When you make a community whose key promise is providing a safe space for marginalized groups, is it not your duty to actually make good on that promise?
To Beehaw, following through on that is more important than growing as fast as possible. People who want growth at all costs shouldn’t use Beehaw.

At first I thought “damn, what kind of socially defective moron upvotes a comment like this”, then I checked the activity and saw that you upvoted your own comment.
For predominantly single-player games, I fully agree. Sell me a meaty expansion, don’t trickle things out as little pieces of DLC.
I don’t think the expansion model really works for multiplayer games though. You end up fracturing the community. It’s why I think cosmetic microtransactions are a net positive, but only in the context of multiplayer. It’s why games like Apex, Fortnite, and CSGO are not only still relevant, but actively updated and improved for so many years after their release.
Mastadon is not a good Twitter replacement. It lacks discoverability and ease of use. I think Bluesky has potential to succeed where it failed.
I’m not sure kbin or Lemmy can truly replace Reddit overnight either. They aren’t as easy to use. More importantly, they have no good mobile apps, which is the whole reason people are looking for a Reddit alternative to begin with.
The changes in the most recent season were pretty well recieved, the problem is the glacier like pace at which this game is being improved.
I suspect 343’s real problem is bad technology leading to slow content production. It’s why the game came out late and unfinished, and it’s why updates take an eternity.
At one point the studio seriously considered throwing in the towel on their Slipspace engine and rebooting development in Unreal. The sunk cost fallacy won out and now they are sleeping in the bed they made.
