Honestly, the anime isn’t even good. Like, I’m still reading the manga, but I had to stop watching the anime something like 10 years ago.
I’ve heard it has gotten better since then, but watching the whole thing still includes years worth of episodes so thinly streched you could probably watch every third one without missing anything. And that’s on top of arcs so long, they are even a slog to read through (Dressrosa and Wano).
I’m guessing the hackers are releasing both actual and fake leaks, just to get attention. Do some damage until GF gives in to their demands, wich I presume they made.
Just don’t believe anything that could easily be made up.
Back on reddit, I mostly interacted with communities relating to JRPGs. There are some communities over here, but at most they post some trailers every now and then. There are also some more focussd communities about Dragon Quest, Xenoblade or SMT - all of them practically dead. I don’t think there is an instance.
I could go over to a programming related one, the german instance or even one of the vegan instances for secondary ‘interests’, but those aren’t things I often find myself posting about online to be honest. They seem to be mostly about memes anyways.
Unfortunately, there is no instance matching my interests. There are a number of communities across different instances, but it seems like several people tried to make their own, didn’t interact with each other and all of them are long dead.
Once I find such an instance, I’ll switch over. I’ve been meaning to leave .world anyways.
While I do agree with the problems identified, I can’t help but think they also made forums a lot better. Due to the lower discoverability and higher effort to actually join communities felt more personal. You interacted with smaller groups and came to know specific people. I still have friends from back then.
On larger platforms, I never had that. Even lemmy, which is small in comparison has enough people that I barely even think about specific users. Let alone speak with them on a personal level.
They very much are for a lot of people. Lines goes up, you can give yourself a nice bonus payout and if things come crashing down you leave. With your golden parachute of course.
As always, you guys are way too fixated on size.
I couldn’t name a single street in the city I’ve been born in except the ones I lived in. I’ve learned to navigate the city before I could read and never bothered to read street names thereafter.
The same goes for every other city, my mental map of cities includes almost no street names. Maybe that’s because I don’t use cars at all, after all I could name bus stations and such (some of which are named after streets, I guess, but I’ve still got no idea about how they connect or even which street of an intersection actually has the name).
