I’m enjoying NecroMerger. It has optional ads (no forced short ads either) and the micro transactions are either some general buffs, ad-free version or gems. The gems are dished out royally imo, where I’ve purchased most of the premium currency content by just playing.

Something you can’t play right now but can sign up to play for later: WalkScape. It’s an RPG game in a similar style to RuneScape, but you actually have to walk to craft, skill and walk around the map.

The team has often said that they are against microtransactions and other monetization schemes that currently plague the industry, so they have plans to release a freemium version and a paid version.

You can still do the voting and the sorting without actually showing it publicly. This would make discussions a lot more genuine

It’s a reference to the 100k Trump watch. So still specific to the US

If the topic is repeated a lot, or there’s an ongoing event or incident happening a megathread seems helpful. All the important information and recent developments can be pinned to a single post, instead of having to trawl through each discussion to either help others find information or to get more info yourself.

Communities that are huge might deploy these more often for lower scale events, as I can imagine the umpteenth thread about some change in a video game being stupid can cause the rest of the community to start disengaging, which is something you want to collectively avoid.

I agree with all of your post but you can search the entire server at once. If it autofills the channel you’re either on mobile or used ctrl+F, and you can just remove it as a parameter.

Works the other way around as well, like you can search in a specific channel by adding “in:#channelname” in your search box.

Still hate it though. But I wanted to point out that it’s a teeny bit less stupid.

In a way that scares me, but it would explain how we have so many different ways of looking at life.
