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.

At the current rate (which may or may not hold and may or may not be legitimate) the initiative should beat “One of Us”, the biggest one yet with 1.9M signatures (pro-life, ultimately did nothing).

This should not stop, the more the merry and also to ensure to filter out anomalies. 34k have already signed pass the million

I swear this is not me doomering (I very much support this campaign and even signed it myself half a year ago), but I strongly suspect that at least a good chunk of those are fake. The issue is very hot in "terminally online" circles and those are the kind of people who don't really think things through before acting.

I hope the number will keep on growing until the "legit" votes make up for the fake ones.

Fresh update video from Ross about the campaign.

TL;DW:

  • There's a chance many of the signatures for the EU petition aren't real. Keep signing to build up a safety margin. Official suggestions are: 10% more minimum, 20% pretty OK, up to 40% more for an actual safety net.
  • Some countries had problems with signing using the digital ID system - suggests to use the manual method (instructions on the campaign page) or try again later.
  • Someone not related with the campaign released a SKG crypto. Don't touch it, obviously.
  • Ross heard about people harassing Pirate Software, asks to stop.
  • He's got a lot of messages to reply to, prioritises ones important to the campaign for now.
  • UK petition cleared 100k signatures. Number is most likely more reliable than the EU one.
  • Link about contacting UK MP's for those who want to do more than just sign a petition.

Yay! I'm one in a million!

Can we move for a Stop Killing People now!? :)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

That's definitely a stretch goal. But at least if we can start by stopping them from killing something innocuous like games it shows that we still maybe have some power over them.

Definitely keep signing, I'm really concerned at the speed it rose , and I'm really hoping there wasn't something else at play here.

It was Critikal and PewDiePie saying to sign it. They could get a million signatures on literally anything.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

but dozens a minute increase in the dawn hours?

Someone posted a screenshot from 4chan where they were talking about how to fake submissions... 😠
