I only fell for one of those maybe once or twice before I caught on.
I did manage to get scammed and have my habbo hotel account stolen though, I was also a stupid kid.

I wasn’t dunking on the game, I only said I didnt play it, and otherwise, anything in the present that Krafton is associated with seems like something to avoid
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 weeks ago:
The internet in the 2000s was like a WW1 Trenchline. Noise and graphic content everywhere and one wrong move could cost you life or limb.
I dont exactly remember when it started getting “safer” because I think the same time the internet was getting safer to browse, a lot of Millenial and Zillenial kids were getting smarter and otherwise learning how to not get malware and worms on their PC

the creation in the game is advanced, its the gameplay inbetween the character creator and house designer that I find to be hollow
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 weeks ago:
yeah cause you cant get one at your local best buy anymore, but someone will certainly harrass you into trying to buy a smart TV
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 weeks ago:
Likely because those sites are built by the same provider.
I work for a car dealership and all of the other dealerships of the same brand in our region use the same family of providers, We -used- to have the faces of real employees pop up on the chat thing until they got too busy to handle it
now its the same stock photo of a person who likely doesnt even exist
- Comment on Anon does some online shopping 2 weeks ago:
Rose tinted glasses. Shopping online in 2005 was absolutely not as simple as 3 clicks.
you missed the part about broken links, pages that wouldnt load because of some random HTML error, oh, and the payment itself either getting rejected or otherwise not working for a long time.

I never cared for Subnautica I also never cared for PUBG
But what little I know about PUBG, What I’ve seen them do to Subnautica 2, and that lazy AI ridden “Sims killer” Inzoi, Im of the opinion Krafton are just hustlers.
- Comment on I want a chav boyfriend. Where can I find adult chavs? (If you don't know what that is, they're called bogans in Australia and rednecks in the US) 1 month ago:
Chavs and yobs would actively fight with rednecks.
Worst of the British urban population and worst of the American rural population. They wouldn’t xo exist

Chavs. As in the Burberry hat meme?
Or the versions without the hats. Who are apparentley just called Yobs?

That’s enough internet for today.
- Comment on Anon blames millennials 2 months ago:
The golden age of games, also happened to have publishers who were just that, publishers, not slave drivers commanding the market and shutting down studios every time they sneezed.

Bruh it’s 2025 and I’m still on a spin cycle of mostly 10 years old or more games

I’ve tried so many methods that ended in failure, I just gave up and learned to live without
different devices, AFAIK my work PC, personal desktop and both my old and new phone are probably comprmised somehow
tried using incognito mode, different browsers, coupled with different emails. even caved and tried a VPN,
always ended the same way. Make the account, and it gets shadowbanned as soon as I post. Even tried posting in completely different subs instead of the usual suspects.
until I commit to getting a burner laptop or some other device, they got me . I just dont care enough to go that extra step, its fucken reddit. the only thing reddit is good for is niche interest communities, hobbies, etc. the usual swill with News Politics and Sports is just blood pressure raising brainrot
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.

that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,
I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever

we’ve been in the “internet age” for almost 30 years now.
we’re in the algorithm, AI, deepfake age now, the Methods and tactics used for an Information war in the 2000s was less effective in the 2010s, and all but obsolete in the 2020s

ml is unhinged. Its Tankies advocation for what they think is socialism, but they just end up regurgitating whatever the Kremlin propagates because they forgot Russia stopped being a Socialist country 30 years ago, and is a Capitalist Mafia state now,
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
only place I’ve ever been banned from here was not paying attention to which “channel” I was in since I dont fully understand how Lemmy works, and I ended up posting a comment to a thread I saw come up on the main page of lemmy.world when it was actually a lemmy.ml link, and people over there, most of them dont take too kindly to you insulting their Russian overlords,
* .ml by and large are too ignorant to recognize the Russians aren’t their Socialist idols, they’re just a Capitalist oligarchic mafia state. So you make one comment that is percieved as being targetting against the Putin regime and you’re automatically assigned the label of a Pro Western NATOpill schill * - Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit.

the second you get flagged for ban evasion you are pretty much dead in the water. and you’ll have to move on to drastic, expensive measures to get around it. like a new device and probably a new network
even if your ban reason was false, if you make a new account, as far as they’re concerned thats grounds for a non-appeal permanent ban.

r/conservative is just a rebrand and refugee camp of r/thedonald
Conservatism is dead. its just Nazis and Fascists who hijacked the term for better brand imaging.

Lucky you, you got handled by a moderator who wasn’t a raging Trump whore.
I got permabanned after a week long ban for “threatening violence” when I suggested that if a Trump was elected (it was in Oct24) started directley Aiding Russia in their invasion of Europe, that they’d probably end up with a dead president. I appealed and suggested that I wasn’t threatening anyone, and that whoever banned me, was politically biased and triggered. and they flipped out and perma’d me.

I was ahead of the curve, and got permabanned in October 2024 for Promoting violence when I said “If a president decided to betray America’s allies, and start directley helping Russia in its wars of conquest, America would probably end up with a dead president”
They basically told me to fuck off on my appeal, and I have since been Hardware banned from my main PC and my work PC, I still want to go back for some of the niche communities that havent emigrated over here yet, but I really cant be bothered to go and fire up a 8 year old laptop or something just for fucking reddit. its a cesspit and getting banned is largely a blessing in disguise.
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
you probably need to use a new device and on a network you havent frequently used. Unique email addresses dont mean anything if you’re logging in with the same browser with the same cookies and “digital footprint”
- Comment on Getting mixed signals from Reddit. Furthermore I shall henceforth be on Lemmy full time. 2 months ago:
Reddit mods are fat slobs who can be easily duped, but Reddit algorithims will autoban you for making new accounts.
I’m basically exiled from it until I decide to get a new device and sign in on a new network other than my home or my work.
- Comment on Did the western world just suddenly go back to pretending wrestling is "real" for some reason? 2 months ago:
Wrestling is a form of theatre.
Its just the high octane, sensationalized, ridiculous, coked up, american pop culture version of Theatre.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=rnvSs3HEz2o excellent video where someone talks about why Wrestling got popular

- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 3 months ago:
If it didnt happen last time, and a close yet unsuccessful attempt was made this time. My money is on, Trump lives to start harping about a third term in 2028.
If it happens, its going to be a gavrillo princip type of deal, the more planning that goes into it, the more likely the conspirators get caught simply for the amount of surveilence that goes on in this world.
if anyone is going to merk a world leader. its going to be something spur of the moment, wrong turn, wrong person, wrong time.
