I’ve been asking myself the exact same thing.

The top level comment on this thread, to which you complained about graphical syntax, is discussing the MAU decline over the past 30 days.

If you start at zero, the exact same data is shown as when there is a clearly labeled breakpoint. It contributes nothing other than obscuring the data points and scope of discussion is only for the past month. You’re not making a cogent point.

Just like I said before, a 5% decline is not an insignificant drop or “very slightly declined.” Expanding the scope of the argument to show that it’s actually a far steeper decline in user engagement and then arguing the opposite point is misinterpreting the data. Expanding the scope just shows that the trends are continuously showing declining user engagement with no organic growth other than Reddit fucking up.

Showing the data over an entirely different timescale than what’s currently under discussion means nothing in this context to illustrate your point.

Starting from 0 on the y axis just means you need to change the scale, which like I said makes reading any data points incomprehensible, or end up with an unnecessary amount of whitespace.

All starting at 0 would do is ensure that you have no way to accurately gauge the data points values. It would also just compress the data to an incomprehensible smudge of a line.

The starting point is just so you can adequately see trends for both plots shown and is quite sane. I also don’t know if I could call an ~5% decline and clear trend minimal either.

He might be legally pseudo protected by twitch having minimum age requirements.

Unless it was a few very specific US states, this isn’t really relevant. The minimum age to sign up for an account on Twitch is 13.

Rimworld, Against the Storm, Dwarf Fortress, and other similar games.

Any game where there is no clear end and continuous engagement and problems to solve is dangerous for me.

The user above is wrong. Blocking is only one-directional and you won’t see comments and posts from them any longer, but they still see the things you posts.

Honestly I guess I am kinda broken in that regard, I miss the constant fixations a lot, I feel so bored and helpless when I have nothin’ to focus on.

I wouldn’t say you’re broken, because if you are then I have to admit I’m broken in the same way 😁

Whether we like it or not, this disease is a part of us both and learning to manage and live with it is an integral part of our lives. You’ll find what works for you one of these days, but the important thing is to not give up and keep trying. To me though, what you describe in your post sounds a little more like depression (Something I also have a great deal of personal experience with).

This really resonates with me. It certainly feels like it gets harder to manage every year, but I don’t know that that’s actually the case. I think the reality is just that I’ve become much more aware of my deficiencies over time.

As a child I wouldn’t bat an eye at playing video games for 10 hours straight without eating or drinking anything, but as an adult I’m aware that I could be doing so much more productive things with my time. Now, if I ever feel the familiar urge of a new fixation setting in I also feel melancholic because I have to actively temper myself to the point I feel guilty if I indulge it.

I came into this with no context and was very confused for quite a while until human users added the necessary background.

I had assumed it was an autistic individual solely using an odd AI to communicate, but the reality is so much worse. I hate everything about this and I think the optics of even describing a bot as “autistic” are so incredibly poor and reflects negatively on the entire community.

I definitely thought this was referring to Columbia University until I read the article 😅

Or you could just not be an asshole? Because autism has nothing to do with it and this just makes you an asshole regardless of the situation.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who found the world resets frustrating. I agree that the world is interesting and atmospheric, but as someone who enjoys thoroughly exploring, the resets just kept ruining my immersion into the world. Maybe one day I’ll go back to the game.

Unfortunately, they never left.

Glad you enjoyed it! I didn’t think to include the link originally and mostly wanted to make sure OP wasn’t trying to troubleshoot what’s likely a platform specific issue 😅

Yeah, some people have a tough time understanding and empathizing with those with smaller social batteries in general. I would imagine that introducing a physical ailment of some sort would make that problem doubly as bad.

In response to your edit, here’s a link to the original post. Let me know if it doesn’t work for you still!

It shows correctly for me on a native Lemmy account on mobile at least.

Personally I just block the entire community if all posts are made up of Reddit mirrors. If that’s all the posts that are there, that’s probably all there ever will be. It just clutters up my feed otherwise. There are a handful of lower post volume communities that I have mild interest in that I’ve let slide but it seems to have worked well so far.

All the options are pretty much all or nothing at this point. You can block the community the bot is posting to or disable bot posts being visible in entirety in your settings.

I’m not sure why you’re being downvoted for this because it’s objectively a correct take. They are pricing their product at what they think people will pay for it and it’s working.

I agree with the overall consensus that the chain as a whole is no longer cheap, convenient, nor fast any longer, but they are still consistently busy almost all day long at any franchise I’ve lived near in the past few years. This is anecdotal, but seems to indicate that they know what they are doing. If you don’t like the pricing then don’t buy it at that price point. If enough people agree with you and follow suit, then they will lower their prices, deal with reduced profits, or fail as a business.
