100% chances that it was some shitty hedge fund VC that will squeeze the place for money ruining it utterly

Edit: From a comment elsewhere:

People on Restera did some digging: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nexus-mods-site-has-been-sold.1219452/post-141554013 Site of the company itself: https://wearechosen.io/ Here is a monetization “cheat sheet” that the CEO posted on LinkedIn which is linked on Chosen’s main page if you scroll down: https://i.imgur.com/ztjS4K7.jpeg In the CEO’s LinkedIn profile it says this: Working closely with teams at NexusMods and beyond to build meaningful, sustainable experiences If I had to guess the acquisition details are under some sort of NDA right now

Oh yeah, that history search is absolute garbage and has been so for a few years now, it’s sometimes easier to do a normal YT search, i’ve been tempted many times to do a periodic Takeout and use the result to do a proper local search, but honestly feels like too much work for the purpose

For those of us who have never played any of them, is it suggested you go through 1 and 2 first? Is there a recommended play order? Or just “Jump into 3 and forget about it”?

One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.

Isn’t that the PineTime? Or am i mistaken in that somehow?

I’ve heard this described as “the 1% Rule”, which more or less goes like: In online communities, 1% of the users generate 90% of the content, 9% of the users create 10% of the content by reacting to, modifying or generally interacting with that 1%, and the other 90% of people are lurkers. This fits quite well with what I’ve seen on online communities myself for decades. So, if you alienate that 1%, your community will eventually either disappear or become a hollow reflection of what it used to be.

Yet it still must be done

This site is in the US, is there a mirror for if/when they decide to target it?

As someone who hasn’t used any of the advanced Discord features (audio/video/streaming), and neither has really tried Revolt, how far along is it these days? I heard it was aiming for 100% feature parity but was behind in those advanced ones, but that was some years ago and haven’t kept up, it would be very good if it was at least at “acceptable” level in all those by the time Discord goes IPO

First i hear of this one, interesting, how far along is it?

Never say never, once Discord goes IPO and the enshittification goes bad enough to annoy gamers Discord is fucked, and Revolt is a drop-in replacement, the fact that it can be self-hosted will also be a plus for some people, mass migrations are rare but they DO happen

I need a stack of these stickers, had to deface a nazi one the other day manually with a marker like a savage

Only if it actually worked as the salespeople said it does, we have used this tech enough to know that it very much does not do what they say it can do

As freaking everybody warned but nooooo, they had to toll out the red carpet for them…

I do believe there’s blocklists for their IPs out there, that should mitigate things a little

Or how every time you enter some ancient ruins on some game, EVERYTHING is still working despite not having seen a person in a millenia

I am completely at a loss as how will this be implemented OR enforced

Too damn bad then, hopefully this will help
