    That's an easily solvable problem with an only let friends ping me/whitelist/ blacklist option.

    I honestly believe that only happens if the administrations lets it happen. Communities like Eve Online are basically just 3D chat rooms where Clans/"Corporations" are organised in their own chats. Nobody feels entitled if your entitlement is faced with a automatic 'please don't waste the time of people with irrelevant pings. They increase the administrative effort and prevent users who need help from actually getting help.' messages.

    To me it's actually quite obvious what it is. It's a big studio taking on the popular indie 'Build and Survive' Genre. Rust has been very popular, but they bit off more than they can chew. Bethesda on the other hand already has decades of experience in building grand worlds. Now if they can successfully add Rust elements to that it's going to be amazing.

    It really doesn't matter as much as people pretend it does.. There will most likely be a mod or hack to play the game entirely offline a few weeks after release.

    I always find this argument a little dishonest. What about the energy powering all the banks and transactions in the world? The amount of resources and human labor that is used to make an international transaction secure? Bitcoin doesn't need all of that.

    We don't talk high literature, but we discuss cool scifi and hype for the next Brandon Sanderson

    Maybe there should actually be both ~lit and ~books? probably too early for such a split, I guess.

    Edit: Or more like lit discussion as a sub tilde of books or something this stuff is confusing

    All of those subreddits are definitely included in my favorites subs! And that's the most wholesomest reason for quitting Reddit I have ever read. I might just do the same.

    This sounds like such a perfect system in theory I so hope it works out.

    Personally I am not easily wowed by a story. In my opinion even RPGs like Witcher or definitely Skyrim feel more like Storys on Rails than true RPGs. The depth and difference my interactions make with the world has stunned me sofar. Best isometric RPG eva if I may say so. Reminds me a little bit of a hybrid of a The Lord of the Rings game for the GBA and The Malazan Empire story if that's something people know.

    I think that the ban for his tone and his personal attacks is fully justified even without warning. I mean 'don't insult people' is a pretty natural law of civilized communication, but he was still right. People in that thread were 100% concern trolling, pretending to have irrational fears and worries that outweigh their 'worry about racism'

    but once we get to the point where racism, sexism, religious discrimination, etc. are being thrown around, insults take the place of civil discussion, entire sections of arguments are being completely ignored (e.g. you cover a subject and then the person you replied to immediately starts going "but what about (subject)?!"

    It's a real fact that America has an incredible problem with racism right now in their administration. It's a real fact the Government's obvious indifference and/or dog whistling whenever another escalation of tension between racists and normal people happens empowers more and more racists around the country. It's absurd to give people who say things like:

    As to why I still support him, there has yet to be one news "report" or event that was both credible and unforgivable. Trump has done things undesirable and dishonest both before and during his presidency, but so do most if not all other politicians.

    an open forum to discuss and recruit people. This has been literally stormfronts and co go to strategy to invade communities for years. Especially if they are invite only, because it's easier to get the upper hand in numbers.

    Green postulates that Bannon's time at IGE was "one that introduced him to a hidden world, burrowed deep into his psyche, and provided a kind of conceptual framework that he would later draw on to build up the audience for Breitbart News, and then to help marshal the online armies of trolls and activists that overran national politicians and helped give rise to Donald Trump," Green writes.

    Yiannopoulos devoted much of Bretibart's tech coverage to cultural issues, particularly Gamergate, a long-running online argument over gaming culture that peaked in 2014. And that helped fuel an online alt-right movement sparked by Breitbart News.

    "I realized Milo could connect with these kids right away," Bannon told Green. "You can activate that army. They come in through Gamergate or whatever and then get turned onto politics and Trump."

    /u/Redacted was wrong to stoop to their level and used personal attacks, but when he said

    There's no '[Charlottesville] hoax' and this is EXACTLY why T_D type people are looked down upon. You're trivializing racism, bigotry, and the violence that these morons commit.

    he was being completely accurate and truthful.

    A community that allows people to spread their indifference and lies about the violence committed by hateful groups turns into a T_D child really fast. It happened to plenty of subs in the past few years on Reddit (e.g. /r/worldnews, a bunch of the smallish european subs).
