After a week of building and curating [email protected], the community already has 58 subscribers—and it’s only getting started.

I’ve been thinking hard about the kind of place I want this to be. The vision comes down to three things:

  1. Real conversations about games
  2. Minimal memes
  3. Zero outrage culture

I want this community to be about joy—a space for people who actually play video games to share what excites them. Not a dumping ground for culture wars. Not another echo chamber for Gamergate-era nonsense.

Games are for everyone. And everyone should feel comfortable digging deep here. Talk about an obscure Japanese console. Explore weird European PCs. Or break down the craft behind how a game actually got made. That’s the stuff I want to see flourish.

Here’s to the next 100 posts—and beyond. Come join in:

      Well it isn’t possible, and probably not ever possible to automatically redirect lemmy-based subscribers to a new community on piefed via migration. I also think lemmy users would not like that even if it was.

      But Rimu did suggest he wanted it to automatically do it for piefed based users, and have it so all posts are automatically migrated on all piefed instances too.

        Yep.

        With that limitation and with most of the community moves in the foreseeable future being from Lemmy to PieFed, not PieFed to PieFed, it’s not really a high priority.
