Its not that hard to fathom when you have worked with these types of people.

All it was was a numbers meeting, no User Experience folks in the room. They said how much revenue they would increase quarter over quarter, and how much engagement it would drive. Everyone claps, the meeting ends they move forward with the next terrible design decision. Companies no longer take focus group testing seriously for anything.

Science already has an established method for debating and refuting scientific findings/claims. So this idea that we need to make a spectacle out of it is so disingenuous on its face. “oh but if they know what they are talking about it would be easy to defend in a debate”, but it goes the other way. Then they keep moving the goal posts on what qualifies as a “real” scientific test, and I just can’t have a good faith conversation with these people. I’ll correct people in real life, but the internet is a cesspool and I don’t have the patience.

I use discord for 2 things, my personal group chat with friends that I manage, and keeping up with Mechanical Keyboard artisan shops and manufacturers. So I mean it wont be a huge leap for me to migrate to something better.

This is essentially where I am with it. I get the outrage but for now I don’t have an issue. But likely as with many things lately, we should maybe pursue the federated option.

Is there a steamdeck lemmy community? I quite liked having a place to talk about performance of some games or tweaks or releases.
