    Askhistorians and other academic subreddits, along with specific fan communities. Lemmy is just too small to support a good community for a smaller video game, for example. That’s pretty much it though I was surprised at how little I missed reddit after switching

    • Personal insults.
    • The attitude that upvotes and downvotes define right and wrong more than actual reasoning does.
    • People thinking they can extrapolate your whole worldview, background and value as a human being from a comment.
    • Absolutism and binary thinking, where only two opinions are possible: the Right one and the extreme opposite Wrong one, and questioning ANY aspect of the Right one implies wholehearted support for the Wrong one.

    But tbh I don’t really miss any of those things, cuz they’re all here on lemmy too.

    I don’t miss anything from reddit, I can still go there if I want. If anything, lemmy still feels underpopulated if I only browse the stuff I’m subscribed to.

    Working mobile apps. My Jerboa mobile app for Lemmy works great, but if they hadn’t have broken all the mobile apps and acted like such shitheads, I wouldn’t even be here :)

    Most subs i follow have a discord anyway, so mostly on discord. For the subs not on discord, I use alternative measures viz; a. ChubbyFire - I still check the space out

    b. r4r- I Resort to other pay for play NSFW apps.

    Video game specific communities. Like any random game that is even semi-popular has an active sub on Reddit. Even the most popular games in the entire world rn don’t have much activity, if they even have communities, on Lemmy.

    I would rather argue the motivations of a souls boss than politics or what the best linux distro is 😮‍💨.

          I feel like there’s probably about 50 different directions that one could take that idea, and the story very clearly paints that act as a Bad Thing™ to have done.

          But to play devil’s advocate (just because I have also been missing this type of discussion), one could argue that experiencing love would compromise Miquella’s plans for his planned age of compassion. An age of compassion would be one which treats everyone equally, to try to universally end worldly suffering.

          Love, on the other hand, is what allows one to play favorites, and is also something that cannot really be controlled. Having a stronger attachment towards some people over others because of love would result in discontent, and sabotage the type of egalitarian compassion Miquella wanted to create.

          Marika’s reign became rocky because there were conflicts between those she favored and those she shunned. She absolutely played favorites, and did not love everyone equally. Her solution to break the cycle of suffering was to simply remove death from the world entirely, but as we saw, that just ended up making its own whole host of problems.

          So I think Miquella was trying to avoid making that same mistake of favoritism we saw under Marika, but ended up making another mistake which could have been just as potentially consequential as his mother’s decision to shatter the rune of death. A dispassionate “compassion” wouldn’t really be compassion at all.
