I've been playing it over a year now. Once I was able to snag a PS5 and Playstation put it back in the store I picked it up.
MUCH MUCH better playing than launch...r/cyberpunk2077 used up a lot of salt throughout its tenure as a subreddit. Yet most the extreme hate the game drew was due to the insane promises CDPR made prior to launch. I'm personally not buying the DLC coming out in September until after it's released because of the botched launch, however I do expect it's going to run a lot smoother than the game's launch.
BUT as a base game, if you can pick it up on sale now, by all means I recommend getting it.
I'm just as old as he is, maybe only a few years younger. I started to learn computers on a Commodore VIC 20 and 64, used tape drives for storage. I entered into BBS near the end of its popularity, however I used chat boards, AOL, and Geocities...old forums as well. I also moderated a forum for a few years on a Star Wars fan site before the admin shut it down and I moved to Reddit.
I have a lot of experience navigating forums as well...Fediverse sometimes takes a little bit more digging to find what you want. The point I was also trying to make is that these platforms are also in their infancy, their alpha programming state. So things will change, the platform will develop. This kind of thing isn't built in a day, yet IMHO it's so much nicer not having ads forced down my throat on desktop every five posts.
If this person doesn't like the experience here, then there's nothing saying he can't go back to Reddit.
Although I didn't use your app, Christian. The work you and other devs have done with your 3rd party apps for Reddit was outstanding. Good luck with whatever's over the next horizon!
Sorry things went sour with Reddit, and wish it could have been different.
I don't think it's a question of enough people ditching Reddit, but just enough to create and/or provide quality content.
And really that doesn't matter as much as participating in a platform that's free of all the BS Reddit evolved into. Fediverse has a platform free of almost everything long term Redditors came to hate.
