a beacon that calls friends lost and seeking, and also burn away the sorrow.

And if that light helps burn the old hangout to the ground with the landlord inside? I’ll gladly help with alibi.

The immediate thought that came to mind waa a semi-procedural space trading/combat game that crafted galaxies inspired by netword structures and connected devices, with the router serving as the ‘stargate’ and resources not actually pulling anything from the systems involved. Smart devices could show up as ships or satellites, or planets depending on the types of devices involved.

Something of a cross between Star Control/ Ur-Quan Masters, No Man’s Sky, and maybe Allegiance?

Not that you’re wrong, but the rodent comparison, in light of reading this on Lemmy, gave me a chortle.

Engagement is not a bad thing. Some creators need the dopamine hit of feedback. As an infrequent poster of super niche nature, I relate intensely. I just don’t have any current written or spoken content to put out right now.
