Ich vermisse die Diversität an Communities und damit die Masse an Inhalten und Anlaufstellen, die da über die Jahre gewachsen ist. Das nötige Wachstum lässt sich leider nicht künstlich beschleunigen, grade bei einer Plattform, in die man sich halt doch erstmal einarbeiten muss. Auf die in vielen Subs vorherrschende Forenkultur kann ich gut verzichten.

Nobody tells me anything around here.

Thank you for saving everyone a click.

I mean, I did partake in the "Skyrim in space" jokes but I didn't know there'd be pickpocketing. Huh. So is it safe to say everybody's builds are going to trend towards stealth sniping?

Wait, I thought that just accepted everything? Because if you don't care about cookies, you'd be fine with anything, no? But "rejecting" cookie banners to me implies rejecting cookies which is different if I'm not mistaken.

You may have nothing to hide now but what if your (political) opponents reach a point where they have access to your data and the (political) power to use it? What happens if they don't like your opinions which (you think) you don't have to hide now?

My opinions may mostly align with the current general consensus in my country and since I'm not politically active I am rather unlikely to be harmed because of my opinions in the foreseeable future (unless I call someone 1 Pimmel). But there are certain developments that are troubling and there are people who don't like what I've said on the internet (duh). Now, I'm not exactly anyone important and realistically there are far more important targets than me personally. But still, it's not unthinkable that the things I've said (things I've looked at on the internet, things I've bought, things I've like/upvoted) might be used to my detriment if certain people came into a position where they have access to any stored data on me.

This applies regardless of your political leanings. If data exists, no matter how harmless it may seem, there's always the possibility of people who REALLY don't like it getting access.

Chrissi, weißt du was n echt geiler Impuls wäre? Wenn der Pöbel mehr Geld hätte, um der Wirtschaft ihren Scheiß abzukaufen.

This is the analogue version of what OP is describing, VERY common here.

Was soll das denn bitte.

I'm conservative and this is deep.
