Patient Gamers - Lemmy
lemmy.ml
A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it’s price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don’t meet the system requirements, or just haven’t had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

There’s another community already for patient gamers here: !patientgamers@lemmy.ml.

Consider consolidating to just one community to not split our relatively small group.

I’ve joined both, but will probably be more active at the other.

    That’s right. However, as demonstrated in the links provided by GarlicFries, lemmy.ml is owned by people that are complacent or downright supportive of tankies. By creating another community on sh.itjust.works, the goal was specifically to pick an instance that blocks lemmygrad.

      And just in case people don’t feel like reading through the links.

      Here’s an announcement from lemmygrad themselves.

      We’ll go through each account application with due diligence, but we would like you to know before you request an account that Lemmygrad is a Marxist instance, principally Marxist-Leninist. We like Stalin and we uphold the DPRK’s sovereignty and legitimacy over the whole of Korea. We love China’s Socialism with Chinese Characteristics

      And some comments from posters there

      By experience, most internet users who self-identified as Communists and oppose Stalin tend to be either brainwashed people in countries that are under the rule of Westen European diaspora or trolling bots. Is there any real Communists who actually oppose Stalin? Stalin receive the most slander in Western European diaspora because he refused the destruction of USSR through an unsustainable war against Fascism and he forced the desolution of alliance by British and French empires with Hitler’s Nazi Germany. The Liberals complained about the non-agreession pact between Stalin and Hitler, even when the Western European empires forced Stalin to make the peace pact, that buy time for war preparation by USSR against Hitler at a time when USSR is too underindustrialized and too devasted from the Russian civial war that was more damaging than World War 1.

      DPR Korea isn’t sovereign over the whole of Korea. Not yet, anyway. Hopefully soon.

      And from reddit a user had this to say about lemmygrad.ml and lemmy.ml ties

      Lemmygrad is/was hosted on the same IP as Lemmy.ml, which is publicly run by the head developer. Lemmygrad is very clearly owned by the same tankies that develop the platform.

          Nothing a hard fork can’t fix :D

          EDIT: in the git sense, not literally stabbing people with a hard fork

          Hardly dumb. Offer a free and open space you secretly have a back door into and let it get populated. This happens all the time. A recent example would be some crypto exchanges that were secure and anonymous that suddenly disappeared with all the accounts.

          I’m sure you can think of other examples too!

          -edit- At first I thought it was just satire, related to “communism” thing, more just anti Laissez-faire monopoly capitalism(yes I had to google how to spell that repeatedly!). But…wow, I’m the one that is nieve it seems!

          Open source is similar in spirit with communism, which is all about equality of access to resource (or in this case, source codes). Like in communism, you could say some comrades are more equals than others.
