agree, I tried advertising Lemmy to my friends, but when they are showing very little interest in the idea of digital freedom or privacy I just stop trying.
It also doesn’t help that one person in question jumped the (reddit) ship to Twitter.
Someone else I tried playes League and OW2.
I made the decision that maybe lemmy isn’t for everyone. please stay unpopular/hidden and fun.
But seriously. It’s not an argument against using Lemmy. It’s more, that OW’s community has a reputation for being toxic and he does not want them on here.
People downplay the reasons people get toxic on games like OW
When you’re forced to rely on other people to help you achieve a goal and the majority of those people have the cognition of a brick it gets pretty hard to stay calm.
It’s why I quit playing team based games like it in the first place. I wasn’t having fun and I’d get pissed over small shit.
what SomeBoyo said, but also because of stereotypes. You can kinda assume someone’s personality by what a they like, and this is not a very joy sparking track record.
I feel like I have to note: I have nothing aginst you.
Oh, I understand, I didn’t try to start an argument by my comment. Was just curious as to how OW is nowadays perceived from outside, and the picture is kind of sad. But eh, the game is fun as long as I keep text and voice chat disabled and just play for myself - so the community complaints are absolutely valid.

Wait, hold up, I play OW2. How is that an argument against using Lemmy?
I’m sorry, but it’s time for you to leave. /s

I don’t think being toxic in a game translates to being toxic in a meme community.
Although lemmy communities for league and OW (tbh most of lemmy) are much much less inactive the than their reddit counterparts.
Getting downvoted because lemmy dickriders got upset
Probably that those games have massive reddit communities?
