Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

The EU page started 404ing for me right when it should have hit 1 mil; are we being trolled?

Edit: nvm worked from desktop. Maybe just hug of death.

It is still getting hugged, I guess people are rushing to add their names now that it is a won battle.
Edit: managed to load at 999,614.

I am a little worried that some of the surge in signatures has been botting, but I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

You need to identify yourself with a state issued form of identification so I doubt botting happened.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Not in every country. In about half of them, you only need to provide a name, address and date of birth.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Sheesh. Was jot aware of that. Still hope people were not dumb enough to bot it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Some definitely were, but hopefully not too many. There's still almost a whole month left to build up a solid buffer.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Well to be honest if the only info needed is like name and date of birth I could just enroll my whole family and technically all would be legitimate signatures right?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 21 hours ago

Correct, although that would be technically illegal but no one will check. However, bots and trolls who spammed faked addresses will most certainly have their signatures invalidated.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 22 hours ago

Depends heavily on country.
