UPDATE: I just created !freecompliments@lemm.ee! I couldn’t create it on lemmy.world, sorry. Lemmy World can be weird like that. But at least lemm.ee is stable!
Edit: I would also like to say that after looking at r/freecompliments, their rules are over-explained TL;DR stuff and I get the vibe that they are overly controlling, enforcing a toxic level of positivity at all costs, and all that.
Edit 2: What sucks is I made this new banner for it, but lemm.ee has never let me upload images, even profile pics or banners.
I tried posting this to trueoffmychest to dredge some sympathy for him, since that seemed appropriate and he was good with it, but they don’t allow ‘anger’ or ‘impersonal’ posts and that got quietly removed immediately
Okay, yeah, and this is why I’m happy I created this community. “Toxic positivity”, “extreme safe spaces”, and tangential mentalities are extremely harmful and suffocating and can die in a fire.

It’s FOSS. I’d imagine people would fork it, because fuck it
Linux doesn’t work for most people, and Windows and Mac are corporate. I hope ReactOS succeeds.
Fuck you, Unity.
Japan would rather die. Microsoft, I don’t know what their shit deal is.
I hope so, but frankly we’ll just have to see. The people with the money and power usually win.
Just one. So far. It’s pretty funny.
You keep saying SPD and I keep wondering how Space Patrol Delta sunk so low. It’s no wonder the top of the force turned evil and the B-team Power Rangers became the heroes we needed to stop them.
What?
I don’t remember why, but I’m pretty sure I needed to to use some kind of service.
People talked about it a ton when it was new.
Some pizza is great fridged, but not all pizza. There’s a local pizza place in town that makes this cheesy, greasy pizza with a soft thin crust. That pizza is particularly good fridged.
This is not what I want to see on World News.
I agree with you completely. I just wasn’t about to write an essay on potential contributing factors that can help one succeed, plus luck. I just wanted to say that these days, there are a lot of indie smash hits out there that succeed in part because people saw a whole lot of love in them, when a lot of the more cynical corporate creators would never have made such things in such ways. Hell, it’s not just indies. It’s why many Nintendo games are so beloved, even “forgotten” ones like Earthbound. ^^
I know that stupid rich CEOs and shareholders don’t understand this, but… “heart”. You make a game with heart, and it’s immediately apparent to the audience. You can try to break down what it is that gives it away, but that’s unnecessary.
If a work of art has heart, it will probably sell well. As long as people can clearly see what it is, and as long as it doesn’t do anything alienating.
Banner, again:
